Speaking in the House of Lords on 25 February 2025

Debate

Democratic Republic of the Congo: M23 Group

Contribution

My Lords, my right honourable friend the Foreign Secretary warned that the conflict in the DRC “risks spiralling into a regional conflict”. It is already a humanitarian crisis, with 40,000 refugees fleeing to Burundi alone—the largest influx that country has had in 25 years. Are we contributing to the UNHCR’s $40.4 million appeal to provide life-saving assistance to 275,000 internally displaced people in the DRC and to support refugees and returnees across Burundi, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia?
