The government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (RDC) has claimed responsibility for the dismantling of the FDLR (Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda), which would allow Rwanda to lift its border security measures. However, this has not yet been fully implemented. Despite the DRC government's efforts that resemble a campaign urging FDLR fighters to lay down their arms, a report from UN experts confirms that the country's forces have continued to provide support to this group, including weapons and ammunition.

It has been revealed that the DRC government assured the FDLR that, despite promising in Washington to dismantle it, they do not intend to comply with this commitment because the group provides them with essential support in the fight against the AFM/M23 alliance, which controls large areas in the provinces of North and South Kivu

Mwakilishi Maalum wa Umoja wa Ulaya (EU) katika Kanda ya Maziwa Makuu, Johan Borgstam, amekumbusha serikali ya Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Kongo kwamba inapaswa kuondoa kikundi cha kigaidi cha FDLR kinachopinga serikali ya Rwanda. EU inaendelea kuunga mkono mataifa katika kanda ya Maziwa Makuu katika juhudi zao za kutafuta amani na maendeleo.

Ushirikiano wa kiuchumi unaweza kuwa na jukumu muhimu katika kufikia hatua hiyo. Johan Borgstam alisisitiza umuhimu wa kutekelezwa kwa makubaliano ya amani yaliyosainiwa kati ya Rwanda na DRC huko Washington mwezi Juni na Desemba 2025, pamoja na makubaliano mengine ya msingi yaliyosainiwa Doha, Qatar, ambayo yanapaswa kuheshimiwa na pande zote.

Serikali ya Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Kongo (RDC) imechukua jukumu la kuondoa FDLR (Vikosi vya Kidemokrasia vya Kukomboa Rwanda), ambayo ingemuwezesha Rwanda kufuta hatua zake za usalama kwenye mipaka. Hata hivyo, hii bado haijatekelezwa kikamilifu. Licha ya jitihada za serikali ya DRC ambazo zina fanana na kampeni inayowasisitiza wanamgambo wa FDLR kuacha silaha, ripoti kutoka kwa wataalamu wa UN inaonyesha kwamba vikosi vya nchi hiyo vimeendelea kutoa msaada kwa kikundi hiki, ikiwa ni pamoja na silaha na munioni.

Imedhihirika kwamba serikali ya DRC ilihakikishia FDLR kwamba, licha ya kuahidi huko Washington kuondoa kikundi hicho, hawaendi kutekeleza ahadi hiyo kwa kuwa kikundi hiki kinawapa msaada muhimu katika kupambana na muungano wa AFM/M23, ambao unadhibiti maeneo makubwa katika mikoa ya Kivu Kaskazini na Kivu Kusini.
