Angola says it has secured a new ceasefire deal in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, signalling renewed diplomatic efforts to stop fighting and a long-running war of words between Kinshasa and Kigali.

The decision was arrived at on July 30 in Luanda, the Angolan capital, where top diplomats from Rwanda and the DRC had gathered on the invitation of their host, Angola.
