DRC RWA CLASHES FRAGILE PEACE

Deadly clashes have erupted in the Democratic Republic of Congo as President Tshisekedi accuses Rwanda of undermining a fragile peace deal. This escalation represents a critical threat to stability in the Great Lakes region, where wars continue to displace millions and inflict incalculable economic costs. The conflict compounds existing security challenges across Africa, including insurgency in the Sahel and interstate tensions in the Horn of Africa. International institutions are struggling to steer resolution as multilateral mechanisms suffer deep malaise amid these growing geopolitical risks.
