Representatives from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, and the UNHCR met in Ethiopia on June 22. The discussions focused on establishing a roadmap for the mutual return of refugees between the two nations. This diplomatic effort occurs while violent conflict continues to destabilize the eastern region of the DRC. Despite previous agreements signed in the United States and Qatar in 2025, stability remains elusive. The repatriation process is hindered by significant complexities and multiple systemic obstacles. Consequently, the path toward a successful return for displaced populations remains challenging. The international community continues to monitor these fragile negotiations.
