Minister of Foreign Affairs Dr Vincent Biruta has deplored and refuted as unfounded the accusations continuously being made by the representatives of the DR Congo government against Rwanda.
At the just-concluded meeting of Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie held in Yaoundé, Cameroon, Biruta took the floor to deplore and refuted accusations made at the same forum by a representative of the DR Congo government. The two-day Francophonie inter-ministerial conference that concluded on November 5 was also attended by OIF Secretary General Louise Mushikiwabo.
Biruta added:"He forgot to tell you that there are more than 200 armed groups in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo, including genocidal armed groups like the FDLR." "Even before the resurgence of this armed group the M23, the government of the Democratic Republic of Congo had decreed a state of siege in the province of North Kivu, and Ituri; that was in May 2021. This means that these problems existed well and truly before the resurgence of the armed group he cited."
