Kenya strongly disassociates itself from DRC Rebel Alliance Launched In Nairobi.
In a letter on Sunday from the Foreign Affairs Cabinet Secretary, Musalia Mudavadi, clarified that Kenya had not played a part in the meeting neither did the state.
The statement read,”Kenya strongly disassociates itself from any utterances or activities likely to injure the peace and security of the friendly Nation of DRC and has commenced investigation to determine the identities of the makers of the statement and the extent to which their utterances fall outside constitutionally protected speech.”
Musalia highlighted that investigations on the allegations to determine the identities of persons who made the claims have started.
He stated,”The Ministry of Foreign & Diaspora Affairs of the Republic of Kenya refers to press reports that some nationals of the Democratic Republic of Congo claiming association with rebel groups within DRC addressed a press conference in Nairobi and made statements that are prima facie inimical to the constitutional order of the Democratic Republic of Congo,”
“Kenya further affirms its non-involvement in the internal affairs of DRC and commits to continue supporting the peace, security, and democratic consolidation of the country,” he added.
This comes after Congo recalled its ambassadors from Kenya and Tanzania after a new Congolese military alliance that includes rebels was launched in Nairobi.
This recall of the ambassadors was announced by Congo’s Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Alain Tshibanda on Saturday, December 17, 2023
