Tibor Nagy Wants the US to Also Sanction Kinshasa, Which Has “Its Own Armed Groups”; Thérèse Kayikwamba Says the Situations Are Not Comparable

The United States sanctioned Rwanda’s Defense Ministry and Zigama Credit and Savings Society over alleged support for the M23 and its political wing, AFC, in eastern DR Congo. Tibor Nagy, a former US assistant secretary of state for African affairs, urged Washington to sanction all troublemakers, claiming that Félix Tshisekedi’s government also has armed groups that threaten Rwanda. Congolese Foreign Minister Thérèse Kayikwamba Wagner rejected the comparison, saying that a real or perceived threat cannot be equated with the thousands of deaths and millions of displaced people in the DRC.
