The Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda have agreed to a "de-escalation process" to stop violence between the Congolese army and rebels, which the DRC claims are supported by Rwanda. Angola's President, serving as mediator, has called the agreement a “ceasefire”.
"I am pleased to announce that we have had positive results ... we have agreed on a ceasefire, among other measures," said Angolan leader Joao Lourenco, after a day-long mini-summit Wednesday in Luanda between the leaders of the two countries.
