Tshisekedi to attend summit in Tanzania to discuss eastern Congo conflict

hindustantimes.com — February 6, 2025, 07:01 PM UTC

Democratic Republic of Congo's President Felix Tshisekedi will attend a regional summit in Tanzania on February 7-8 to address the ongoing conflict in eastern Congo. Rwandan-backed rebels have recently captured more territory, including Goma. The summit will include Rwandan President Paul Kagame, who is accused of supporting the rebels, a claim Rwanda denies. Tshisekedi's participation comes amid rising tensions and a deteriorating humanitarian situation in the region. Rebels have violated a ceasefire and are advancing towards Bukavu, causing panic among residents. The United Nations reports significant displacement and a humanitarian crisis, with calls for an investigation into human rights violations in Goma.
