RWANDAN PROXY WARS IN CONGO

Motion Text

That this House is outraged by reports by the United Nations that Rwanda's Defence Chief, James Kabarebe, is effectively commanding a militia gang, M23, in the Democratic Republic of Congo; recalls that in July 2012 the Netherlands, Germany, US and UK governments suspended direct budget support to the Kagame regime over similar allegations; notes that this is not the first time that Rwanda or Uganda have supported militia gangs in Congo; supports Save the Congo's call on the UK Government to help ensure that those responsible are placed on the UN sanction list; and urges the Government to fully revoke all direct budget support to any government involved in the killing, raping and looting engulfing the Congo.
