U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Kenyan President William Ruto urged an immediate ceasefire in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo during a phone call, the State Department said on Friday. An advance by Rwanda-backed M23 rebels has marked the gravest escalation in more than a decade of a long-running conflict in eastern Congo, rooted in the spillover of Rwanda's 1994 genocide into Congo and the struggle for control of Congo's vast minerals resources.

The orders are part of Trump's larger efforts to eradicate DEI initiatives, which critics say are discriminatory, from the government and the private sector.

A growing number of prominent companies have scaled back or set aside the diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives that much of corporate America endorsed following the protests that accompanied the Minneapolis police killing of George Floyd, a Black man, in 2020. The changes have come in response to a campaign by conservative activists to target workplace programs in the courts and social media, and more recently, President Donald Trump's executive orders aimed at upending DEI policies in both the federal government and private sector. Critics argue that some education, government and business programs are discriminatory because they single out participants based on factors such as race, gender and sexual orientation.
