Current events in the Democratic Republic of Congo are marked by important developments on the diplomatic front concerning the security situation in the east of the country. During a special briefing, government spokesperson Patrick Muyaya and Deputy Prime Minister of Foreign Affairs Christophe Lutundula discussed the progress made.
At the heart of this news, tensions between DR Congo and Rwanda have intensified following statements by Paul Kagame criticizing President Félix Tshisekedi. In response, Christophe Lutundula pointed the finger at Kagame’s actions, accusing him of mortgaging the future of the Congolese Tutsis whom he exploits.
Faced with this situation, the Congolese government, under the leadership of Félix Tshisekedi, is working at the diplomatic level to restore peace in the eastern region of the country, marked by aggression from Rwanda via the M23. Lutundula stressed the need for the withdrawal of Rwandan troops, the return of Congolese citizens to their homes and the gradual establishment of state authority in the region.
To facilitate dialogue, the African Union appointed the Angolan President as mediator with Rwanda. Discussions should focus on concrete problems and find lasting solutions to ensure stability and peace in the region.
Finally, government spokesperson Patrick Muyaya pointed the finger at Rwandan President Paul Kagame as being responsible for the conflicts in the sub-region. This situation highlights the importance of negotiations and dialogue to achieve a peaceful resolution of conflicts and enable the socio-economic development of DR Congo.
