DR Congo: ‘It’s getting worse and it requires international attention’ • FRANCE 24 English

UN chief Antonio Guterres on February 15 demanded the Democratic Republic of Congo’s ‘territorial integrity’ be respected and a regional war avoided, at an African summit the day after Rwandan-backed fighters seized a second DRC provincial capital. ‘The UN Secretary-General at the African Union summit yesterday warned about the potential for a regional conflict to break out and its humanitarian impact. He’s absolutely right—this is alarming, it’s getting worse, and it requires international attention, as well as regional and continental action’, our guest Dr. Alex Vines, Head of the Africa Programme at Chatham House, said.

  1. Chartham house that is destroying Nigeria. Bunch of cowards that pry on the weakness of individuals and impose them on the people just to gain their own.

  2. So as these white-guys are implying the UN only weighs in when the situation matter fits their agenda,othereise it's not their fight,for instance the Rwandan genocide 1994 the UN did bot bother to intervene when over million tutsis were massacre and exterminated, elsewhere what's going in Gaza does not bother them, because it's also not their fight,but DRC is a point of interest for them because of the business of minerals and so on they are involved.its all obvious and nothing is secret.

  3. Paul Kagame could not have launched this war at a better time, just when Europe is paralyzed like a rabbit in the headlights by Trump/Vance and while Trump/Vance have made clear the only people on the African continent they care about are the white population of South Africa.

  4. Its not getting worse its getting better. The last thing the DRC wants is more international intervention. MONUSCO has been there for 25 years already.

  5. Pressure on Rwanda and sanctions on Rwanda, Why can't you talk about Congo and it's problem, Less of DRC, less of M23 but much about Rwanda 🤣 so ludicrous

  6. The fact that nobody talks about the forbidden book called The Gilded Nexus of Prosperity speaks volumes about how people are stuck in a trance

  7. The biggest offence in Europe is not routing it's doing mercenary work, I haven't seen you talk about Romanian Nato mercenaries that were defeated by m23.

  8. This reporter is bribed by DRC only talking about kisekedi propaganda.

    M23 are fighting for their right, their families are in refugee camps.

  9. Let the leaders of Africa solve their problems it is not an international issue it is all about greed. How can two people share something yet one did not get yet when the person complains you say let us kill all of them better tell the congo leader to go and negotiate with his fellow country men who he intends to wipe out. Wicket leader with greedy mind.

  10. Contradictions , this guys said rwandan mercenaries defeated by m23 .

    I though m23 was backed by rwanda.

    The reporter can't even pronounce bukavu. Leave it mate

  11. European & Western Countries calling foul after funding the aggressor Rwanda is pure hypocrisy.
    They are pissed that the Chinese control most of the mines in Eastern-DRC
    M23 was defeated with one phone call and sanction of DONOR DEPENDED Rwanda.
    Not going to work this time.
    Trump does not care. Rwanda has deep pockets now. The EU & the British wired millions and with the seized coltan they will have steady cash flow.
    So what could work:
    1. Sanctions – targeted- on Rwanda.
    2. Embargo on Rwandan declared minerals de facto looted in DRC [Highly unlikely]
    3. Robust mandat of regional forces.

  12. Do Africans recognize the hypocrisy of imperialists? The way the media representative and the analyst pushed their own narrative—completely detached from reality—is truly frustrating. Africans, and all peace-loving individuals, should reject these so-called international media outlets

  13. We don't need your attention you are hypocrites, you are the cause of all this you can't say you came back to solve it, you are only trouble makers

  14. M 23 is a Congolese movement fighting for their own survival in Congo as other communities,
    Involving other countries is a distractive propaganda so that Kinshasa regime is not accountable for the atrocities being done on Tutsi communities in the Eastern Congo.

  15. DRC doesn’t need any western intervention
    They need a leadership that is caring and accountable
    By the way @france24, why don’t you talk about the joy of the people of Bukavu as they welcome M23?
    And why do you point your biaised fingers on Rwanda, while you don’t say a word about the very government of DRC in Kinshasa?

  16. @France24, that Dr reporter’s of yours is a complete fraud, he knows what he thinks but he is completely out of touch with what is really happening . Please chooses between being channels for the expression of opinion or a channel that reports facts

  17. Why was the DRC under an arms embargo that was only lifted last year after President Tshisekedi applied pressure? The answer is simple: it was meant to weaken the Congolese army, allowing Rwanda to plunder Congolese resources for Western capitals. This is part of a larger international plot involving powerful multinationals and states, backed by some corrupt media outlets. However, they will not succeed, because President Tshisekedi is quite something and a determined leader, and the global population has had enough of these injustices. Stay tuned to witness the resilience of a people fighting for a noble cause!

  18. Whites remove ur nose and ur attention to Africa because you are the cause of all these incidents you will always lie because of ur selfish reasons why is UN doing in Congo is there any positive impact have they ever done we know the truth just leave Africa alone see what u have done in sahel u have enough problems in Europe leave Africa

  19. You will never see anyone talking about Europeans being the reason why all is happening i don't know why what's ate whites doing in congo mines

  20. MONUSCO is only there. for bribes

    It’s only stops with the end of Kigali dominance

    Kagame intends to fight to the world’s end
