“The worst maybe it is yet to come,” says the UN chief for human rights, while Dr. Congo and Ruand denies responsibility and guilty to each other.
The United Nations called for efforts to prevent conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to spread throughout the region.
The High Commissioner of the United Human Rights Volker Turk warned on Friday that “the worst may come” while addressing the emergency meeting of the Human Rights Council based in Geneva. However, while calling all sides to help stop violenceDrc and Rwanda continued to deny responsibility, instead accusing each other.
Drc was involved in the crisis from March 23 (M23) rebels and Allied Hulls of Rwanda seized the city Goma last week. Thousands of people have died, and much more is displaced as well as Overtook the parts of the mineral -rich region In the last episode of the decade of overrun in the east of the country.
“If nothing is done, the worst part may come, for the people of Eastern DRC, but also beyond the borders of the country,” Turk warned. “All those who have an impact must act urgently to stop this tragic situation.”
Almost 3,000 people were killed and 2,880 injured since M23 entered Gom on January 26, the UN official said, adding that the actual accident numbers are probably much higher.
Drc invited to a meeting, seeking an emergency investigation into widespread violations of human rights that accuse the M23 rebels supported by M23.
“It is urgent to make international pressure so that Rwanda stops supporting the armed groups and withdraws from the Congolian territory as soon as possible,” said Communication Minister Kinshas Patrick Muyaya.
However, Ambassador Rwanda at the United Nations in Geneva James Nganango rejected that his country was responsible for the conflict.
Instead, he warned that Rwanda herself threatened the attack from the whole border.
“We categorically oppose the attempts of Drc to portray Rwanda as responsible for his instability in the Eastern DRC,” he said.
“What is, however, whether the immediate threat is that the current situation represents Rwanda. After the fall of Goma, new evidence of the immediate, major attack against Rwanda has emerged,” he claimed, referring to the supplies of weapons around the city airport.
Rwanda President Paul Kagama and DRC President Felix Tshisecedi should attend a summit in Tanzania on Saturday, while regional powers are trying to alleviate the crisis.
