Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo have signed a historic peace agreement in Washington with hopes it will bring a close to the decades long conflict. While seen as a turning point, critics of the deal say it contains major omissions and argue the critical minerals element further exploits people in the region.

Breathe Pictures Photography Podcast: Documentaries and Interviews
This week, I'm walking with Thomas Nicolon, a National Geographic Explorer whose camera has led him through the dense rainforests of Central Africa and the tangled frontlines of wildlife trafficking in the Amazon. He's a photographer, filmmaker, and conservation storyteller who studies some of the world's most vulnerable ecosystems. Thomas spent five years in the Democratic Republic of Congo, working as a journalist before shifting his focus entirely to the natural world. Since then, he has collaborated with conservation organisations such as WWF and WCS, and published his work in Le Monde, Reuters, GEO, and Mongabay. Thomas has an insatiable love for photography, and that comes across today as he invites you to embrace your childhood wonder and see through the eyes of a nine-year-old. From the mailbag, Allin Sorenson reflects on his creative legacy, Patrick Gerke's lost in a jungle of grass, and Michael Brennan delivers a heartfelt letter and boldly bins off social media's pesky algorithms. I announce a special Photowalk meet up planned for July 30th and Paul Hutson invites you to take part in the One Word Assignment. Links to all guests and features will be on the show page, my sincere thanks to Arthelper, who sponsor this show, plus our Extra Milers, without whom we wouldn't be walking each week.

In this sweeping episode, Ghost breaks down why geography is destiny, and how the old Silk Road trade routes are being revived to reshape global power. He explores Kazakhstan's sudden importance as Russia, China, and Iran link up railways and pipelines in a new Eurasian triangle that cuts out Western influence. From Chinese investment treaties and Saudi port expansions to Russia's quiet nuclear deals across Africa and Central Asia, Ghost unpacks how the multipolar world is materializing beneath the headlines. He dives into the Astana Process, the shadowy Astana city itselfJor, and the strategic chessboard of Central Asia that echoes ancient Mongol invasions and Ottoman history. You'll also hear why pipeline routes matter more than media narratives, how rare earth minerals in the Congo fuel everything from iPhones to missiles, and why seemingly disconnected conflicts in Ukraine, Armenia, and the DRC are all part of the same supply chain struggle. Complete with maps, historical context, and a big dose of skepticism about legacy media, this is a masterclass in understanding the economic and geographic forces behind today's headlines.
#cuttheclutter Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda on Friday signed a peace deal, marking the end of decades-long fighting in eastern DRC that upended millions of lives. In Episode 1689 of #CutTheClutter ThePrint Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta traces DRC's roots, from being a Belgian colony till 1960 to Mobutu's rule and the 2009 pact that led to the birth of Rwanda-backed M23 rebel group; he also explains how large reserves of tantalum and cobalt have brought the ‘resource curse' tag upon DRC and Rwanda. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To visit ThePrint Store: https://store.theprint.in/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Produced By: Mahira Khan

