Verbal translation of the video

Now we are here today to talk about the DRC in general. I'm sure some people are interested in the ongoing peace process right now. Next week, we have technical teams here to try to take the next step. We have signed the agreements of principle now. We are committed to putting these principles into practice. We did what I think, as much as we can on online video, calls, emails. It's time to reunite the teams. So we're doing it right now. Now the timeline, as you may have heard, we signed these agreements of principles in April. We have these technical teams here today. We are still aiming for a peace agreement in June or July. It's a bit what the United States brings to the table, it's an extremely aggressive chronology, frankly, an ambition. It's no use doing stupid things about it. If we are going to do it, we do it. We're doing it now. We are not going to wait six months for the next meeting. We have to get there. And so, yes, that's what we are talking about. And I must note that the reason we are involved is that both parties have asked us to be involved. Both parties said: Okay, maybe you can do this thing. And that's why we're here, that's why we're at the heart of it all. But the key principle is that there are a number of processes you have heard of. You've heard about the Luanda and Nairobi processes. We now have a Doha process. And then, of course, there is the AU process. These are not separate places that can be played against each other. These are organized. They are coordinated and they support each other. And in fact, we will have the Qataris here next week as well as part of the negotiations.

Thanks for posting. Here's the full speech in Washington covering the US approach to the peace deal, in the context of their new paradigm of commercial diplomacy:

US seeks a peace deal in Rwanda Congo confllict by July

US Seeks a Peace Deal in Rwanda-Congo Conflict by July

By Michael J Kavanagh

June 12, 2025 at 3:59 PM UTC

The US wants Rwanda and Democratic Republic of Congo to sign a peace deal by July, according to a top State Department official for Africa.

Technical teams from both countries will be in Washington next week to discuss ending a conflict between the two nations that has left more than a million people displaced, thousands dead and a large swath of mineral-rich eastern Congo under Rwanda-backed rebel control.

“If we’re going to do it, we do it now,” Ambassador Troy Fitrell, a senior official in the State Department’s African Affairs bureau said at the Atlantic Council in Washington Thursday. “We’re not going to wait six months for the next meeting — we’re going to get this done.”

Congo, the EU and the US accuse Rwanda of backing the M23 armed group, which relaunched a rebellion in eastern Congo in 2021. The group took two major cities earlier this year, causing widespread international condemnation of the group and Rwanda, which continues to deny backing the rebels.

The US is trying to broker a peace agreement along with multiple African nations and the government of Qatar, which will also send officials to Washington next week, Fitrell said.

The US is also discussing investment in minerals and physical and digital infrastructure, Fitrell said, to support Congo’s mining industry and develop the country’s agriculture. Fitrell positioned US and western investment in Congo as the better alternative to Chinese miners, which dominate the industry.

Congo is the world’s second-biggest producer of copper and the biggest source of key battery mineral cobalt.

Ok this will be positive news once the diplomatic source is confirmed.

Ok this will be positive news if the diplomatic source is confirmed.
I did have a quick look at the journo John Lungila but hard to tell how legit he is.
How is your research going to confirm this "is positive news"?

Interesting regarding 9card edits to their latest postings - Silenced perhaps? Also thanks for welcoming back after the diabolical last few weeks. Long-long term holder bought in avg around 6c. 500k+ share holding. Blah blah.

Still won’t dog the shareholders who got in at much higher prices. 12 bucks minimum.
What are you like good cop / bad cop?
Multi accounts is pretty suspicious around here these days. Doesn't seem like fatcat is deleted either.

Had you memorised 9cards postings? :unsure:

I'm just saying you seem suspicious pretending one account was deleted elsewhere and pretending you are someone else entirely here at a time when we have had a troll deleting pages off this thread and entire threads from the AVZ section of the forum.

When the crapper moderates multiple posts exposing and undermining a persistent campaign for a class action, over minor historical anomalies, then you know you've hit a nerve.

In short, this vexatious campaign against our co has little-to-no chance of legal success. Hence the last-ditch appeals to social media, before a deal is done. It's all they have.

DRC: Kabila activates its networks in Washington​

Saturday, June 14, 2025 - 07:33

Arrived directly from Goma under occupation, Kikaya Bin Karubi, a close collaborator of former President Joseph Kabila - accused by Félix Tshisekedi of leading the rebellion supported by Rwanda in the east of the country - has been staying for a few days in Washington DC, where he claims to be carrying out an explanatory mission. It was in the American capital that ACTUALITE.CD met him.

While the delegates of Kinshasa and Kigali flock to Washington to negotiate the peace plan initiated by the United States, which aims to reach an agreement between the two parties to the conflict by next July, a major player in the crisis, who has remained behind American diplomacy so far, is trying to make himself heard and assert his arguments before the authorities in Washington. Joseph Kabila, Felix Tshisekedi's predecessor at the head of the country, mandated one of his closest collaborators, Kikaya Bin Karubi, to the American capital. A mission that coincides with the presence also for a few days in Washington of the opponent Moïse Katumbi, already received at the State Department, and who should, in parallel with his contacts with the Trump administration, participate in the Club World Cup which will take place from June 15 in several American cities.

"I came to meet the officials of the Congress, the House of Representatives, the National Security Council, some circles who are thinking about the issue of the DRC and in particular organizations such as Human Rights Watch," says to ACTUALITE.CD Kikaya Bin Karubi, met Thursday between two appointments near the White House.

The goal, hammers Kikaya Bin Karubi, collaborator for 25 years and one of the main advisors of the former Congolese president from 2001 to 2019, "is to explain the merits of Joseph Kabila's active return to politics, defend Kabila's political family, his ideas and make people understand the real situation of the country that is experiencing a catastrophe with the current regime. The main message is the one contained in his speech and presented to American decision-makers: the peace plan proposed by Joseph Kabila which aims to end tyranny.

On May 26, Joseph Kabila returned to the DRC by the city of Goma, ending an exile that began in December 2023, after, in his first address to the nation since 2019, launched a violent criticism against the governance of his successor Félix Tshisekedi. He then announced his intention to return to the provincial capital of North Kivu, which fell under the control of the rebels and their Rwandan supporters in January, to play an active role and, according to his terms, put an end to the dictatorship and tyranny of Felix Tshisekedi. "President Kabila's objectives are not in contradiction with those of the rebellion. They all aim to end Tshisekedi's tyranny, "says Kikaya Bin Karubi.

If international diplomats and observers strongly question the true intentions of Joseph Kabila, whose choice to return to Goma raises many questions about a possible alliance with the rebels or a bold political strategy, Félix Tshisekedi, his successor, fears that this return is only a prelude to an attempt to overthrow by force, aimed at restoring Kabila to power.

Since the lifting of his immunities on May 22, Joseph Kabila has been the target of serious accusations made by the auditor general at the High Military Court, who charges him in particular with "treason, war crimes, crimes against humanity and participation in an insurrectionary movement", because of his alleged support for the M23 rebellion, supported by Rwanda. "We know that the next step is that beyond his property that is confiscated, they want to issue an international arrest warrant against Kabila," adds Kikaya.

While the Congolese government accuses Kabila of being secured in Goma by a defeated rebellion in 2013 and by Rwandan soldiers, Kabila's entourage maintains that the latter, "stripped" of his custody by Félix Tshisekedi before his exile, has formed his own guard composed of several elements that are with him "everywhere, and even in Goma".
