Following the March 23 movement’s resurgence of violence last week, the British government’s significant worry about the security situation in the African Great Lakes region was stated by James Cariocy, the country’s deputy ambassador to the UN, today, Wednesday.
According to the official website of the British government, Carioca demanded that the violence stop right away and that the March 23 movement leave its current locations. They also urged all parties to respect national sovereignty and the idea of land unity.
“Political and diplomatic measures must take precedence over the use of force, and humanitarian concerns must be given equal weight,” he stated.
Peace in the Great Lakes region will not be brought about by military might alone.
He emphasised the need for meticulous planning, collaboration with the UN Mission to restore peace in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, adherence to international law, and a clear exit strategy before any military action in the eastern DRC.
In order to create stability in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and secure the safety of civilians, he emphasised the importance of cooperation between East Africa and the DRC Armed Forces and the UN Mission. This cooperation would help to defuse the conflict between the two sides.
Given the suffering of approximately 26 million people due to the levels of food insecurity crisis in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the British Deputy Ambassador to the United Nations urged the countries of the region to continue working in close coordination with the government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Monosco to bring the country permanent in the country.
The African Great Lakes region’s deteriorating state is of concern to the UK.
