Congolese President Felix Tshisekedi has accused Rwanda of violating a U.S.-brokered peace agreement aimed at ending conflict in eastern Congo, just days after a signing ceremony in Washington. This accusation follows reports of Rwanda-backed M23 rebels advancing and deadly clashes, resulting in civilian casualties.

• 36 people were reportedly killed in Sange after it was bombed or struck with grenades.
• President Felix Tshisekedi made the accusations to lawmakers, with no immediate response from Rwanda.
• U.S. State Department urged Rwanda to prevent further escalation, noting that actions on the ground do not align with commitments made.
