More than a month after the summit of Heads of State of the East African Community held in Nairobi on 20 June 2022, the Regional Force has still not been deployed. We recall that a deterioration of the situation in the Eastern DRC could have potentially disastrous effects for the entire Great Lakes region. In an already tense and potentially explosive environment, we urged all parties involved in the DRC situation to exercise restraint.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Plus d’un mois apr\u00e8s le sommet des chefs d’\u00c9tat de la Communaut\u00e9 de l’Afrique de l’Est tenu \u00e0 Nairobi le 20 juin 2022, la Force r\u00e9gionale n’a toujours pas \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9ploy\u00e9e. Nous rappelons qu’une d\u00e9t\u00e9rioration de la situation dans l’Est de la RDC pourrait avoir des effets potentiellement d\u00e9sastreux pour toute la r\u00e9gion des Grands Lacs. Dans un environnement d\u00e9j\u00e0 tendu et potentiellement explosif, nous avons exhort\u00e9 toutes les parties impliqu\u00e9es dans la situation en RDC \u00e0 faire preuve de retenue.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The security situation in Eastern DRC continues to deteriorate, worsening the diplomatic tensions between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda, which triggers a potential effect of the crisis on other countries in the region. This is triggered by the proliferation of message of hate speech and fragile social cohesion. This note is meant to urge all parties to act swiftly, to avoid pushing the region into an endless cycle of instability and conflict.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n La situation s\u00e9curitaire dans l’Est de la RDC continue de se d\u00e9t\u00e9riorer, aggravant les tensions diplomatiques entre la R\u00e9publique d\u00e9mocratique du Congo et le Rwanda, ce qui d\u00e9clenche un effet potentiel de la crise sur d’autres pays de la r\u00e9gion. Ceci est d\u00e9clench\u00e9 par la prolif\u00e9ration des messages de discours de haine et la fragile coh\u00e9sion sociale. Cette note vise \u00e0 exhorter toutes les parties \u00e0 agir rapidement, pour \u00e9viter de plonger la r\u00e9gion dans un cycle sans fin d’instabilit\u00e9 et de conflits.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Recent years have seen a spike in\u00a0hate speech\u00a0and violence against Rwandans and Congolese Tutsis in the\u00a0DRC. This note is meant to raise the awareness of all actors working in the Great Lakes region and their partners on the danger of spreading hate messages, and incitement to violence in a region where armed conflict remains a threat. The note calls on all the key players to play a decisive role in putting an end to the messages of hatred and incitement to violence and collectively promote and consolidate social cohesion.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nSituation S\u00e9curitaire \u00e0 l’est de la RDC<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
