The Togolese government is intensifying its mediation role in the ongoing crisis between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda. Acting on behalf of the African Union, Togo aims to bring both parties closer to a peaceful resolution.

On Monday, Prime Minister Faure Gnassingbé chaired a high-level meeting in Lomé with key African mediators. The session focused on strengthening collaboration and aligning strategies for effective diplomacy.

Togo has positioned itself as a neutral facilitator in the regional conflict, seeking to de-escalate tensions that have sparked repeated border clashes and strained bilateral ties.

The Togolese-led mediation is seen as a critical effort in promoting peace and stability in Central and East Africa.
