Thank you @SecBlinken for the good meeting. I reiterated Rwanda\u2019s commitment to the regional #Nairobi and #Luanda mechanisms to bring peace and stability to Eastern DRC and the region, and the need for all concerned parties to work towards a political solution to the crisis. https:\/\/t.co\/GDyLEurTf7<\/p>\n

The security situation in the restive east of the country has worsened over the past days, forcing over 100 DR Congo citizens to flee to Rwanda.<\/p>\n

The Congolese refugees who are fleeing their home entered Rwanda through Kabuhanga border post. They are said to have come from the areas of Ruhunda and Buhumba in eastern DRC.<\/p>\n

According to the US State Secretary, the US is deeply concerned about the continued violence, citing the need to take active steps to de-escalate the crisis.<\/p>\n

\u201cI underscored the United States’ deep concern about the continuing violence in eastern DRC, and called on Rwanda to take active steps to facilitate de-escalation,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

During his visit to Kigali nearly three months ago, Blinken said that the US supports mechanisms to find a lasting solution for the conflict-ridden eastern DR Congo, including the Nairobi Process as well as the Luanda Tripartite Summit.<\/p>\n
