Congo-Kinshasa: Rally Turns Violent

22 February 2014 , Source: UN News

The top United Nations official in the Democratic Republic of the
Congo (DRC) today expressed concern after a political rally in South
Kivu turned violent, leaving dozens of people injured, including
several who have detailed their stories to the UN peacekeeping mission
in the country.

"Such events appeal to everyone's conscience," said Martin Kobler,
Special Representative of the Secretary-General and head of the UN
mission, known by the French acronym MONUSCO.

"I wish to remind the shared responsibility of political actors as
well as administrative and security officials," he added. "Preserving
peace and security for all as well as respect for human rights is
everyone's responsibility."

According to information from MONUSCO, the incidents occurred
yesterday during a rally organized by the Union pour la Nation
Congolaise (UNC) at Independence Square in Bukavu.

Nearly 50 people have reportedly been injured, according to health and
police officials who spoke with the Mission. UN staff have been able
to visit 20 civilians and police to hear their testimonies.

In its statement today, MONUSCO, which among its primary tasks is
mandated by the UN Security Council to protect civilians in the
country, noted that the freedom of peaceful assembly and demonstration
are enshrined in the Congolese Constitution.

-“The root cause of the Rwandan tragedy of 1994 is the long and past historical ethnic dominance of one minority ethnic group to the other majority ethnic group. Ignoring this reality is giving a black cheque for the Rwandan people’s future and deepening resentment, hostility and hatred between the two groups.”

-« Ce dont j’ai le plus peur, c’est des gens qui croient que, du jour au lendemain, on peut prendre une société, lui tordre le cou et en faire une autre ».

-“The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.”

-“I have loved justice and hated iniquity: therefore I die in exile.

-“The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.”
