"The accusations that Rwanda is supplying the rebels in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) with trained troops and with arms make the conflict situation in the east of the country even more unclear. In addition, accusations have been made that President Kabila of the DRC has asked for military help from Angola and Zimbabwe. If these prove to be true, the conflict in the east of the DRC could easily turn into a war on a regional scale. All sides seem to have fallen back into their former roles of friends and enemies from the time of the wars in the Congo. As the arms embargoes have repeatedly been broken, the ready availability of weapons constantly reignites the conflicts. The problem is that war is being waged in the DRC in order to gain access to raw materials and the raw materials are being exploited in order for each side to arm itself for war. Past experiences have shown that the UN peacekeepers are not currently in a position to provide adequate protection for the population. It is important for the EU to continue attempting to act as a mediator, but also to follow up the accusations that have been made most recently. We must finally succeed in ensuring that the arms embargoes are complied with and that the civilian population is protected."@en1
