African Union Leads Peace Process in Eastern DRC with Qatar and US Support
What happened
The African Union is leading a comprehensive peace process in Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. Qatar has participated in coordination meetings to develop an implementation plan for this process. Furthermore, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the M23-led rebel alliance agreed to a peace roadmap under a Qatar-mediated framework.

Washington noted that a UN framework could provide a tool for financing AU-led peace operations, which could strengthen the African Union's role in conflict resolution.
