WorldCan the Doha Framework End the Conflict in Eastern DRC?

The peace process in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, stalled for months, appears to be moving forward. The Rwanda-backed M23 rebel group has accepted 15 prisoners released by the government in Kinshasa. The transfer is part of a framework agreement signed last year after Qatar mediated talks. Though limited, the step could help open a path toward ending the fighting. Earlier efforts have failed to secure peace in the region, raising questions about whether this mechanism can address the conflict’s core issues.
