Democratic Republic of Congo: Politics and Government

Question

To ask the Deputy Foreign Secretary, if he will make an assessment of the potential impact of the recent attempted coup in the Democratic Republic of Congo on democratic (a) processes and (b) institutions in that country.

Answer

We strongly condemn the armed attacks perpetrated in Kinshasa on Sunday 19 May and condemn attempts to undermine democracy, peace and stability in the Democratic Republic of Congo. In response to the attacks, it is important that the rule of law is upheld. We regularly engage with the GoDRC in support of robust democratic processes.
