Trump's Peace Deals Unravel: Congo Accuses Rwanda of Violating Truce Amid Regional Tensions

US President Donald Trump's touted peace deals are facing a setback as regional tensions escalate. Just days after a peace treaty was signed in Washington, Congolese President Felix Tshisekedi accused Rwanda of violating the agreement, citing recent attacks by the Rwanda-backed M23 armed group. The development raises concerns about the stability of the region, which has been plagued by three decades of conflict. The Congolese President claimed that units of the Rwandan Defence Force carried out attacks on the same day the peace treaty was signed, killing at least 36 people and injuring many others. Burundi has also condemned Rwanda's actions, accusing the country of dropping bombs on its territory. The peace deal between Congo and Rwanda was brokered by the US as part of Trump's efforts to resolve conflicts worldwide. Trump has previously claimed to have settled eight wars, citing trade and tariffs as key factors. However, his Nobel Peace Prize bid was unsuccessful, with the award going to Venezuelan democracy activist Maria Corina Machado. The recent incidents are a stark reminder of the challenges facing regional peace efforts. In a separate development, air strikes by Thailand along its disputed border with Cambodia have raised concerns about the stability of the region. As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen whether the peace deal between Congo and Rwanda can hold. The US, which played a key role in brokering the agreement, will be watching developments closely to assess the effectiveness of its peace-making efforts.
