BORDERLINES

Friday, 4 July 2025 - 54 minutes

In this eye-opening episode of Borderlines, Kambale Musavuli, analyst with the Centre for Research on Congo-Kinshasa, joins Ireti Bakare-Yusuf to dissect the new U.S.-backed peace deal between the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Rwanda.

Far from being a straightforward diplomatic win, Musavuli argues the agreement masks deeper issues of resource exploitation, regional manipulation, and foreign interference.

The episode unpacks the historical context of DRC-Rwanda tensions, the role of the U.S. in shaping Central African politics, and the true cost of so-called peace deals that often benefit external powers more than the people on the ground.

It’s a sharp, well-informed conversation that questions who really wins when global powers broker African peace.
