"The benefits of the Washington Accords are profound. For the people of the DRC and of Rwanda, the Accords offer a pathway for lasting peace, improved security, and the opportunity to rebuild communities devastated by decades of violence. For the United States, President Trump designed the Accords to advance American interests in regional stability and promote economic growth that benefits both Americans and the region." -Sarah Troutman, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Central Africa

"...the Washington Accords represent a new chapter. The Accords establish clear commitments from both sides to respect territorial integrity, cease support for armed groups, and cooperate on border security and economic development. The Accords also envision a robust framework for monitoring and implementation, with the United States, Qatar, and the African Union working together to play a central role in future mediation and oversight. We know that peace is fragile and our work does not end with the signing of the Accords. As we move forward, our focus remains on the difficult work of implementation. " -Sarah Troutman, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Central Africa
