The Democratic Republic of Congo has rejected the offer of mediation made by Türkiye to visiting Rwandan President Paul Kagame.

On Saturday, Congolese Vice-Minister of Foreign Affairs Gracia Yamba Kazadi, while receiving the Turkish Ambassador to the DRC, Husun Murat Ulku, said Kinshasa was banking on an “African solution” through the Luanda Process.
