During the OIF Summit in Paris on Saturday, Rwanda's foreign minister Olivier Nduhungirehe said that his DR Congo counterpart refused to sign an agreement aimed at resolving the conflict in eastern DR Congo with the terrorist group of M23 rebels, according to a report by Reuters
Minister Olivier Nduhungirehe said that experts from the three countries, including the head of DR Congo's military intelligence, had agreed to sign a plan to "destroy the FDLR group".The agreement was supposed to be signed by Minister Olivier Nduhungirehe and his DR Congo counterpart Thérèse Kayikwamba on the 14th of last September. Still, it was not signed, and both sides did not publicly announce the reason.
Nduhungirehe told Reuters: “We were ready to sign, but the Minister of DR Congo refused. She reviewed the reports, returned them, and said she did not trust what was written in them.”
After the discussions on September 14, various sources reported that the DR Congo side disagreed with the experts' report.
The reports outlined a plan for fighting the FDLR (Patriots Rebels Group) first. Days later, Rwanda also could withdraw its troops from DRCcongo territory according to Reuters, However, the Minister of DR Congo rejected the idea of implementing the plan.
Minister Thérèse Kayikwamba told BBC that there was an agreement in Luanda "that was presented for us to agree on but we have not reached the level of accepting or rejecting the agreement, there are several steps that must be taken first, The most important step that has been achieved is short ceasefire agreement that is accepted by all parties involved".
