US President Donald Trump announces a Congo-Rwanda peace deal to end 30 years of conflict. Leaders to sign agreement in Washington this month.

Imagine living in a country where war has never ended. For 30 years, people in eastern Congo have lived with fear, gunshots, and tears. But now, hope is shining again.

On Wednesday, July 9, US President Donald Trump spoke to the world. He said that by the end of this month, Congo and Rwanda will sign a peace agreement. This signing will happen in Washington DC, with President Félix Tshisekedi of Congo and President Paul Kagame of Rwanda coming together.

A Deal That Could End 30 Years of Pain

Eastern Congo has seen endless fighting. Millions have died. Many people blame Rwanda for supporting the M23 rebels and sending troops into Congo. This has caused pain and anger for years.

President Trump said:

“It was a long and hard struggle, but both countries are very pleased today that we were able to resolve this issue.”

He added that the final agreement will be signed in the next two weeks. Just last week, the foreign ministers of both countries visited the White House to prepare for this moment.

Who Helped Make This Happen?

Trump praised his senior advisor for Africa, Massad Boulos, for working hard behind the scenes. Many people thought peace between Congo and Rwanda was impossible. But Boulos played a key role in bringing the two sides to the table.
