JAKARTA - US President Donald Trump will host leaders of Congo and Rwanda on Thursday for the signing of a deal aimed at ending the conflict in eastern Congo and opening access to key minerals in the region to the US government and American companies.
The White House called this event a "historic" agreement brokered by Trump dubbed the Peacemaker.
Washington's deal for Peace and Prosperity between President Felix Tshisekedi of Congo and Paul Kagame of Rwanda follows months of peace efforts by the US and its partners, including the African Union and Qatar, and finalizes a previous deal signed in June.
Congo, a country in Central Africa, has been rocked by decades of fighting with more than 100 armed groups, the most powerful being the Rwanda-backed M23 rebels.

Conflicts escalated this year, with M23 capturing key cities in the region, Goma and Bukavu, in unprecedented progress, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis that has become one of the largest in the world with millions of people displaced.
Meanwhile, fighting continued this week in the conflict-torn region with several pockets of clashes reported between the rebels and the Congo army, along with their allied forces.
Trump has often said his mediation has ended the conflict, which some in Congo say is not true.
