UN's Swan and Huang Xia Meet Kagame in Kigali on Eastern DRC Security

MONUSCO chief James Swan, who succeeded Bintou Keita in April 2026, and UN Great Lakes envoy Huang Xia met Rwandan President Paul Kagame in Kigali as part of a regional tour, a day after meeting Rwandan Foreign Minister Olivier Nduhungirehe, who said 81 people MONUSCO repatriated as ex-FDLR combatants were later found to be Congolese civilians. Swan is due to brief the UN Security Council ahead of MONUSCO's December 2026 mandate renewal.
