DRC Foreign Minister Thérèse Kayikwamba Wagner has called on the international community to increase pressure on Rwanda after it failed to meet the mid-July target for withdrawing its forces from eastern DRC under the Washington Peace Agreement.
She urged partners to move beyond statements of solidarity by imposing stronger sanctions on individuals and entities linked to the conflict, taking action against the trade in minerals that UN experts have reported originate from conflict-affected areas, and holding Rwanda accountable under international law.
"Solidarity should come with greater accountability," Kayikwamba said, arguing that stronger action is needed to help bring an end to the conflict.

When you realize there were elite snipers positioned around the stadium during the Spain vs. Argentina game 😳
I guess this is considered a normal football game in the US 😭
Who else caught the tribute to DR Congo fan Michel Nkuka during Justin Bieber's halftime performance at the World Cup final? 😲
Nkuka became a social media sensation for posing as a statue of DR Congo's independence leader Patrice Lumumba, with his right hand raised and standing still throughout games 🇨🇩
The 2026 FIFA World Cup was the largest sporting event in the history of the world, shattering previous attendance record by double digits. America- we got it done, ZERO major security incidents across our nation while we hosted the equivalent of 78 super bowls in 38 days, along with 40 base camps, endless fan zones, and celebrations in nearly every state.
President Trump promised his administration would deliver the most safe, secure, and fun environment for FIFA. He started by establishing the White
House FIFA Task Force some 16 months ago, and we got right to work.
This FBI led the charge dedicating nearly 5,000 personnel to the effort out of HQ, field, and international offices - across 16 host cities. And, none of what we accomplished is possible without our federal, state and local partners who all put in the same relentless effort. It’s the largest resource dedication the FBI has EVER made for a any event.
This FBI stood up a Joint Ops Center, International Police Coordination Center, Intelligence Coordination Center, and more - all from scratch- to collect and share intel in live time.
We established the first ever counter-UAS drone school, training members of law enforcement from across the country for the World Cup- we seized over 700 drones near FIFA airspace.
Whether it was UFC 250, SAIL 250, State Fair 250 or so many other events happening simultaneously- we DELIVERED the safest and most secure World Cup in history.
President Trump's leadership set the course, he led the way, and this FBI and our partners rose to the challenge- thanks to all our partners, @FIFA@DHSgov@WHTaskForceFIFA and their Director Andrew Giuliani.

In Saudi Arabia, African students are heavily restricted from studying corporate leadership, medicine, high-tech engineering, and strategic technology. Yet they have full access to Islamic law and hardcore Wahhabism. I'm just wondering why.
#Guerre_du_M23: Quand 15 à 30% de la production globale de coltan provient d’une zone occupée par une force étrangère, c’est une question de paix et de sécurité internationale.
Pour la MAE, @kayikwambaT, #Rubaya ne s’arrête pas à Rubaya.
Je lave mes mains.
Désormais, parlons de ce qui compte vraiment : l’emploi, la formation et l’entrepreneuriat des jeunes.
C’est sur ces priorités que je souhaite consacrer mon énergie.
Merci.
À la place de Chancel Mbemba, je propose au sélectionneur de la RDC, Emmanuel Mbemba, ce jeune défenseur central congolais de 18 ans qui s'engage avec le Paris FC jusqu'en juin 2030. C'est un grand pas pour sa carrière au plus haut niveau. Son talent se développera et le jeune apprendra.
