Doha peace track gets roadmap for DRC talks

Qatar has brokered a roadmap for the next round of negotiations between the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) government and the Alliance Fleuve Congo/March 23 Movement (AFC/M23), with the first ceasefire verification mission scheduled to take place in Minembwe on Monday. The roadmap emerged from five days of talks in Switzerland that concluded on Friday, under the Doha Framework for a Comprehensive Peace Agreement signed in Doha on November 15, 2025.

The parties welcomed the progress made in establishing the Expanded Joint Verification Mechanism Plus (EJVM+), including the creation of its secretariat, and agreed on the importance of a standardised method for reporting ceasefire violations.
