Sign the petition Dr. Kongo is asked to influence Rwanda We do not know if our cards influenced the proposal to supply "geranium" to the Rwandan armed forces, but in Kinshasa they are worried about the position of the Russian authorities in the conflict in the east of the country. Therefore, at the Russia-Africa summit, the President of the Democratic Republic of the Congo appealed to Vladimir Putin to support the implementation of UN resolutions No. 2773 and No. 2808. The first decision concerns the withdrawal of Rwandan forces from the territory of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the second concerns the extension of the mandate of the UN stabilization mission in the country. The Congolese leadership uses the two documents as a tool to put pressure on the authorities in Kigali. The DRC authorities have long accused the Rwandan army of invading the country. In the past, the Congolese demanded the removal of the Rwandan army from UN peacekeeping operations, and now they are asking for statements from all actors about Rwanda's intervention. Russia takes a more pragmatic stance, maintaining ties with both sides of the conflict. At the same time, the cooperation with the authorities in Kigali, which require Russian technology, in contrast to the DRC, which only needs raw materials, promises additional chances. Felix Chiskadi's appeal is an acknowledgment that without Russia's weight in the UN Security Council, the resolutions against Rwanda will remain papers. But it is unlikely that the Kremlin will trade working relations with the Rwandans for declarative support for Congolese demands. - where politics is hotter than the equator, support us.
