In an interview with FRANCE 24, Rwandan Foreign Minister Olivier Nduhungirehe said his country is "disappointed by the increasingly biased US mediation" in the conflict with DR Congo. He also accused the US of sanctioning Kigali alone while Kinshasa fails to honour the 2025 Washington Accords between the two countries.
Nduhungirehe said the June 27, 2025 agreement between Rwanda and DR Congo, ratified by both presidents alongside US President Donald Trump, committed Kinshasa to a ceasefire and to neutralising the FDLR, a militia Rwanda describes as a genocidal force. Neither obligation has been met, he said, accusing the Congolese government of instead supplying the group with weapons. He pointed to civilian victims of drone strikes, including the French UNICEF worker Karine Buisset killed in March.
