The Democratic Republic of Congo and M23 rebels signed a ceasefire deal in Doha on July 19, 2025, committing to halt hostilities and begin formal peace talks by August 8. The agreement, brokered by Qatar and backed by the African Union and U.S., includes prisoner releases, the return of displaced people, and restoration of state control in rebel-held areas. While welcomed internationally, concerns remain over implementation—especially regarding M23’s withdrawal from occupied territories. FRANCE 24’s Emmet Livingstone has the details.
