r c. and his pursuit of safeguarding its independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well as sustainable peace, security and development. according to the latest estimates from the united nations, at least 700 people have been killed and almost 3000 injured since the conflict escalated in the d r. c. last weekend. just a warning you might find the following images distressing. here you can see bodies lining the streets as armor vehicles roll into the embattled city of goma, which has been taken under full control by the m 23 groups. the militants are now reported. lee, moving to another eastern city will cover and have floods to reach the country's capital. can shasta, the d. r. c. government has called the take over a declaration of war. well, blaming rolanda for backing the m. 23. we've got an emotional account from a local woman whose family was impacted. so that's why the muscles child, when i saw that she was dead, i said, lord, what am i going to do? the some 23 will came for

you can always come as a company to open activities in the d, r c. and you will have minerals that you are looking for, for one that has imposed on us the war in the d r c for decades. so people are forced to move all the time today in the east of the d. r. c. the situation is catastrophic. and we must deal deeper on this issue to limit the damage arena. abram of africa institute director at the russian academy of sciences says both ethnic disputes, any interest, a big business are provoking the complex. the best way to have conflict cuts out is just press quotes and there's the conflict that is currently taking place between the d. r. c and rolanda clearly has its deep ethnic roots. but you must understand that initially these are just the consequences of colonialism under which even state borders were simply drawn with a ruler. so are western elite now explaining this conflict, of course they are and why, what is it all about? the d r c is one of the most impoverished countries in africa, but actually the richest in terms of natural resources, which al

the see for the past 30 years were supported on the, on to 10 to buy a different government in d, r c, and the one now embedded into the army. so what requests the d r c is to neutralize at the moment as provided by the concept of operations that we agreed on between d, r c. and even deflection fit to unblocked on the 25th of november last year. and then the 2nd action is related to that movement of the m $23.00, which is the commodities moment defending our communities community overall under descent. and for that the d. c needs to engage into direct thoughts in order to solve the issues raised by these community. all right, now president kick. i'm a has also demanded that the d r c. recognize local people's rights. can you help clarify what specific rights you believe the d r c. must recognize, to resolve the ongoing tensions and how do rolanda planned to facilitate this recognition? yes, we have in this to, in the r c, a community both over one that the culture and the run the language. actually we have a senior community and so that besides the wisdom you've done them, but this is not

r c, and you will have minerals that you are looking for for wanda has imposed on us the war in the d r. c for decades. so people are forced to move all the time. today in the east of the d. r. c. the situation is catastrophic. and we must delve deeper on this issue to limit the damage. we also got reaction and assessment from a professor of international relations in the d. r. c. capital of the situation in the east of the dear seas difficult assume foreign power. so using one to, to make demands the drum counter toward the population. once in the cutting circumstances, it is difficult even for the you when to find the real solution. since in addition to one lunch you and member stage 2 or 3 more behind all this very in lies the complexity of the problem. the united states supports the one to know me from a technical point of view and even supplies weapons. for example, a lawsuit is currently underway between apple and the government of the d. c. how to stop or get supplies from one to it means that there are technical specialist of the american special services. and depending on who

r c. recognize local people's rights. can you help clarify what specific rights you believe the d r c must recognize to resolve the ongoing tensions and how do 01 to plan to facilitate this recognition? yes, we have in this to, in the r c, a community, both going to the people who are the one that the culture and the run the language . actually we have a single community. and so that besides the wisdom you've done, but this is not the fault of the season or the 4th of the one that is the 4th of the colonial part, was that decided that the 19101911 in brussels to artificially drilled the borders between uganda dwanda and d r c. and then we have on the other side of the border of people over one done so to on the heritage. but while in the sullivan uganda that community was fully integrated and for the citizens eastern d r. c. that's one. that's why the other kids there was never organize those as a communities. they were marginalized, a persecuted against, and the victims as we speak of a head speech. so now to solve this problem, there is a need for a download. but as i was saying shortly, direct thoughts between the us, the governmen

the original and security has also jeopardize the libido transport quarter, which connects to the r c, zambia, and angle at the global markets. what future do you see for this quarter? if the d r c fails to restore peace on its terran territory anytime soon? i as well or the future where use really the jo present jeopardize because the effect that uh uh, is, is the basis of that according to, is really to principle it minerals from the se, through the end goal to, to western markets. so if, if, if that's the route is insecure, then it really affects the, the viability economic viability of the project itself. and it might distract or might cause some of the commitments that were made for investment in this, in this product to be withdrawn because the trade really trade and investments depends upon a peaceful uh, peaceful uh, environment. and so i said that is missing really visual. there is no way in which this project might be comically viable for receive the investment investment budget that it has been promised from the various, the interested parties that they receive, the preside

you can always come as a company to open activities in the d r c. and you will have minerals that you are looking for for wanda has imposed on us the war in the d r c for decades. so people are forced to move all the time to do.