C'est ce vendredi 27 juin que les ministres des Affaires étrangères de la RDC et du Rwanda doivent signer un accord de paix à Washington, en présence de leur homologue américain, Marco Rubio. Jusqu'à ce jour, à la demande des États-Unis, les termes de l'accord sont restés secrets. Mais le chercheur américain Jason Stearns a réussi à en connaître les grandes lignes. Jason Stearns est le co-fondateur de l'institut congolais de recherches Ebuteli. Il enseigne aussi à l'université Simon Fraser, au Canada. En ligne des États-Unis, il répond aux questions de Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI: Jason Stearns, quelles sont les grandes lignes de l'accord qui doit être signé ce vendredi ? Jason Stearns: On ne connaît pas le contenu exactement. Mais ce que nous pensons, c'est que ce sera un accord comme beaucoup d'autres accords dans les deux décennies passées entre le Rwanda et la RDC. Il sera basé sur le principe que le Rwanda se retire et que le Congo mène des opérations contre les FDLR, ce groupe de rebelles rwandais. Donc c'est le point, je pense, le plus important de l'accord. Parmi les points les plus controversés pendant les négociations, je pense, il y a eu le fait que cela soit mené simultanément, c'est à dire que le Rwanda retire ses troupes et que, d'une façon simultanée, la RDC commence les opérations contre les FDLR. Le problème avec cela, c'est que, comme c'est simultané, les deux côtés peuvent dire que l'autre n'a pas tenu ses promesses et que le Rwanda puisse dire que l'armée congolaise n'a pas assez fait contre les FDLR. Cela est d'autant plus vrai que les FDLR se trouvent, une grande partie au moins des FDLR, se trouvent sur le territoire contrôlé par le M23 et l'armée rwandaise actuellement. Donc c'est parmi les grands défis je pense, et il y a des autres aspects de l'accord aussi, le fait que le Rwanda devrait pousser le M23 à se retirer des grandes villes, dont Goma et Bukavu surtout, et le fait que le Congo devrait permettre aux M23 de se convertir en parti politique et de participer à la démocratie congolaise et, en même temps, le fait de laisser les combattants du M23 soit rejoindre un processus de démobilisation ou, au cas par cas, rejoindre l'armée nationale. Et à court terme, est-ce qu'il y a un mécanisme qui va s'assurer que l'armée rwandaise et les rebelles FDLR vont bien quitter le terrain du Nord et du Sud-Kivu ? Il y a un mécanisme conjoint de vérification qui sera mis en place par les deux pays avec une participation des États-Unis. Il faut dire que le calendrier pour la mise en œuvre de cet accord est ambitieux. Ça va se traiter dans les prochains trois mois. Et donc, pendant ces trois mois, il y aura une participation des États-Unis. Et je pense aussi que les pays de la sous-région pourraient justement veiller à ce que les deux côtés sont en train de mettre en œuvre les accords. Et si les États-Unis rentrent dans ce mécanisme conjoint, est-ce à dire que les satellites d'observation américains vont aider à vérifier tout ça ? Je pense, car c'est depuis 2023 que les États-Unis se sont vraiment engagés et je pense que ça va continuer pour la collecte des informations. Qu'est-ce qui garantit que l'armée rwandaise et les FDLR vont se retirer du champ de bataille ? Il n'y a pas de garantie comme tel. Donc je pense qu'il faut se poser la question : Qu'est-ce qui motive le Rwanda et la RDC à signer cet accord aujourd'hui ? Donc je pense qu'il y a des bâtons et des carottes. Les carottes sont surtout d'ordre économique. Donc, les Etats-Unis ont promis toute une série d'investissements dans la région. Côté minerai, il y a des compagnies privées américaines qui seraient prêtes à investir dans les mines à l'est de la RDC. Mais le traitement et l'exportation des minerais se feraient à partir du Rwanda. Donc comme ça, les deux côtés seraient encouragés d'investir dans la paix et pas dans l'instabilité. Alors l'un des problèmes, Jason Stearns, c'est que les rebelles du M23 ne sont pas conviés à la signature de l'accord de ce vendredi à Washington. Est-ce que ce n'est pas préoccupant ? C'est préoccupant dans le sens que le Rwanda pourra toujours dire que, voilà, ils ont tenu leur côté de l'accord. Si les M23 ne mettent pas l'accord en œuvre, ce n'est pas leur problème, comme ils ne contrôlent pas les M23. Or, nous savons que le Rwanda a une forte implication dans la gestion du M23, si on peut le dire ainsi. Mais le Rwanda pourrait toujours nier cela. Alors en effet, le gouvernement congolais espère que, si l'armée rwandaise se retire du terrain, le M23 va s'effondrer. Mais est-ce que c'est si simple que cela ? Ce n'est pas si simple dans le sens que, dans les mois passés, le M23, surtout depuis la prise de Goma, a mené des opérations très sérieuses pour recruter des milliers de nouvelles recrues, pour amener toute l'élite locale dans des camps de formation, pour mettre en place une administration parallèle sur le terrain avec des services de taxation, des services d'administration pour peser sur les chefs coutumiers, afin qu'ils se réorientent vers le M23. Donc il sera difficile de démanteler tout cela. Et donc je pense qu'il est important, pas seulement que l'accord soit signé, mais que, dans la mise en œuvre de cet accord, il y ait un suivi, pas seulement des Etats-Unis, mais de tous les autres acteurs impliqués de la sous-région et des Nations Unies et de l'Union africaine pour veiller à ce que le M23 aussi rejoigne le processus de paix. Avec Joseph Kabila et Corneille Nangaa ? Leur sort n'a pas été évoqué par cet accord, donc c'est parmi les grandes inconnues.

La forêt du Bassin du Congo couvre 180 millions d'hectares et s'étale sur six pays d'Afrique centrale. Premier puits de carbone au monde avec la forêt amazonienne, elle aussi est victime d'une importante déforestation. Or les attaques contre la nature ont de graves impacts sur les populations locales, sur les femmes en particulier. Co-fondatrice de l'APADIME, l'Action pour la Protection en Afrique des Déplacés Internes et des Migrants Environnementaux, Estelle Lobé s'est engagée autant pour la forêt de son enfance que pour défendre les populations qui souffrent de la surexploitation de l'environnement.

