【Key Focus: Trump Again Proven Wrong, the Rwanda-Congo Peace Agreement Signed Less Than a Week Ago, Situation Escalates】
On December 9, 2025, Washington time, the Associated Press wrote in a news release:
After the escalation of the Thailand-Cambodia border situation, international concerns about the increasing conflict between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo have intensified less than a week after the two countries signed a peace agreement in Washington. Trump said this agreement is one of the evidence of his ability to broker peace.
In a joint statement released on Tuesday, members of the International Great Lakes Contact Group (Belgium, United Kingdom, Denmark, France, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, the United States, and the European Union) expressed "deep concern" over recent developments in South Kivu province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where new deadly violence by the M23 militia group, accused of being supported by Rwanda, has recently erupted. They urged all parties to "comply with the commitments under the Washington Agreement of December 4, 2025, and immediately ease the situation."