sticking to issues in this conflict is the 2nd up, the b r c is being a 2 side, one, the supporting a rebel group which is fighting against run and run the b r. c is also teasing the d i. c for supporting a rebel who, which is fighting produced it's covered. and so that the tensions exacerbated because most effective, both, both the main protectiveness to this in the struggle with supporting a rebel groups. the fighting against the government. is there a room for you and seems to be um it's, it's kind of on the criticism from the, the, the government because of these feelings that there's not enough is being done. there's a lot of talk, but not peacefully enough affection, for example, recently the us which is edge of the various parties to find a solution without providing any uh, any fixing to, to the, to the, to the plants, to the different brands. b, r. so the r c is really a very rich region, as it has for 71 percent of the world's cobalt production of 25 percent of the of goals global colton. reserves come from the d, r c and uh, the, the mineral wells. most of the r cds uh estimated to be uh with $24000000000.00 for when,

that's beside the 19101911 in brussels, artificially drilled, the photos between uganda, dwanda and d r c. and then we have on the other side of the border of people over one done so to and everything. but while in the sullivan uganda, that community was 40 integrated and formed a citizen nathan, d r c, that's one that was another kid. so there was never organize all of the properties that were marginalized, a persecuted against under the victims as we speak of overhead speech. so now to solve this problem, there is a need for a battle, as i was saying, shortly, direct thoughts between the us, the government. on that moment, you know that to find a solution was on for to the grievances of these community. in nigeria, as british dodge and the desired shell. and now is, is yet another, or spill in the country, local outrages itself, spilling over the west african nations. oh, golly community has been fighting a legal battle against the u. k. base multinational for decades. the stop the devastating produce any claims is caused by the companies extraction activities. it is believed that the latest

r. c. recognize local people's rights. can you help clarify what specific rights you believe the d r. c must recognize to resolve the ongoing pensions and how does rwanda planned to facilitate this recognition? we have in this on the r c. a community both come over one, the culture and the one the language. actually we have a senior community and so that besides the wisdom you've done, but this is not the fault of the r c, it's not the fault of, uh, the one that is the fault of the colonial part was that decided that the 19101911 in brussels to buy to officially draw the boat does between uganda dwanda and d r c. and then we have on the other side of the boat, the people over one done gotcha. and the heritage. but why look in the sullivan? uganda. that community was for the integrated and for the citizens eastern d r c. that's one of that was another case. there was never organize us as of commodities that were marginalized, persecuted against, and the victim as we speak of a head speech. so now to solve this problem, there is a need for a dialogue, as i was saying shortly, direct thoughts between deals to government. and that moment em

the minister of foreign affairs and international cooperation of lawanda olivia and don't give a he says that the d r. c must address the grievances of all the different communities in eastern did east and congo who was separated by artificial board as drawn by colonial powers. that we have the interest on the r c, a community college over one that the culture and the run the language. actually we have a senior community and so so the wisdom you've done, but this is not the 4th of the season. on the 4th of the one that is affordable, the colonial part was that decided that the 19101911 in brussels, artificially drilled the borders between uganda, dwanda and d r c. and then we have on the other side of the border of people over one done so to on the heritage. but while in the sullivan uganda, that community was for the integrated and for citizens eastern new york. that's one that was another kid. so there was never organize all of the committees that were marginalized, a persecuted against, and the victims as we speak of overhead speech. so now to solve this problem, there is a need for a battle, as i wa

can you help clarify what specific rights you believe the d r c must recognize to resolve the ongoing tensions and how does rolanda planned to facilitate this recognition? we have in this, in the r c. a community both can go over one that a culture on the run, the language actually we have a senior community and so that besides the wisdom you've done, but this is not the 4th of the season or the 4th of the one that is the 4th of the colonial part was that decided that the 19101911 in brussels to artificially drilled the borders between uganda, dwanda and d r c. and then we have on the other side of the border of people over one done so to under heritage. but while in the sullivan uganda, that community was fully integrated and for the citizens eastern d r. c. that's one. that's was another case. there was never organize us as a commodities that would marginalized persecuted against and the victim as we speak of overhead speech. so now to solve this problem, there is a need for a demo. as i was saying, shortly, direct talks between deals, the government on that moment email that to find a solution

