Civil society organisations are calling for peace talks between Tshisekedi and Kagame.

Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo soldiers take their position following renewed fighting near the Congolese border with Rwanda, outside Goma in the North Kivu province of the Democratic Republic of Congo May 28, 2022.The call comes amid an escalation of fighting between Congolese forces and the M23 rebels in the region. A recent UN report accused Rwandan troops of fighting alongside the rebels in Congolese territory.

The coordinator of the civil society organisations proposed a meeting between Tshisekedi and Kagame to end the bloodshed in eastern DRC. The DRC government and the UN have accused Rwanda of backing the rebels – a charge that Rwanda has denied. They have captured swathes of territories in North Kivu province and continued to launch offensives. On Thursday, the UN Security Council condemned the recent attacks by the M23 rebels and urged both sides to stop fighting.
