The agreement marks a significant step toward achieving enduring peace and stability in the Great Lakes region.
According to EMM, the United States has expressed gratitude to the State of Qatar for its pivotal role in facilitating this process. Qatar’s leadership in fostering dialogue between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and M23 has been crucial in supporting a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
