Dr. Laetitia Muadi called for the public silence of the United States, African countries, and the international community following Joseph Kabila's latest statement not to be interpreted as a abandonment of the DRC. She believed that Congolese sovereignty and a possible strategy by the authorities could explain the lack of public statements, and warned against hasty conclusions. Muadi recalled that, in her view, the United States imposed sanctions on Kabila on April 30, 2026, accusing him of supporting the AFC/M23 and contributing to the destabilization of the DRC. She indicated that these measures included freezing assets under U.S. jurisdiction and restrictions on transactions concerning him. She also referred to UN Security Council resolutions 2773 and 2808, which she presented as reaffirming the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the DRC. She described the situation of a former head of state accused of supporting an armed rebellion as serious, while clarifying that the accusations must be substantiated. Muadi called for support for the FARDC and for an effective military and diplomatic strategy to be combined with vigilance, information verification, and national unity. #RDC #Souveraineté #Diplomatie (translated)
