In a France 24 interview, US Senior Adviser for Africa Massad Boulos expressed deep disappointment over M23's takeover of Uvira in South Kivu, calling it a clear violation of the June 2025 Washington Peace Accord ratified in December and witnessed by President Trump. The deal sought troop withdrawals, FDLR neutralization, and economic ties over Congo's minerals, but M23—backed by Rwanda according to Boulos—advanced after partial retreats under US pressure on President Kagame. Boulos accused Kagame of betraying Trump administration trust and hinted at tools like sanctions, amid decades-old conflict displacing thousands and fragile ceasefires like the February Doha framework.
