Tens of thousands protest violence in eastern regions of the Democratic Republic of Congo, as church leaders accuse the West of hypocrisy over Rwanda's alleged role in the fighting
Demonstrators in Kinshasa sang and carried banners reading:"No to balkanisation, no to the hypocrisy of the international community. The DRC is not for sale."
"We say no to war, no to a divided Congo," said Blaise Emmanuel, vicar at St. Elizabeth's parish, who with other priests led a procession in Montgafula, one of the poorest communes in Kinshasa. Many in Congo have for years accused the West of failing to hold Rwanda to account for its alleged role in stoking insecurity in the east.
"It is the small country that is fighting us," said Father Theophile Landu in reference to Rwanda. "Behind it are the United States and the European Union. We tell them that they must stop the hypocrisy."
