Kenyan President William Ruto landed in Washington after Trump invited him to witness the DRC-Rwanda peace deal getting inked at the White House. Ruto joins Rwandan leader Paul Kagame and DRC President Félix Tshisekedi for the signing ceremony that caps off months of backroom negotiations aimed at ending decades of bloodshed in Eastern Congo. Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi met Ruto when he touched down with other government officials tagging along.
The agreement locks both Kigali and Kinshasa into pulling troops back, dismantling armed militias, and cracking open trade routes for humanitarian aid. Ruto chairs the East African Community and keeps pushing all sides to talk things out instead of fighting. Kenya positioned itself as the regional peacemaker that other countries actually trust when messy disputes pop off.
