M23 WAR still ongoing SEPT 23 2025
Goma, Democratic Republic of Congo —
In the heart of Africa, in the mineral-rich eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, new recruits are being trained for battle.
The scores of militia groups that have fought for three decades in one of the most protracted and complex conflicts in the world are still engaging in deadly fighting, and US President Donald Trump’s claimed peace deal for the nation feels like a distant dream.

Democratic Republic of Congo President FĂ©lix Tshisekedi has said that a US-mediated peace agreement signed with Rwanda in June has not quelled fighting in eastern Congo, though he expressed gratitude to US President Donald Trump for his mediation efforts.
The June 27 deal aimed to end Rwandan support for the M23 rebel group, accused of atrocities in the region. Tshisekedi warned that progress depends on Kigali ceasing support for the rebels, which he claims has not happened.
“We are waiting for the Red Cross to approve a possible exchange of prisoners,” Tshisekedi said, noting some limited progress in talks.
Despite the continued conflict, Tshisekedi reaffirmed Congo’s strategic partnerships with China and indicated ongoing negotiations with the United States to develop mining sectors, infrastructure, and energy projects, emphasising that Congo will not “auction” its mineral resources.

September 24, 2025
The text of the following statement was released by the Governments of the United States of America, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Republic of Rwanda, the State of Qatar, the Republic of Togo (as the African Union facilitator), and the African Union Commission on the occasion of the second Joint Security Coordination Mechanism meeting held last week in Washington, D.C.
Begin text:
On September 17-18, 2025, representatives from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and the Republic of Rwanda, along with the United States, the State of Qatar, the Republic of Togo (as the African Union facilitator), and the African Union Commission convened the second meeting of the Joint Security Coordination Mechanism (JSCM) in Washington, D.C. to advance the implementation of the Peace Agreement signed on June 27, 2025.
JSCM members reviewed the current security posture in eastern DRC and exchanged intelligence and information to establish a shared understanding of the situation on the ground. This shared intelligence picture was used to develop a phased approach to implement the Concept of Operations (CONOPS) for the neutralization of the FDLR and its associated groups, and disengagement of forces/lifting of defensive measures by Rwanda.
The Governments of the DRC and Rwanda reaffirmed their commitments to the desired end state outlined in the CONOPS, which includes that the threat of FDLR in the DRC is eradicated, Rwanda’s defensive measures are lifted, the DRC’s authority is restored, and trust between the DRC and Rwanda is reestablished.
During the two-day meeting, the parties negotiated an Operational Order (OPORD) to advance the CONOPS. The parties agreed to begin implementation of the OPORD on October 1, 2025.
The Governments of the DRC and Rwanda expressed their gratitude to the United States, Qatar, the African Union, and Togo for their continued support and facilitation of the peace process.
All parties reaffirmed their commitment to advancing durable peace and stability in eastern DRC and the Great Lakes region.

Where are the minerals? The DRC diid not participate in discussions with AVZ when they suspended the ICSID. Typical felix the scammer, wants everything but gives nothing
Alot of misleading INFO getting around...imo...!
Although headlines in June announced a US-brokered peace deal between the Congo and Rwanda, no formal agreement was reached, apart from the United States encouraging Rwanda to cease its support for M23 and Congo to commit to reintegration efforts. Still, the peace deal narrative has unravelled, with missed deadlines in follow-up talks in Qatar and little change on the ground. M23 has maintained its hold in North Kivu, cutting supply routes and executing attacks against civilians.

Your the one always crying about MAGA and it's a fact that Felix waited until Trump was in office before begging for help

The DRC are still willing to hold their PARTNERSHIP with CHINA
They the DRC will not AUCTION their minerals of to the U S...????

Key Takeaway: Delegations from the Congolese government and M23 reportedly left Doha, the Qatari capital, without a breakthrough after a fifth round of talks last week. DRC President Félix Tshisekedi blamed Rwanda for the slow progress in implementing the US-backed peace agreement. Corneille Nangaa, M23’s political chief, rejected the US-backed process and restated M23’s ambitions to topple the Congolese government. M23 clashed with pro-Congolese government Wazalendo fighters in north-central Masisi district in North Kivu.
Kinetic Activity in Rutshuru & Eastern Masisi Districts
Nothing significant to report.
Southern Axis: Bukavu-Uvira-Baraka-Kalemie
M23 clashed with pro-Congolese Wazalendo fighters on the outskirts of Bukavu. The Congolese media outlet Radio Maendeleo reported that M23 attacked Wazalendo fighters in Chituzo village in the Mudaka group, about 12 miles north of Bukavu center in Kabare district on the RN2, on September 23.https://www.criticalthreats.org/bri...21584b8#_ednaf50b5a39225edff8ca1a53fbdef1c171 M23 last clashed with Wazalendos in Mudaka in mid-July.[ii]
Northwest Axis: Masisi-Walikale-Lubutu-Kisangani
M23 clashed with Wazalendo fighters in north-central Masisi district in North Kivu. Congolese media reported that M23 clashed with Wazalendos in Nyabikeri village, which is in the Lukweti locality, in the Bashali chiefdom on September 23.[iii] Lukweti is 11 miles north of Nyabiondo on a local road. M23 has clashed regularly with Wazalendo fighters in Bashali since early September when M23 launched an offensive in the area.
Southwest Axis: Bukavu-Kamituga-Shabunda-Kindu
Nothing significant to report.
Major Political Developments
Delegations from the Congolese government and M23 reportedly left Doha, the Qatari capital, without a breakthrough after a fifth round of talks last week.

M23 advanced southward from Nzibira in Walungu district in South Kivu. M23 reinforced its positions near Lubero town and in southern Lubero district in North Kivu.
