President Dr. Kongga Felix Tshiseekeddi is a “strong” response to the M23 rebels in the crowd

Congole President Félix Tshiseekedi vowed to renew the government authority in the East, where the M23 rebels supported M23 seized most of the city of Gom and allegedly progressing in the south to seize multiple territories.

In a television address of the nation, he said that “a strong and coordinated answer” against what he called “terrorists” was underway.

He criticized the international community for “inactivity” and for not doing enough after escalating security crisis.

The average offensive of the rebels promoted warnings on the outpatient humanitarian crisis and growing international pressure to end the crisis.

During the address on Wednesday, Tshisekedi brought together all the Conges to join and support the fight of the military to obtain control.

“Be sure of one: the Democratic Republic of the Congo will not be allowed to be humiliated or demolished. We will fight and we will triumph, “he said.

The fighting has been forced by about 500,000 people from their homes, worsening the already severe humanitarian crisis, according to the UN.

Ever since the fighting started, the city has been cut off from electricity and water and food is in scarce supply.

East African Regional Virtual Summit on Wednesday night convened by Kenya President William Ruto, which tshiseacedi snappedcalled for a “peaceful resolution of conflict.”

Paul Kagama participated in Rwanda, along with the leaders of other Member States Burundi, South Sudan, Tanzania and Somalia.

The heads of the state “strongly called the Government of the DR Congo to directly deal with all stakeholders, including the M23 and other armed groups that have complaints.”

They also invited the joint summit of the block and the leader of the South African regional community (Sadc is “intentionally on the way forward”.

Tshiseekedi paid tribute to Sadac soldiers “fighting with us” and the forces of the UN who died after the rebel attack in the crowd.

Thirteen South African peacekeeping forces were killed in a deadly conflict in the crowd, which enhanced the tension between South Africa and Rwanda.

Kagama said that Rwanda was ready for conflict with South Africa, if necessary, after the request of South Africa Cyril Ramaphos that the M23 and Rwanda forces were responsible for the death.

In a strongly expressed statement that responded directly to Ramaphos to X, Kagama accused him of distorting their private conversations about an unstable situation.

“If South Africa wants to contribute to peaceful solutions, it is good and good, but South Africa is unable to take on the role of peacemaker or mediator. And if South Africa prefers the conflict, Rwanda will deal with this issue in that context every day,” he said.

The exchange indicates a significant escalation of tension between two nations, whose relationship has been fragile for several years.

On Wednesday, Angola invited the leaders of Congo and Ruan to meet urgently to Luanda.

A country that mediated an unsuccessful attempt to talk in December before M23 launched its offensive, also called for a continuation of the discussion under the guidance of Eastern Africa relating to the issue of M23 and other armed groups in Dr. Cong.

It came while Tshiseekedi visited Luada to discuss the following steps in conversations led by Angola.

Both EAC’s and peaceful efforts of Luada have failed to solve the crisis in the past.
