The M23 rebel group's advance into Uvira jeopardizes a US-brokered peace agreement for the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).The group's offensive, which began earlier this month and is reportedly backed by Rwandan soldiers, challenges the Washington Accords signed last week, despite a bomb explosion in Sange killing dozens and displacing thousands.Congolese President
Felix Tshisekedi accused
Rwanda of aggression by proxy, prompting calls from the
USA and
European countries for
M23 and
Kigali to cease their offensive and requiring increased engagement from Secretary of State
Marco Rubio and
Donald Trump.