r c. and it's pursuit of safeguarding its independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well as sustainable peace, security and development. according to the latest estimates, this is from the united nations. at least 700 people have been killed on 2800 others injured. this is since the conflict escalated into d o. c, just last weekend. a warning now you may find the following images to be distressing. the corpses can be seen, hey, lining the streets. this is alma, the vehicles will in the in bottles, city of go my. it's been and taken on the full control by m. 23 great, the militants, and now reporting lead, moving to a nothing east and the city. this is blue call, who on to pledge to reach the country's capital pension. so the d o. c, government is called the takeover declaration, overview, or planning lawanda for backing the m $23.00. many civilian lives have been shafted by the owners thoughts. we've been getting an emotional account for one local woman whose family was impact. t

d r c. and then we have on the other side of the border of people over one done culture and heritage. but why live in the sullivan? uganda. that community was 14 integrated and for the citizens in eastern new york that were not. that was another case. there was never organize us as of commodities that were marginalized, a persecuted against, and the victim as we speak of the head speech. so now to solve this problem, there is a need for a dialogue, as i was saying shortly, direct thoughts between deals to government. and that moment email that to find a solution was on for to the grievances of these community. states are now here on the program where i eat on most continues is effort to slash and burn the bloated bureaucracies and america off to effectively dismantling us a id and it's tentacles across the globe. next up is radio free europe. i'm voice of america on the chopping block, as he said, is that not worth it? and it just, a waste of mine is just radical left crazy people talking to the

you can always come as a company to open activities in the d, r c. and you will have minerals that you are looking for, for one that has imposed on us the war in the d r c for decades. so people are forced to move all the time today in the east of the d, r. c. the situation is catastrophic. and we must delve deeper on this issue to limit the damage. but we also got reaction in the assessment from the facts of international relations in the d o. c. capital of this situation in the east of the deer seas difficult as some ford empowers are using the one that to make demands the drum counter toward the population. once in the cut and circumstances, it is difficult even for the you when to find the real solution. since in addition to one lunch you and member stage 2 or 3 more behind all this very in lies the complexity of the problems. the united states supports the one to know me from a technical point of view and even supplies weapons. for example, a lawsuit is currently underway between apple and the government of the d. a. see how to stop and get supplies

brands deals with the r c is really a very rich region as it has that are 71 percent of the world's cobalt protection. um 25 percent of the go global colton reserves come from the d r c and uh the, the, the monroe wells. most of the r c e is uh, estimated to be uh with $24000000000.00 a for when, when uh, when things are pointed to the very 1st 2 countries that are blamed for full benefits and from the contracting with the r c. uh, uganda and run to uh, and i sent us some you and reports which appear to confirm that this is true, that the both these 2 countries are benefiting from, from the conflict in the deceit through smuggling of minerals through the countries . but i think just finding the single that you've done that and one, the really nice is the point because these 2 countries really supply the demand for these minerals in the global markets. so i think the point is the solution really shouldn't be to really go back to the, the go shooting tables and the look at the whole, the entire program uh listing. and also deal with these other issues that we've been that might not because that's why the problem of the lack of peace and stability here with the i see becaus

decided that the 19101911 brussels artificially drilled, the photos between uganda, dwanda and d r c. and then we have on the other side of the border of people over one done. so jeff and everything. but while in the sullivan uganda, that community was for the integrated, informed citizens. nathan to ya, see that one. that was another kids. so there was never organize all of the properties. they were marginalized, a persecuted against, and the victims as we speak of overhead speech. so now to solve this problem, there is a need for a dial, as i was saying, shortly, direct thoughts between the us, the government. and that moment, you know that to find a solution once and for to the grievances of these community. in nigeria has produced dodge energy, john sheldon downs is yet to novice all is built in the country. local outrage itself is spitting over the west african nations or gully community has been fighting illegal or bottled against the u. k. base multinational for a decade to stop the devastating position the claims is caused by the company's extraction activities. it is believed tha

r. c is being accused by dwanda supporting a rebel route which is slicing against run and run the terms of the b r. c is also choosing the r c for supporting a level who, which is fighting against its government. and so that the tensions exacerbated because of the effects of both. both of the main protect them is to this, in the struggle with supporting a rebel groups. the fighting against the government. is there a role for you and seems to be um it's, it's kind of on the criticism from the d. s. the government because the phase of feeling that there's not enough is being done. there's a lot of talk, but not peacefully enough from fiction. for example, recently the us which is just urge the various parties to find a solution without providing any uh, any fixing to, to the, to the, to the plants to the different brands. deals with the r c is really a very rich region as it has that are 71 percent of the world's cobalt production of 25 percent of goals. global quotes on reserves come from the d. r c and the mineral wealth. most of the r c, ease uh estimated to be worth $24000000.00 for wh

