The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) President Félix Tshisekedi and his Rwandan counterpart Paul Kagame have both agreed, or at least publicly pledged, to meet and discuss how to end war in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
But then, they accuse one another of being the problem to those very efforts to end the conflict that has raged Eastern DRC for the last 30 years, but most recently centred on their tensions.
