When Donald Trump boasts(吹嘘，夸耀) about all the wars he has supposedly(据称， supposedly) ended, he often mentions one in central Africa. In December he brought together the leaders of Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, whose on-again, off-again conflict has been one of the continent’s bloodiest, and persuaded them to sign a peace deal called the Washington Accords.(去年12月，他把卢旺达和刚果民主共和国的领导人召集在一起，这两个国家时断时续的冲突是非洲大陆最血腥的冲突之一，并说服他们签署了一项名为《华盛顿协议》的和平协议。) “They’ve spent a lot of time killing each other and they’re going to spend a lot of time hugging,” he said.
当唐纳德·特朗普吹嘘他据称已经结束的所有战争时，他常常提到中非的一场战争。去年12月，他把卢旺达和刚果民主共和国的领导人召集在一起，这两个国家时断时续的冲突是非洲大陆最血腥的冲突之一，并说服他们签署了一项名为《华盛顿协议》的和平协议。“他们花了很多时间互相杀戮，接下来将花很多时间拥抱，”他说。
But there is still a lot more killing than hugging. Most of the 8m or so Congolese who have fled(逃离（过去式）) from their homes are too scared to return(害怕得不敢返回). Over the past year the battlefield has expanded in the eastern Congolese provinces of South and North Kivu, leading to hundreds more civilian(平民，百姓) deaths. As we report, M23, a Rwandan-backed rebel group that controls most of the region, is building a statelet there and is eager to cut its own deals(达成自己的交易) with America.
但杀戮仍然远多于拥抱。大约800万逃离家园的刚果人中，大多数害怕得要命，不敢返回。过去一年，战场在刚果东部南基伍省和北基伍省扩大，导致数百名平民死亡。据我们报道，M23——一个得到卢旺达支持、控制该地区大部分地区的反叛组织——正在那里建设一个微型国家，并渴望与美国达成自己的交易。
To its credit, the Trump administration has tried to enforce the Washington Accords. In March it put sanctions(制裁) on Rwanda’s armed forces to try to persuade Paul Kagame, Rwanda’s president, to reduce support for M23. Yet it seems unwilling to exert(施加，运用) similar pressure on his Congolese counterpart, Félix Tshisekedi. Many locals fear that Mr Trump cares more about getting his hands on Congo’s abundant minerals than he does about peace.(许多当地人担心，特朗普先生更关心的是获取刚果丰富的矿产，而非和平。)
值得肯定的是，特朗普政府已努力执行《华盛顿协议》。三月，它对卢旺达武装部队实施制裁，试图说服卢旺达总统保罗·卡加梅减少对M23的支持。然而，它似乎不愿对刚果总统费利克斯·齐塞克迪施加类似压力。许多当地人担心，特朗普先生更关心的是获取刚果丰富的矿产，而非和平。
