“The summit reiterated its call to all parties to de-escalate tensions,” the communique read.
At the summit, Congo’s President Felix Tshisekedi warned the commander of an East African regional military force deployed in eastern Congo, Jeff Nyagah, a Kenyan, against showing bias toward the rebels.
“Do not favor the M23. It would be a shame for the population to turn on you,” Tshisekedi is seen telling Nyagah in a video tweeted by his spokeswoman, Tina Salama.
“You came to help us and not to have problems. Pay attention to that. Communicate with the population,” Tshisekedi said.
Kenyan President William Ruto was visible standing nearby as Tshisekedi warned the commander. The EAC agreed on a regional force in April last year to be deployed in eastern Congo to help end decades of bloodshed in the area.
Congolese government is embarrassed that rapid progress is being made towards peace by outsiders (Kenyans).
They have now incited the population to riot.
I bet some in govt are profiting from the insecurity situation in Eastern Congo
