"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, yet again, unfortunately, our Parliament has been called upon to express its clear condemnation of the mass rapes regularly committed, with total impunity …
in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), in South Kivu province in particular.
The United Nations Organisation Stabilisation Mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo (MONUSCO) has not been able to afford sufficient protection against these mass rapes and it is the responsibility of the government of the DRC to guarantee safety on its territory and to protect civilians. The funds allocated only reach a very few of the victims, and coordination of the aid is in no way guaranteed.
It is crucial for the Commission to maintain the funding that it grants to humanitarian aid in eastern DRC.
The plan favouring a military solution to resolve the conflict in South Kivu has proved to be a failure. There must be a political solution to this conflict, and we cannot but lament the international community’s lack of courage.
Finally, I would like to conclude by saying that the media also have an essential role to play, and they do not always play it. In particular, they should ensure that people remain involved and that public opinion is properly alerted to the issue."@en1
