(Adnkronos) – “I hope that my colleagues are now convinced that the time has come to adopt sanctions against Rwanda as well, as the United States has done”. This was stated by the Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prévot on the sidelines of the EU Council in Brussels. As in the war in Ukraine there is an aggressor and an aggressed, he continues, the same applies “with regard to the situation in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo”. There comes a time when “contempt for international law must be widely condemned by the international community. This is why Belgium has asked for the situation in eastern Congo to be put on the agenda of today’s meeting”, he concludes.
