Democratic Republic Of Congo
A US-brokered peace deal in the DR Congo is more focused on plundering the country's resources than offering security, Nobel Peace Prize-winning Congolese doctor Denis Mukwege has told AFP.
The eastern Democratic Republic of Congo has been riven by decades of conflict with multiple armed groups fighting over its mineral-rich territory, including the Rwanda-backed M23 that seized swathes of the region last year.
Washington brokered a peace deal between the DRC and Rwanda in December aimed at ending the long-running conflict on the insistence of US President Donald Trump.
The deal included an economic component aiming to secure access to the DRC's vast reserves of strategic minerals for US businesses.
