President João Lourenço, mandated by the African Union to mediate in the crisis between Kinshasa and Kigali, met successively with Presidents Félix Tshisekedi (DRC) on Wednesday and Paul Kagame (Rwanda) on Thursday. These phone calls aimed to discuss the security situation in eastern DRC.
These discussions come after the signing, on November 25 in Luanda, of a Concept of Operations (CONOPS) by the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the DRC and Rwanda. This plan, developed under the mediation of João Lourenço, sets out the modalities of joint efforts to neutralize the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR) and initiate a disengagement of Rwandan forces.
The plan includes four main phases:
An analysis of the threats posed by the FDLR, including the location of their positions and equipment.
Targeted actions to neutralize the FDLR and their allies.
A joint assessment of progress made.
A stabilization phase involving the demobilization and repatriation of ex-FDLR combatants, as well as the normalization of bilateral relations between the DRC and Rwanda.
