twenty three rebels entered Goma on Monday, in a metal

83
00:05:27,040 –> 00:05:31,240
escalation of a three decade conflict. They were continuing to

84
00:05:31,360 –> 00:05:36,800
first pockets of resistance from few army units and their bakas. Meanwhile,

85
00:05:37,199 –> 00:05:42,720
more than one hundred FARDC soldiers FDLR and Wazilando who

whose minerals are critical to much of the world’s technology.

92
00:06:06,000 –> 00:06:09,720
Rebel groups have long fought over control of Eastern Congo’s

93
00:06:09,759 –> 00:06:13,839
mineral world, and the conflict has often pitted ethnic groups

94
00:06:13,879 –> 00:06:17,920
against one another, with civilians forced to flee their homes.

95
00:06:18,160 –> 00:06:24,079
According to local observers. South African National Defense Force SA

96
00:06:24,160 –> 00:06:27,319
and d F said it has noted with concerned the

97
00:06:27,360 –> 00:06:31,199
widespread circulation of a video on social media, accompanied by

98
00:06:31,240 –> 00:06:35,079
misleading claims suggesting that SA and d F forces surrendered

99
00:06:35,120 –> 00:06:38,519
to M twenty three rebels. We wish to set the

100
00:06:38,600 –> 00:06:43,079
record strait. The footage in question depicts a white flag raised,

101
00:06:43,439 –> 00:06:47,800
which is an outcome of discussion between the opposing fighting

102
00:06:47,839 –> 00:06:50,639
forces to agree on a tius to allow M twenty

103
00:06:50,680 –> 00:06:53,639
three to recover their debt in the vicinity of our base.

104
00:06:54,399 –> 00:06:57,120
This will also open the root for our troops to

105
00:06:57,240 –> 00:07:02,000
access medical facilities. This is common practice in any war.

106
00:07:02,480 –> 00:07:05,360
Let members of the public not be alarmed by a

107
00:07:05,480 –> 00:07:09,000
video clip and its meaning. The SA and d A

108
00:07:09,079 –> 00:07:13,639
freemans fully committed to its peacekeeping responsibilities under the United

109
00:07:13,800 –> 00:07:18,720

114
00:07:32,839 –> 00:07:36,399
its soldiers who sustained injuries in previous days fight with

115
00:07:36,439 –> 00:07:39,360

116
00:07:39,480 –> 00:07:43,399
or died, bringing the total numbers of South Africa soldiers

117
00:07:43,480 –> 00:07:49,000
killed in recent days in Gumar to thirteen. Kenya President WILLIAMS. Roto,

118
00:07:49,079 –> 00:07:54,000
in a video broadcast on Bombay, said the escalating deteriorating

119
00:07:54,079 –> 00:07:58,000
peace and security situation in the DRC is of grave concern.

120
00:07:58,800 –> 00:08:03,959
The humanitarian crime is being exacerbated by ongoing military actions,

121
00:08:03,959 –> 00:08:07,560
including the closure of s place in Goma. I call

122
00:08:07,639 –> 00:08:12,279

123
00:08:12,319 –> 00:08:16,639
obligation of all parties to facilitate humanitarian access to affected

124
00:08:16,720 –> 00:08:20,079
populations and warned both sides to pursue peaceful means to

125
00:08:20,160 –> 00:08:24,959
resolve the tragic conflict. As chair of the EAC, I

126
00:08:25,120 –> 00:08:28,519
call on the parties to the Duanda process and my brothers.

127
00:08:29,040 –> 00:08:33,240
