🇷🇼🇨🇩 Congo and Rwanda say peace talks in Angola will not take place
A meeting between the presidents of Rwanda and Democratic Republic of Congo will not take place as planned, both countries said, dashing hopes of a deal to curb Congo's M23 rebel conflict that has displaced more than 1.9 million people.
The event was meant to see a rare face-to-face meeting between the central African leaders in Angola, where long-running negotiations have sought to ease tensions between the neighbours linked to the almost three-year M23 insurgency.
"The cancellation of this tripartite is caused by the refusal of the Rwandan delegation to take part," Congo's presidency said in a statement.
