US-brokered DRC–Rwanda peace track: framework agreement signed 27 Jun 2025; the ‘Washington Accords for Peace and Prosperity’ signed by Presidents Tshisekedi and Kagame on 4 Dec 2025, with a regional economic framework (trade, critical-minerals transparency, investment). Rwandan troop withdrawal is tied to neutralising the FDLR. Fighting continued: M23 took Uvira within days of the signing, and the US has since sanctioned Rwanda for violations (Mar and Oct 2026).
