Hon. Membe urges international support to dissolve FDLR

The Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Co-operation, Hon. Bernard Membe, has urged the international community to support implementation of the Angola Declaration on the dissolution of the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR).

The declaration to dissolve the largest remaining negative forces in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) was adopted by a SADC/Great Lakes Region Ministerial meeting held in Luanda, Angola on July 2, 2014. Tanzania is a member of the SADC Organ Troika on Politics, Defence and Security Cooperation.

Hon. Membe told diplomats accredited to Tanzania in Dar es Salaam today, that the Angola declaration was prompted by a letter to SADC by the FDLR, offering voluntary surrender.

“As we speak, 350 soldiers of FDLR have surrendered and are cantoned in a camp near Kinshasa,” the Minister told the foreign diplomats, adding that SADC found it logical and legally correct to accept the FDLR offer of surrender.

He said the process to dissolve the negative forces would involve five stages: Disarming the soldiers; demobilizing the group; repatriating the soldiers to Rwanda, reintegrating those meriting into the national army and resettling the rest.

This process required the participation of the United Nations, DRC government, Rwanda government, which should accept repatriation, reintegration and resettlement of  FDLR troops; SADC and the international community, which would monitor implementation.

“The monitoring teams should have truly international character, and that is where your assistance is needed,” Hon. Membe told the diplomats.

He said the FDLR had been give six months from this month to comply with the dissolution plan failing which the UN combat force in DRC would be used to disable the negative force.

Hon. Membe said the acceptance of the surrender notice would not exonerate criminal elements among FDLR ranks from punishment. “If any members of the group are found to have committed crime they will be prosecuted,” he explained.

Meanwhile, Hon. Membe has expressed Tanzania’s disapproval of ongoing killing of civilians by Israeli air strikes in Gaza, which have so far claimed over 170 lives.

Addressing a press conference after the meeting with diplomats, the Minister called on Israel and Hamas to ceasefire immediately, adding that The United Nations Security Council should step in to restore harmony in the Middle East.

In another development, Hon. Membe announced that his Ministry was organizing a “World in Butiama” expedition in October, this year, which would take foreign diplomats accredited to Tanzania to the burial site of The Father of the Nation, Mwalimu Nyerere, to pay homage.
