A conflict began between the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Rwanda in 2022 after Rwandan forces intervened in the DRC to provide military support to the March 23 Movement (M23) rebel group, including fighting alongside them against the Congolese military (FARDC) and pro-government militias. A peace agreement between Rwanda and the DRC was signed on 27 June 2025, though fighting has continued and Rwandan troops remain in the DRC.
