It is possible to get actions in place and achieve peace,\u201d Octa\u0301vio said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSometimes when people have misunderstandings, it&#8217;s not easy to arrive at an understanding but it is possible. We have the hope that we are going to achieve peace in this region,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Amb Octa\u0301vio said that resolutions might have been made during the presidential meetings in Kigali and Kinshasa.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet&#8217;s wait for the solutions of our leaders. Personally, I believe that we are going to have peace.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since April this year, different regional peaceful mechanisms have been established to end the insecurity in eastern Congo, where over 100 armed groups operate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/rwanda\">Rwanda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Rwanda.
