In the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, the town of Uvira remains in a state of suspense, still waiting for the peace that former U.S. president Donald Trump promised. Residents express frustration and a feeling of living on borrowed time. The conflict involving AFC/M23 continues to cast a shadow, and local communities see little improvement despite international declarations. Leaders such as Paul Kagame and Félix Tshisekedi remain key figures in the unresolved crisis, but for Uvira, the promised peace feels as distant as ever.
