Bintou Keita told the Security Council ,“There will be no military solution to this conflict, and that peace can only be restored through lasting political solutions. I therefore express my gratitude and full support for the continued mediation efforts led by Angolan President João Lourenço between the DRC and Rwanda within the framework of the Luanda process. These require the full support of the international community,”
DRC's representative on the Security Council returned to the salient points in response to Rwanda.He said"First of all we have 9 neighboring countries, the nationals are with us, they live there without problem, for what reasons would only the Rwandan speakers be attacked?
We authorized Rwanda to come to our soil to hunt down the FDLR, they carried out operations and they claimed that there was only a residual force left and which no longer constituted a threat.Today, they speak of a threat against their country.We only ask one thing, that he withdraws his military from our country.”
“Neither a military solution nor the fact of considering Rwanda as a scapegoat can constitute a lasting solution to this crisis”, lamented the representative of Rwanda to the UN.
The representative of the DRC to the UN, Zénon Mukongoy further calls on the UN Security Council to define a sanction regime for Rwanda , to sanction anyone involved in this aggression, to demand unconditional withdrawal Rwandan troops from the DRC under penalty of individual or collective sanctions.
On Uganda,The Congolese government says it is concerned by the United Nations report which attests that the Ugandan military (UPDF) supports the M23 rebellion in the war in North Kivu. “We will raise the issue on a diplomatic level,” declared the Minister of Foreign Affairs, International Cooperation .
There is a report too that special forces unit from chad will soon be deployed in eastern DRC to fight the rebels of the M23 , several security sources in the region report.
