One year after the Washington Accords: Joshua Walker takes stock of a peace process 'at an impasse'

One year after the Washington Accords, Joshua Walker provides a critical assessment of the peace process in the Democratic Republic of Congo, calling it an 'impasse'. He expresses concerns about a lasting entrenchment of the M23 rebel group in the eastern part of the country, supported by Rwanda. The Washington Accords, signed in July 2025, have failed to end the violence in eastern DRC.
