DR Congo President Walks Out of Macron's summit in Paris Over Rwanda Appeasement | Firstpost Africa

France might just be on the cusp of putting its diplomatic relations at stake with DR Congo. In an embarrassing moment for the French, DR Congo’s President Felix Tshisekedi walked out of the French-speaking countries’ summit held in France over the weekend after President Emmanuel Macron’s opening speech failed to mention the conflict in the east of DR Congo. Congo said it considers this omission as an attempt to appease Rwanda, a party it considers to be involved in the conflict in the east. While French President Macron called for the resumption of political processes between the parties, the summit did not see any agreement between Congo and Rwanda. With DR Congo now angry, how will France balance its relations with the two French-speaking countries that are also mineral-rich? Watch now to know more.

I still don't know what these African Francophonie countries benefit from France.

[simga]

What was the president of the DRC doing at this stupid summit? Did Macron promise him to condemn Rwanda? Africans must stop begging, close the continent like what happened in China and work hard like China did. I believe that in 5 years we will make enormous progress.

[NontobekoM-hwvd]

Shame on all Africa leaders who still look up to France

[G-ManWaseKasiInManchester]

As Africans fight colonialism, Rwanda is welcoming all of them....can Africa ever survive without the West? and will Africa ever Unite?

[TimelyInspiration-qpyi]

We always know that Kagame is a stooge. He has forces in Congo basically to keep Congo poor and the West rich.

What these presidents are doing in France, we need Presidents like Ibrahim Traore across Africa who believe that Africans have true and lasting solutions to Africa's problems.

Walking out and answering them on private is high level of stupidity. As a real man, you walk away and say no more.

God is sufficient for us and He is the best disposer of affairs for those who brought oh people, we are your sisters by God 😭😭😭 we do not even find a loaf of bread inside the house that would satisfy you, oh nation of Muhammad. People are brothers. Oh God, make your righteous servants subservient to us. Oh God, make your righteous servant subsistent to us. My appeal to every Muslim, oh lord, if he sees this message, may he prolong his life, make him happy and cover him. May God reward him. God is sufficient for me and he's the best disposer of affairs. There is no power or strength except with God. Oh people, oh nation of Muhammad, Oh of goodness, oh people of Mercy. We are your sisters and your children. By God, we do not even find a loaf of bread inside the house that would satisfy you. All nation of Muhammad, I only spoke out of extreme hunger and distress. My mother, sisters and I are displaced from our homes because of the war. We are in a state that no one knows about except God. God is sufficient for us, and he is the best disposer of affairs, against those who brought us to this state💔💔 by God Almighty, I only load this appeal out of extreme poverty and hunger, oh people. I beg you by God Almighty, Lord of the mighty, throne that I do not have food at home. By God, my brother and sisters have been sitting around for 2 days without food by God our situation is very difficult we are 6 people in house and my father passed away and where is no one to support us and we live in a rented house we cannot pay the rest of the rent. I am not lying to you nor deceiving you nor cheating you. I am a Palestine boy displaced because of the work between me and my family overlaid dispute and the owner of the house. By God my brother come everyday and humiliate us and talk about us and want us to go out of the street because we are able to pay him the rent.
