🇨🇩 DRC minister calls for Rwandan troops to leave country
The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is calling for the immediate withdrawal of Rwandan forces from its territory.
According to Human Rights Minister Chantal Chambu Mwavita the presence of the troops in the country is unnecessary and a violation of their sovereignty.
She noted that attacks by Rwandan troops and the M23 rebel group are worsening the ongoing crisis in the country.
“We simply ask that they go home and leave us alone because we have never had problems with them,” she said. Mwavita further urged the United Nations and other countries to pressure Rwanda to withdraw its forces, to prevent further atrocities from their camp.