ethics, uh, estimate and religious uh, different suspect existed although they went up to that to see this. the problem is that, uh, one of the issues in this one is the 2nd of the b r. c is being a 2 side, one to the supporting uh regular route which is slicing or the run and run the terms of the b r. c is also choosing the b r, c post supporting and rebel who, which is fighting produced as a government. and so that the tensions exacerbated because of the effects of both, both the main protectiveness of this in the struggle. we're supporting a rebel hoops the fighting against the government. is there a role for you and seems to be um, just it's kind of on the criticism from the d. s. the government because of these feelings that not enough is being done. there's a lot of talk, but not peacefully enough affection, for example, recently the us which is just urge to the various parties to find a solution without providing any uh, any fixing to uh, tools uh to, to the plan. so the different brands deals with the r c is really a very rich region, as it has that are 71 percent of the world's cobalt production of 25 percent of the goals. global colton reserves come from the

and in the weeks of the top stories, the protesters in the d. r. c. capital storm, the embassies of rwanda and several western countries. after the m 23 militant group captures the key city of go my killing at least 770 people the from our headquarters in moscow, you're watching archie international. i'm rachel ruble. so the russian investigative committee has opened a criminal case against a ukrainian army colonel missile brigade commander rushed as lapka. boucher is accused of ordering a deadly missile strike on a civilian building in rushes in battled cursed regions. the number of victims has not yet been confirmed. or the cranial non forces committed another walk fine by launching a target dismissal strike on the board. the school in the city of sewage of the law . and she'll find them in miss solace from the some we've each and both re quoted by boston, that defense systems. this pro location is aimed at distracting the world public from the atrocities of the key. if we see which we are committed to attend the village of roost, crap, i'd say in

r. c must recognize to resolve the ongoing tensions and how does rolanda planned to facilitate this recognition? we have in this, in the r c, a community, both over one culture and the one the language. actually we have a senior community and so that besides the wisdom you've done, but this is not the 4th of the season or the 4th of the one that is the 4th of the colonial part. was that decided that the 19101911 in brussels to artificially drilled the borders between uganda, dwanda and d r c. and then we have on the other side of the border of people over one done so to and the heritage. but why look in the sullivan? uganda, that community was for the integrated and for the citizens? nissan, the r c. that's one of that was another case. there was never organize us as of commodities that were marginalized, persecuted against, and the victim as we speak of overhead speech. so now to solve this problem, there is a need for a dialogue. as i was saying, shortly, direct talks between deals, the government on that moment email that to find a solution was on for to the grievances of these community. we

the lawanda process which divides the 2 parties, rolanda and the d r. c. on the issue of direct dialogue with the m 23. and as for today, has the situation not changed in such a way as to force the con, the least government in relation to the occupation we're talking about here, to force the government to enter into direct dialogue with m. 23 today, vicar, possibly a one that true? yes. good. why should we engage in dialogue with them? because the rwandans killed thousands of cum gleese because they bomb to town. is that the bonus we should give them? know we have to be clear and consistent here. the president of the republic, we have never refused dialogue, but we want these dialogues to be undertaken in an organized framework cooled the nairobi process when we were in the wanda on december 15th, that's where we were supposed to end the situation. the president kind of made did not come, but while we, with the we had president, can you out to with us, the honorary president of kenya kenyatta. he was there because it is he who conducts the political process

r. c. he is the founder and the chair of these condo research group. i began our conversation by asking him about the latest drivel push in eastern d r c. and what the m 23 group is speaking to achieve as well. the state of goal now is to overthrow the government. in contrast, they have recently said that they want to go all the way to contrast it over through the government. that's a, that's a new state of goal. their admissions used to be much smaller, but i think the things have changed dramatically in the last few weeks with the fall of goma. and what looks like a continued advance and other cities and the congress. how sophisticated is that m 23? you say there ambition is growing, it is the outfit growing to well, the m 23 is really inseparable from their own. an army the wrong from the very beginning. their own an army is played a very important role in providing supplies, but really also in backing up the m. 23. a lot of the fighting is being done by the run around an army. they are contributing at the moment, estimated somewhere between 6007000

r. c and rwanda are to hold talks this weekend. united nation says at least $900.00 people were killed in the fighting a mass burial and government as marks overflow with the bodies of those killed and the fighting power cuts from the conflict and kept more from being able to refrigerate the dead. the need to bury the dead quickly is urgent. as most mortuaries are located in hospitals, for the risk of spreading disease to patients and health care staff, the serious patients wounded by the fighting overwhelmed hospitals. ashima just 10 was wounded by a bomb and a camp for internally displaced people we were cutting out to leave the camp. then suddenly, we heard a bomb explode. it hit me. yes, i don't feel well. but what i really want is to get this bandage off of my leg, his sister town team found him in the hospital. just last to the bombings i heard the news. my mother an older brother had died. my father had also died last month. a jimmy gets scared, i found out that my little brother was alive. so i came here to look off to him.

