This decision follows the announcement on Friday by the former president of the Céni of the creation of the anti-Tshisekedi political-military alliance, which includes several armed groups, including the M23. The Congolese authorities are demanding explanations from Kenya for allowing the announcement of the creation of this political-military platform on their territory. Which, according to Kinshasa, implies Kenyan support for the rebels.

In the absence of the head of Congolese diplomacy, it was his colleague from the interior and security sector who heard the Kenyan ambassador stationed in Kinshasa.

The head of MONUSCO, the mission ofU.N. in the Democratic Republic of Congo said it was “extremely concerned” about the creation of a new political-military platform. Bintou Keita calls on Corneille Nangaa and his people to “refrain from any act of violence likely to destabilize the Democratic Republic of Congo.”
