Скачать или смотреть LIVE: Burundi Closes Border with DR Congo as Rwanda-Backed M23 Takes Uvira; Tump's Peace Deal Fails

The conflict in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is rapidly escalating after the M23 rebels captured the key town of Uvira on Wednesday, shattering a peace deal signed between the DRC and Rwanda just a week prior in Washington. US President Donald Trump had hailed the agreement as a "miracle," but its swift collapse has been labelled a "slap in the face" of Washington by Burundi, which neighbours both nations. Uvira's capture, just 20 kilometres from Burundi's economic capital Bujumbura, is seen by Burundi (which backs the Congolese army) as an existential threat, prompting the closure of its main border posts with the DRC.
