The African Union warns against the territorial division of the DRC following M23’s advances in the eastern region. Bankole Adeoye emphasizes the need to respect DRC’s sovereignty and calls for the removal of M23. UN Secretary-General Guterres also stresses the importance of preventing regional escalation.
The African Union expressed grave concerns on Sunday regarding the potential division of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). This warning came two days after the Rwandan-backed M23 group captured its second city in the eastern DRC. The AU’s Peace and Security Commissioner, Bankole Adeoye, urged for action against M23, emphasizing the necessity of maintaining DRC’s territorial integrity.
The African Union is strongly advocating for the preservation of the Democratic Republic of Congo’s unity and territorial integrity amid escalating violence from the M23 group. The international community must prioritize diplomatic efforts to prevent further destabilization in the region and uphold the DRC’s sovereignty.