calling for an end to the crisis and the b. r. c, or the m $23.00 militant group is on the offensive. at least 770 bodies arrived and the more because of the goma city during bottles this week, according to the r c. officials, a warning you may find the following images distressing. how many more bodies are still lining the streets of the city that's been seized by the m 23, the militants. her now report, are they moving toward another eastern city and have pledged to reach the countries of capital hunger? these locals are accusing rolanda and western states of back in the group and have storms or amber sees. in contrast to the we worked 5 kilometers to get here. we have only one desire to destroy this house. look at these chairs. i took, no one's going to stop me. i'm at home here in my own country. the cold could come a must understand that we, the congo, these people are angry. if this building falls, then let it fall. the all of this is the property of our country, even though we have sit fired with no one regrets. this, those w

were so not that long ago said that they had no intention of capturing goma the president of the d r c and the one that was supposed to meet last week. but that did not happen. and we expect any talk. so, diplomacy in this conflict, any time soon i, it is very, it's a international pressure to urge the parties him to come pick to return to negotiation. the joining segment of the southern african department community said they can be there in the african community plan. this set to the actually in the direct so that means pennsylvania to address the, the crisis and the democratic republic of congo as the president critics to get in run gun president, pork amend the main belligerents in this conflict efforts to pose, to attend the summit. having them around the same table would already be a real simple award. but you see this can still change by this weekend and the rubber bands to what you might also make the talks even more difficult. right. and leave it there for the moment. but thanks so much for joining us today, john. this patricia young in goma to europe. sweden is morning. the victim

and the b. r. c has accused neighboring troops of back in the insurgents. consortia officials have reported up to 2000 deaths and tens of thousands displays. it described the aftermath of hostilities as catastrophic causing a crime, search and destruction of a central facilities. as humanitarian organizations struggle to address, severe shortages, residence, voice, their fears. yes, most of us are suffering as we don't have any connection, no network, no electricity in the water. these are very serious problems. and we are also scared. some of us lost many things, making the situation even harder. and those are for those who or what do i, you know, we can't do anything because we don't have electricity. and because of that, thieves are always coming at night, as they know the power is out. if we don't have electricity, then we cannot even sleep unless people have solar power or the sun is already up. and we'll use that through alonda and government spokesperson also provided insight into the tense dy

so we saw how everyone was behind new frames and what the d r c has been on the end and just say humphrey kinshasa accused as to gully of helping the m. 23 militants. gain access to the r c's, mineral resources, which are critical for the production of electric vehicles and mobile phones or rhonda has denied any involvement. however, a year ago, it signed a key resource supply deal with the you and some now point to western interest in the ongoing war. the minerals value chains are critical to rolando is economy. the country is a major player on the world's 10, tell them extraction. it also produces 10 tungsten gold and the opium, and has potential for lithium and rare earth elements. in addition, rwanda with its favorable investment climate and rule of law can become a hub for value addition in the mineral sector. since the deal was inc, since the employee to city a group, establish full control of people by a mining everything east and call every a whole deposit solve 10 to them, it re mitchell extracted from colton. and as the you enlisted, it becomes a said over 15 procedures, the wil

always take input from all sides and interview the d. r. c's information and communication minister patrick will. yeah. yeah. as well. he told us the classes are a demonstration of rwanda aggression on condo. it was that easy. it's an aggression because you sold rolanda, mobilize nearly $10000.00 soldiers and special forces to make an assault on the city of come up with the clear aim of committing cottage, the most abominable crimes. first, we saw how they attacked them. a new sco peacekeepers, they bombed camps for displaced people and hospitals. the only idea was tara, they were met with fierce resistance from our forces and so that you have it. there's no other word for it. then aggression, which means the country deliberately leaves its bold as limits to enter another country with the aim to kill domestic, and to occupy a certain space for a while. and then you see a and process choose the minister there is a process underway. the lawanda process which divides the 2 parties lawanda in the d r. c, on the issue of direct dialogue with the m 2
