International support for Angola's peace process
The so-called "International Contact Group for the Great Lakes Region" politically — and indirectly financially — supported the Luanda process. Its members include representatives from Germany, Denmark, Belgium, the European Union, France, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, the US and the UK.
This group has stated that the Luanda process must continue. It also demands that the M23 and Rwanda's armed forces cease their offensive, grant humanitarian workers access to Goma, and withdraw. Additionally, Western countries aim to assist in economically rebuilding the resource-rich area.
The goal is to transport the region's resources via new trade routes, such as the Lobito Corridor through DR Congo, Zambia and Angola, funded by Europe and the US. According to the International Contact Group's plan, the proceeds from the mineral trade should eventually foster prosperity and peace in the region.
