The UN now say that the peace deal is not being respected. They have further warned of a dire humanitarian situation in the Congo due to the ongoing conflict
Their great ceasefire is not being respected. After a brief lull, the parties with the conflict have strengthened their positions and resumed military operations
The humanitarian situation remains catastrophic. Meanwhile, the two countries maintained a strong stance
DRC said the Guinea agreement entailed some non-negotiable pacts. The secession of hostilities the withdrawal of Rwandan troops the end of their support for the M23 and the restoration of Congolese state authority over all occupied areas constitute non conditions for genuine peace Mr President with regards to the illegal exploitation of the country natural resources
my government reiterates its call for the establishment of a mechanism similar to the Kimberley process

All I'm doing here, distinguished members of the council, is to reiterate that there is an agreement between our two countries that we made within our sovereign competencies
helped by the United States, and Qatar continues to help, the African Union continues to help
We need your support. And we need you to give us the chance to implement the agreement as it is
and in order to intervene in a way that may complicate that process or create deviations
