FDLR to be neutralised according to the CONOP

 


DRC and Rwanda adopted, on Tuesday, November 26, a document implementing the harmonized plan for the neutralization of the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR) and the lifting of Rwanda's defense.


These two countries signed this document entitled: "Concept of Operations" (CONOP) at the 6th ministerial meeting on the peace process in the East of the DRC held in Luanda (Angola).


Kinshasa and Kigali thus wanted to facilitate the disengagement of this rebel force.


During this meeting, the ministers of these two countries concluded on the need to continue as quickly as possible the negotiations on the other aspects of the draft agreement as presented to the parties by the Angolan mediator Joao Lourenco last August.


The Congolese delegation was led by its Minister of Foreign Affairs, Thérèse Kayikwamba Wagner, while that of Rwanda was led by Olivier Nduhungirehe, Minister of Foreign Affairs. 


This meeting takes place three weeks after the establishment in Goma (North Kivu) of the Reinforced Ad Hoc Verification Mechanism (MVA-R) of the Luanda process.


Led by Angola, this mechanism aims to monitor not only the ceasefire between the two states, but also their mutual accusations of aggression and attacks.


Last weekend, the Angolan Minister of Foreign Affairs, Téte António, and the Head of MONUSCO, Bintou Keita, signed in Luanda a memorandum of understanding on MONUSCO's support for the Reinforced Ad Hoc Verification Mechanism (MVA-R).


As part of the ceasefire in force since August 4, 2024, indicates a press release from MONUSCO, the agreement provides for the sharing of information and field reports.
