Seeing mountain gorillas in the wild is a magical bucket list experience for many travelers to Rwanda, but it hasn’t always been possible. Poachers decimated gorilla numbers in the 1960s and 70s. Then came the Rwandan genocide in 1994. @BBCNews has more on the global success story of mountain gorilla conservation, partly due to the annual celebrations of baby gorillas being born.

How not to report on Eastern Congo

Western media coverage of the DRC conflict is riddled with inaccuracies, oversimplifications, and racial bias—reinforcing dangerous narratives rather than informing the world.

https://africasacountry.com/2025/03/how-not-to-report-on-eastern-congo

"We can have different perspectives on the conflict and opposing theories about the geopolitics of the region, but these should be grounded on verified facts rather than sloppy coverage."

As part of this scramble, in February last year, the EU signed a $900 million deal with Rwanda “to nurture sustainable and resilient value chains for critical raw materials.” Ironically, Rwanda exports more minerals than it does from its own mines. The DRC, the United Nations, and international human rights groups say the bulk of minerals exported by Rwanda are plundered from eastern DRC. Coincidentally, in the immediate aftermath of this EU-Rwanda minerals supply deal, fighting resumed in eastern DRC, peaking in February this year when the Rwanda-backed M-23 rebel group seized control of vast swathes of the area in this mineral-rich part of the country. Rights groups say over 8,500 people have been killed in this attack. Even the EU Parliament has voted for the suspension of the minerals deal until Rwanda stops supporting the M-23 rebels, but the EU is not keen to do so, putting its own interests ahead of the rights of the citizens of the DRC, and human rights in general.
....DRC remains one of the poorest countries in the world.

The presidents of #Rwanda and #DRCongo met for talks hosted by Qatar on Tuesday, a joint statement said, a day after peace talks in Angola failed.

"The heads of state reaffirmed the commitment of all parties to an immediate and unconditional ceasefire" as agreed at an African summit last month, the statement said.
