At least 7000 died in Congo this year, says the premiere of the country for the UN Human Rights Council
About 7,000 people died since January in the fight in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, the Drc Prime Minister said on Monday at a high meeting of the Geneva Human Rights Council, and among the dead are fighters and civilians.
About 3,000 deaths were recorded in the crowd, Judith Suminwa said.
Since January, M23 Rebel Group, which Kinshas accuses Rwanda for support, has captured Swathas from Eastern Kong, including the cities of Gom and Bukava, and valuable minerals.
The last struggle and progress of the M23 are part of the great escalation in Eastern Congo in a conflict over the power, identity and resources dating from the 1990s of Rwandan genocide.
UN chief Antonio Guterres, at a meeting in Geneva, said that human rights around the world were “stifled” and that they went to scary abuse in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The allegations of “concise executions”
Rwanda rejects the allegations from the Congo, the United Nations and the Western forces to support the rebels with M23 with weapons and trunk.
Suminwa called the world to act and impose “disgusting sanctions” of Rwanda in the midst of mass shifts and abstracts.
“It is impossible to describe the screams and screams of millions of victims of this conflict,” she said.
Cambaale Musavuli, analyst based in Gani with Congo-Kinshas Center, said on Sunday, CBC News Network that “Every day we get reports on concise executions of the young Congole who refuse to join [M23]. “
Musavuli said that a diplomatic situation is needed and that the international community has a stake in what is happening.
“[Prime Minister Justin] Trudeau should be engaged in this process, holding Canadian companies responsible for resources in Congo, “he said.
In Brussels, the head of EU Foreign Policy Kaja Kallas said that the EU would review its agreement with Rwand because of critical raw materials for ties with the M23 rebels in DrC.
US MINISTRY CLAGE LAST WEEKS Lawrence Kanyuka Kingston, M23 spokesman, but also James Kabarebe, a state minister in Rwanda for regional integration. Now they state that the cabareba connection is m23 that “orchestrates [Rwandan Defence Forces] Support for the armed group. “
The Rwanda government announced that the cabarebus sanction considered “unjustified and unfounded”.
Burundi deals with the Congoon approach
Suminwa warned that a deteriorating security situation with M23 and other armed groups could shed into neighboring countries, presenting a danger to them.
“If this issue of territorial integrity violations have not been resolved, the situation could be degenerated,” Suminwa Reuters told Journalists after her address to the Council.
Brigitte Mukango-Eno, a UNHCR representative, spoke earlier this month about the flow of people in Burundi from the neighboring Kong, where she is a rebel group M23, which Kinshas accuses Ruannd of support-she has been seized by Swaths of the country.
