Introduction :
The crisis caused by armed groups in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, particularly the Rwandan-backed M23, continues to wreak havoc. In this perspective, the special envoy of the UN Secretary-General for the Great Lakes region, Huang Xia, met with the Congolese Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defense, Jean-Pierre Bemba, to discuss measures to be taken to resolve this crisis.

A call to action for the international community:

However, it is imperative to mobilize the international community and engage in in-depth reflection to achieve a definitive solution.
