Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) have officially signed a bilateral peace agreement aimed at improving security and promoting cooperation along their shared border. The agreement was formalized on May 5, 2025, in Mahagi Territory, located in the Eastern Ituri Province of the DRC.

This landmark agreement is designed to tackle the longstanding issues of insecurity, cross-border crime, and illegal trade activities that have disrupted peace and economic activities in the border districts of both nations. By enhancing joint surveillance and promoting collaboration between local authorities, the deal is expected to ease tensions and facilitate safer cross-border interactions.

The signing ceremony brought together key representatives from both countries. Uganda’s delegation was led by Gen. Taban Amin, Deputy Director General for Special Operations under the Internal Security Organisation (ISO), accompanied by Member of Parliament Catherine Akumu Mavejjina. On the DRC side, Col. Disanoa Laula, the military administrator of Mahagi Territory, represented local leadership.

Col. Laula emphasized the importance of adhering to the commitments outlined in the agreement, stating that it would help foster mutual understanding and open up avenues for increased trade and diplomatic ties. He noted that official documents of the peace accord will be submitted to the leadership of both nations for further coordination and implementation.

Gen. Taban Amin praised the accord as a milestone in regional integration, highlighting the shared values of the East African Community (EAC). He stressed the need to learn from past divisions and work toward a unified future marked by peaceful coexistence, economic growth, and Pan-African solidarity.

“This agreement marks the beginning of a new chapter,” Amin said. “It reaffirms our unity as one people under the EAC and will help curb border-related crimes, including armed robberies and livestock theft, by enforcing joint monitoring and cooperation.”

Local leaders, such as Nebbi Resident District Commissioner Robert Abak, also welcomed the development, calling it a timely initiative that will benefit communities on both sides of the border. Abak pointed out that the two nations have long relied on one another for trade and that strengthening peace will enhance regional prosperity.

The peace agreement is seen as a crucial step in restoring stability and deepening collaboration between Uganda and the DRC, paving the way for a safer and more economically vibrant border region.
