In the UN Security Council Resolution 1925 of May 28 2010, the UN Security Council has asked the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) to implement strategies towards a sustainable solution of the Rwandan rebels on the Congolese soil, including repatriation, reinsertion or resettlement in other areas, or judicial prosecution as appropriate, with the help of all countries, especially those in the region.
In the same resolution, the Un Security Council has urged the Governments of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda to continue to work together and to agree on a clear set of end-state objectives on the FDLR, in the framework of a multidimensional approach;
The UN Security Council appears to be an open repudiation of the so called “Secret Agreement” signed between the Rwandan and the DRC governments. In the secret accord signed on February 6, 2009, in Rubavu Gisenyi, by the DRC and Rwandan Foreign Ministers, a copy of which AfroAmerica Network obtained last year, states in the article 8: “The two delegations agreed on the disarmament and voluntary or forced repatriation of ex-FAR / Interahamwe, instead of the relocation to Congolese soil.”
With the UN Security Council, the ball is now in the camp of Rwanda and DRC governments to find a solution that they should have found long ago. Already, the DRC Government has launched the resstlement of Hutu rebels on its territory, in the contradiction with the Secret Accord, but in line with the UN Security Council resolution.
