Congolese doctor and 2018 Nobel Peace Prize winner, Denis Mukwege, has expressed fears about the security situation in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, saying President Felix Tshisekedi’s “diplomacy” is contributing to “worsening instability.”
Mukwege was quoted in a statement as saying that the regional diplomacy of the president of the DRC is objectively leading us towards a prolongation and aggravation of the instability” in the provinces of North Kivu and Ituri.
He made the statement after “the announcement of the deployment of the regional force of the Community of East African States (EAC)” in eastern DRC, where more than 100 armed groups are active.
