Following the DRC’s presentation, the JSCM held a virtual session with the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the DRC (MONUSCO) to draw on its operational experience conducting DDR in the region. The Governments of the DRC and Rwanda expressed their appreciation to the United States, Qatar, Togo, and the African Union Commission for their support throughout the peace process and agreed to reconvene for the next JSCM on September 16 –17 in Geneva.

Office of the Spokesperson Second Session of the U.S.-Nigeria Joint Working Group to Address Nigeria’s Country of Particular Concern DesignationUnder Secretary of State for Political Affairs Allison Hooker hosted the second Joint Working Group (JWG) with a Nigerian delegation led by Nigerian National Security Advisor Mallam Nuhu Ribadu in Washington on August 12, 2026. The engagement builds on progress made since the first session held in Abuja, Nigeria, on January 22, 2026. Discussions centered on three priority areas: protecting Christian communities in Nigeria’s Middle Belt, holding perpetrators of violence accountable by strengthening judicial and security institutions, and military-to-military cooperation. Under Secretary Hooker and the Nigerian delegation reviewed progress on internally displaced persons’ (IDP) resettlement to their ancestral homes, counterterrorism prosecutions, and combatting the financing of terrorism. The JWG identified continuing challenges, including reports of civilian fatalities and gaps in humanitarian expenditure transparency. Discussions on military-to-military cooperation continue today at the Pentagon. The United States noted Nigeria’s reported efforts to date, including the prosecution of hundreds of Boko Haram and Islamic State-West Africa (ISIS-WA) suspects, expansion of judicial capacity, and recruitment and training of 50,000 additional police officers. Both sides acknowledged that more work lies ahead, particularly with supporting IDPs. The two sides also discussed continued cooperation on countering terrorism financing, biometric information sharing to support accountability measures, and law enforcement capacity building through the Department’s Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) and Bureau of Counterterrorism (CT). Under Secretary Hooker separately met with NSA Ribadu to further advance bilateral priorities and reaffirm the United States’ commitment to working with Nigeria to protect Christian communities and to deepen joint security cooperation.

Office of the Spokesperson Joint Statement from the International Contact Group for the Great Lakes (ICG)The United States, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, the European Union, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, as members of the International Contact Group (ICG) for the Great Lakes region, chaired by France, issued the following statement regarding the disarmament, demobilization, and cantonment protocol signed between the Congolese authorities and the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda-FOCA (FDLR). Begin Text: The ICG takes good note of the announcement made on 28 July by the DRC government, that a faction of the FDLR formally accepted and signed a protocol on their disarmament, demobilization, and cantonment. The ICG urges the Congolese authorities to promptly develop an operational plan and a realistic timeline to implement an effective FDLR neutralization in line with obligations signed in the Washington Agreements and the Disengagement of Forces/Lifting of Defensive Measures of Rwanda (CONOPS) of October 31, 2024, and the Washington agreement of June 27, 2025. The ICG notes the crucial importance that the Congolese Government implements the protocol. It therefore also urges the Congolese government to clarify the mechanisms for combating impunity, as referred to in the protocol, and to work with MONUSCO as a key partner in implementation. The ICG further underscores that any colocation or operational collaboration with elements of the FDLR is fundamentally at odds with the commitments made in the Washington Accords. At the same time, the ICG is ready to welcome any concrete steps forward taken by either the DRC or Rwanda, following commitments made in the framework of the peace process. The ICG urges all parties to the Washington Accords and Doha Framework, as well as the various mediation efforts, including those of the African Union, to continue their efforts to implement the commitments made. The ICG reminds the parties of their obligation to protect civilians, to comply with Security Council resolutions 2773 and 2808, including full respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, and to immediately de-escalate the situation. The ICG also recognizes the prisoner exchange agreement between the DRC and the AFC/M23 as a vital confidence-building measure to de-escalate tension and foster trust between the warring parties. In this regard, the ICG commends the recent transfer facilitated by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) of individuals released by Congolese authorities to AFC/M23, which is a step in the right direction. The group also calls on all parties to honour their obligations to respect international humanitarian law and to guarantee full, safe, and unimpeded humanitarian access in order for essential aid to be delivered to those in need.
