STORYLINE
In his address to the General Assembly’s General Debate, the President of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Felix Tshisekedi, today (20 Sep) said the "phased withdrawal of MONUSCO is a necessary stage to consolidate progress” that the country has already achieved.
Tshisekedi said, "African peoples often don't understand the equivocal attitude, the double standards at work, the ambiguities, and procrastination of our Organization, especially the Security Council in certain political and security crises, which are rampaging through Africa and sometimes have rampaged there for decades.”
He said, “following a presence of more than two decades by the UN, it's time for my country to fully take its destiny in hand and to become the main protagonist of its own stability.”
Tshisekedi expressed gratitude to the international community and to the United Nations “for their support and their partnership.”
He said it was “illusory and counterproductive to continue to cling to maintaining MONUSCO to reestablish peace in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and to stabilize it.”
Furthermore, he added, “the accelerated withdrawal of MONUSCO is absolutely necessary to ease the tensions between MONUSCO and our citizens.”
The United Nations Mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo (MONUC) was established in 1966 and renamed as the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO) in 2010.
