There is a quick and peaceful solution to the “sorrow” u describe @Melaniegouby . The DRC government must #1 refrain from fighting alongside FDLR, #2 stop blaming Rwanda for locally-based armed violence, #3 honor Nairobi and Luanda agreements with M23, #4 stop Tutsiphobia in DRC.

The Congolese know how difficult it is to negotiate an end to war with Kagame's Rwanda, a predatory country that has consistently used bad faith & deceptive tactics to gain leverage. It lied about invading Zaire then bragged about it. Same for creating AFDL/RCD/CNDP/M23 militias.
