UN Security Council: Washington Accuses Kigali of Worsening DRC Crisis

The United States' strong condemnation of Rwanda's role in the escalating conflict in eastern DRC, as voiced at the UN Security Council, underscores the international community's growing concern. Washington's demand for an "immediate withdrawal" of Rwandan troops signals a firm stance against actions that violate DRC's sovereignty and territorial integrity. This accusation, reported by outlets like 7sur7.cd and Forum des As, highlights the complex regional dynamics at play. Meanwhile, the DRC's Prime Minister, Judith Suminwa, is actively engaging with international financial institutions in the U.S. to secure support for the nation's economic development. Her focus on water as a strategic resource, as noted by Le Potentiel and ACP, reflects a forward-looking approach to leveraging the DRC's vast natural assets for growth and stability. The dual focus on security and economic development is critical for the DRC's path forward.

We are very disappointed by the fact that Rwanda continues to exacerbate the conflict, which is a direct violation of its obligations under the Washington Agreements. We reaffirm once again the call for an immediate withdrawal of Rwandan troops.
