Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) last week launched a joint monitoring mechanism in a bid to tame a vicious cycle of violence, that continued even as both sides pledged to back a peace path.
The new platform is known as Mécanisme de Vérification Ad-hoc Renforcé (MVA-R) and was launched on Tuesday in Goma in North Kivu in the eastern.