This week we're cracking open Congo (1995), the jungle romp where killer gorillas guard diamonds and a gorilla named Amy talks with a Nintendo Power Glove. Laura Linney's armed, Dylan Walsh brought juice boxes for a primate, and Ernie Hudson is the only one who knows what movie he's in. It's corporate espionage meets theme park ride—and we're digging through the chaos to see why this '90s relic is still echoing through our brains like “Ugly gorilla!

Zohran Mamdani is jong, moslim, noemt zichzelf ‘democratische socialist' en maakt grote kans burgemeester van New York te worden namens de Democratische partij. Hij versloeg in de voorverkiezingen Andrew Cuomo, de favoriet van de partijtop, dankzij een sterk progressieve campagne. We spreken met Amerika-deskundige Bianca Pander over wat deze overwinning betekent voor de in crisis verkerende Democratische partij. (11:21) Brengt Trump vrede in Congo? President Trump kondigt trots aan dat de VS een vredesdeal tussen Rwanda en de Democratische Republiek Congo heeft bemiddeld, die vrijdag getekend wordt. Waarom krijgt hij de Nobelprijs voor de Vrede toch niet? Maar de belangrijkste strijdende partij – de door Rwanda gesteunde M23-rebellen – nemen niet deel aan de onderhandelingen. Hoe realistisch is vrede dan? Daarover Congokenner Sandrine Ekofo. Presentatie: Chris Kijne
Gabriel Mwénè Okoundji est considéré comme l'une des grandes voix de la poésie africaine francophone contemporaine. Le nom est l'autre visage des êtres, écrit Gabriel Mwéné Okoundji. «Okoundji» en langue bantoue, cela veut dire chef et «Mwéné» porteur de la spiritualité du peuple. Son deuxième nom, «Mwéné», il l'a hérité à la mort de son père, à ses neuf ans. Un nom qui a marqué sa vie, son enfance et probablement une destinée de poète ! La poésie permet à l'homme de faire confiance en sa fragilité Gabriel Mwéné Okoundji est né en 1962 dans le petit village de Okondo en République du Congo, village qui a fait naître en lui «toute la sensibilité qu'il porte». Adolescent, il rejoint Brazzaville pour aller au lycée. Puis, il part à Bordeaux, en France, pour suivre des études de médecine. Il y vit désormais depuis près de 40 ans. Parallèlement, il écrit beaucoup de poésie pour porter la parole de l'écriture. Il se décrit comme un «enfant de la négritude» mais se sent aussi comme un descendant de troubadour. L'écriture pour moi vient parfois par effraction, d'une rencontre, d'un mot, d'une lecture, d'un chant. Mais cette rencontre peut aussi venir en langue tékée comme elle peut venir en langue française. Ce sont ces deux langues qui me nourrissent. Quand l'une donne, l'autre reçoit, quand l'une reçoit, l'autre invoque, l'autre évoque. Ce sont mes deux langues maternelles. Parfois, je ne trouve pas de mot équivalent en français alors, je le laisse en langue tékée. Gabriel Okoundji Invité : Gabriel Mwéné Okoundji, psychologue de métier et poète franco-congolais. Son recueil L'âme blessée d'un éléphant noir, suivi de Stèles du point du jour, est à retrouver dans la collection Poésie aux éditions Gallimard. Programmation musicale : L'artiste Ours avec le titre Le spleen d'une vie sublime.
Victoria Coates, former Deputy National Security Advisor, provides her insights on the significant developments at the NATO summit in the Netherlands, where President Donald Trump achieved historic commitments from European nations to bolster their defense spending. Coates discusses the implications of these changes for global security, the ongoing challenges posed by China, and the recent peace agreement between Congo and Rwanda. Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne from Texas takes a look into the burgeoning creator economy, exploring how digital content creators are reshaping the economic landscape and the need for Congress to adapt to these changes. Finally, former Assistant Secretary of State and AMAC spokesman Bobby Charles joins for his weekly conversation. This week Bobby shares his take on the recent developments in the Middle East and the impact of President Trump's actions on global security. Bobby shares insights on the surgical strike against Iran, the implications for U.S. relations with key players like Saudi Arabia and Turkey, and the importance of vigilance against potential threats within the United States.
