• Congolese President Felix Tshisekedi stated Rwanda violated its commitments by supporting attacks with heavy weaponry the day after the deal.
• The Trump-brokered agreement, signed on December 4th, aimed to end conflict in eastern Congo involving the Rwanda-backed M23 group.
• Fresh fighting erupted in South Kivu province, with a UN report documenting human rights violations by Rwanda and M23.
• This is not the first Trump-brokered peace deal to unravel, with a similar situation occurring between Thailand and Cambodia.
