Despite the Washington Accords, the DRC has not implemented its commitments, with continued attacks, torture, and other abuses against civilians and cooperation with the FDLR and integration of its members into the FARDC.

🚨An Open Letter on Accountability, Regional Security, and Enforcing the Washington and Doha Accords To: President Donald Trump, Secretary Marco Rubio, Envoy Massad Boulos, The European Union Commission, The State of Qatar, RE: Sanction Kinshasa and its Allies for Violating the Washington and Doha Accords. Excellencies and Partners in Peace, We address you at a critical turning point for the African Great Lakes region. For decades,the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has suffered from an unremitting cycle of instability and severe violence. Hope emerged when your leadership brought about historic diplomatic frameworks: the Washington Peace Agreement and the Doha processes. These agreements were binding commitments designed to address root causes of conflict. Central to these was the absolute obligation for Kinshasa to disarm, dismantle, and sever all ties with the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR), a militant group driven by a genocidal ideology whose members participated in the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. More than a year has elapsed since the Washington Accords, yet Kinshasa's pledges remain unfulfilled. Instead of acting in good faith to eliminate the FDLR within the established 90-day window, the DRC government has pursued defiance and evasion. Current intelligence and on-the-ground verifications highlight a troubling reality: 🔖Active Collusion with the FARDC: There is no genuine separation between the Congolese armed forces (FARDC) and the FDLR. Militants continue to function side-by-side with state forces, expanding tactical positions across North and South Kivu. 🔖Deceptive Maneuvers: Rather than disbanding this genocidal movement, Kinshasa has engaged in clandestine accommodations to rebrand their public image and integrate a terrorist entity into a political movement. 🔖Unchallenged Impunity: Shielded by DRC authorities, FDLR leadership operates without fear, confident that Kinshasa will protect them from accountability under the U.S.-backed CONOPS blueprint. Diplomacy devoid of enforcement is an open invitation to ongoing aggression. When a signatory government breaches peace treaties, delays timelines, and harbors genocidal groups, dialogue becomes complicit behavior. The era of indefinite patience has concluded. The United States, Qatar, and the European Union dedicated substantial political capital to secure these peace tracks. Permitting Kinshasa to treat these treaties with disregard undermines international credibility and leaves vulnerable civilians exposed to continuous hardship. Consequently, we urgently call upon the U.S. administration, Secretary Rubio, Mr. Boulos, the EU Commission, and Qatar to implement firm, punitive measures: 🔖Enact Targeted Sanctions: Apply robust financial, travel, and economic restrictions against Congolese political figures, military officials, and allied actors who support, fund, or harbor the FDLR in violation of the Washington and Doha Accords. 🔖Reject the Rehabilitation of Terror: Formally condemn and dismiss any backchannel deals between Kinshasa and the FDLR aimed at legitimizing or integrating a genocidal faction under the guise of civilian reintegration programs. 🔖Mandate Compliance with CONOPS: Require the immediate execution of the agreed-upon Concept of Operations (CONOPS) to permanently dismantle the FDLR, backed by rigorous oversight mechanisms. 🔖Hold Regional Partners Accountable: Make all future international financial and diplomatic assistance to the DRC conditional upon verifiable proof of a complete severance of all relationships with non-state armed militias and terrorist elements. The structural blueprint for peace is established. What has been absent is political resolve from Kinshasa, coupled with decisive international enforcement, to compel full compliance. The time to act is now. Donald J. Trump Department of State U.S. Senior Advisor for Arab and African Affairs Marco Rubio JD Vance European Commission Ursula von der Leyen Ministry of Foreign Affairs - Qatar Sincerely,
