The US is “concerned” with the situation in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Washington is working with the African mediation team on a long-term solution to the conflict, Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said.
Mr Blinken, who arrived in Kinshasa on Tuesday, promised to speak with Rwandan President Paul Kagame over Kigali’s alleged support for the M23 rebels in eastern DRC after he was questioned on the US stance.
