Rwanda’s role in the instability of the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo has once again been highlighted by President Félix Tshisekedi. In a joint press conference with his South African counterpart, he accused Rwanda of lying about its aggression in Congo and continuing to deny its involvement in the conflict.
According to Tshisekedi, Rwanda has always presented the situation as an internal problem in Congo, describing the M23 rebels as Congolese who have taken up arms against their country. However, the Congolese president says this is a lie and openly accuses Rwanda of attacking the Congo.
Despite the tensions, Tshisekedi does not close the door on the possibility of negotiating with Rwanda to resolve the situation. However, he points out that the current conditions are not conducive to talks between the two countries.
In addition, the Congolese president criticized the behavior of the East African regional force in the region, while specifying that he does not reject it. He deplores the non-respect of the peace agreements and treaties by the Ugandan and Kenyan contingents, who allegedly had links with the M23 rebels. Discussions are underway with the leaders of the countries concerned to make new arrangements by September.
This accumulation of tensions between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda raises many questions about the impact of the security situation in eastern Congo and the measures to be taken to guarantee stability in the region. It is essential that the two countries find peaceful solutions and engage in discussions to end this complex conflict.
It is important to closely monitor the development of this situation, as it has a direct impact on the security and stability of the Great Lakes region of Africa. Diplomatic efforts and negotiations are necessary to promote peace and cooperation between the two countries. The international community also has a role to play in supporting these initiatives and encouraging dialogue between the parties concerned.
In conclusion, the security situation in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo remains worrying, with Rwanda singled out by President Félix Tshisekedi. Actions must be taken to resolve this conflict and ensure stability in the region
