The ongoing talks between Rwanda and the DRC in Angola, dubbed the Luanda Peace Process is an important turning point in the efforts to bring peace and security to the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.

Given that the DRC government's animosity toward its neighbors in the East African Community has rendered the Nairobi Peace Process ineffective, it is now necessary for President Tshisekedi's administration to show sincere commitment to the Luanda peace process, led by President Joao Goncalves Lourenco of Angola.
