Qatar has hosted a second round of talks between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda. Qatari mediators also met separately with representatives of the Rwanda-backed M23 rebel group. DRC President Felix Tshisekedi and his Rwandan counterpart Paul Kagame met last week in Doha for their first talks since M23 stepped up an offensive in the eastern region.#Africa #EyeonAfrica #DRCongo #Rwanda #M23rebels #SouthSudan #Lesotho #SierraLeone #Environment #Ramadan #Tunisia #Algeria #Morocco

Continued thread

The last part of this podcast (transcribed) is an important read on the situation in #Sahel (Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger) #Sudan #SouthSudan etc.

"So, if we take a step back, what we see is not a simple story of anti-imperialist military governments rising against Western domination. Instead, we see a complex, multipolar competition for control over Africa’s resources, with military elites, corporate interests, and foreign states all deeply entangled in the struggle."

South Sudan, the world's newest country, has been battered by war, famine, and floods. Disability rights are particularly ignored, but residents and humanitarian organizations are not giving up.
