A new report by the United Nations Group of Experts exposing the Kinshasa regime's continued reliance on the FDLR genocidal militia as a proxy force in the fight against the M23 rebels in eastern DR Congo is as troubling as unsurprising.
A new report by the United Nations Group of Experts exposing the Kinshasa regime's continued reliance on the FDLR genocidal militia as a proxy force in the fight against the M23 rebels in eastern DR Congo is as troubling as unsurprising.
This blatant disregard for international sanctions against the FDLR also exposes Kinshasa's unserious approach to the Luanda peace process, a regional initiative aimed at de-escalating tensions that has since stalled. Turning a blind eye to the use of the FDLR not only condones past atrocities but also risks emboldening perpetrators. The international community must send a strong message: there is no tolerance for proxy wars fueled by genocidal militias.The people of the eastern DRC deserve lasting peace. The path forward is clear: the Kinshasa government must abandon its use of the FDLR, and the international community must hold it accountable for its actions.
