President Felix Tshisekedi of the Democratic Republic of Congo condemned Rwanda's long-standing aggressive actions during the Munich Security Conference, highlighting the severe humanitarian impact on Congolese citizens. He warned that inaction from the international community could lead to wider regional instability. Experts at the conference echoed his concerns but pushed for local solutions, emphasizing the need for conflict parties to engage with one another. Tshisekedi's speech poignantly reflected the suffering of his people and called for urgent international intervention to avoid complicity in the ongoing conflict’s consequences.
"These men, women and children whose tears have bathed the soul of our country deserve more than a simple mention in international debates... history is watching us."
"If the world allows a country's borders to be violated in Africa by force, who will be next?"
"We see more and more suffering for civilians because of the protracted nature of these wars. We need to start at the local level..."
"Do not be complicit in the silence, if we leave things to develop, then that will have repercussions well beyond the borders of the Democratic Republic of Congo."
