Ceasefire Monitoring Mission Deploys to Eastern DRC
An international verification mission (MCVE+) arrived in Minembwe, South Kivu, on August 31, 2026, to monitor the formal ceasefire between the Congolese army and M23 rebels. The mission includes representatives from Kinshasa, the M23, and ICGLR observers. While a roadmap for peace talks was agreed upon in Switzerland last week, sporadic fighting persists in the mineral-rich region, with both sides accusing each other of ongoing truce violations.
