Yesterday, the Government of Democratic Republic of Congo discussed the possibility of suspending all bilateral agreements with Rwanda. This was after an extraordinary meeting of Security Council, which included the Presidents of both the Chambers of Parliament as well as the Heads of National Security.<\/p>\n

\u201cM23 terrorists backed by Rwanda have occupied and pillaged the city of Bunagana in the territory of Rutshuru, province of Nord-Kivu, killing young children and forcing hundreds to flee in terror. The security situation in East Rwanda continues to deteriorate. It is fundamentally because Rwanda seeks a monopoly on our land, rich with gold, coltan, and cobalt for their own exploitation. This is an economic war for the battle of resources, fought by Rwanda\u2019s terrorist gangs.\u201d said President Felix Tshisekedi.<\/p>\n

President Felix Tshisekedi asked all international leaders for support to the DRC. He also urged Paul Kagame, Rwanda’s leader, to end all violence against Congo and recall the military troops that have invaded eastern Congo and caused death, displacement, and war crimes mainly against women.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have the right to demand that our neighbours respect our territory. The people of DRC desire peace and security in their homeland. The brutal attack on our neighbour’s territory in Eastern Congo has left innocents among the Congolese civilians. We ask our international partners in Africa, the US, and especially the UK, to condemn this invasion and to press Rwanda to withdraw its troops. Given the UK\u2019s recent $150 Million immigration deal struck with Rwanda, we hope that Prime Minister Boris Johnson will be able to leverage his influence.\u201d, said President Felix Tshisekedi.<\/p>\n

In his opening speech to Congo\u2019s political representatives and civil society on 9 June, King Philippe of Belgium underlined \u201cthe preservation of the territorial integrity of the Congo is a major concern\u201d shared by Belgium. Alexander De Croo, the Prime Minister of Belgium, also stated during the Royal visit that \u201cEach country has the right to defend the integrity of its territory\u201d and that Belgium was ready to play a role in bringing stability and peace to Eastern Congo, where attacks from the M23 rebel group, backed by Rwanda, have escalated in recent weeks. In May, the United Nations Security Council demanded that foreign armed groups disarm and return to countries. The African Union calls for dialogue.<\/p>\n

The Government of DRC expressed its appreciation for the proposal made yesterday, by President of Kenya, Uhuru Kenyatta to deploy a new regional military force, led by the East African Community, (EAC), in order to maintain peace in the regions targeted by M23\/Rwanda. However they insist that Rwanda will not be accepted in this joint force.<\/p>\n

Paul Kagame (President of the Republic of Rwanda) will host the CHOGM-2022, the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting. The meeting will take place in Kigali, Rwanda, from 20 to 26 June. It has been four years since the bi-annual CHOGM in London and more than a decade since a CHOGM in Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cNext week\u2019s meeting of Commonwealth leaders in Kigali is a prime opportunity for Prime Minister Johnson to lead Rwanda towards the path to peace and stability between neighbours.\u201d urged Prime Minister Sama Lukonde Kyenge.<\/p>\n
