In her speech, she pleaded for the dialogue to be maintained between the States of the region. All so that, she added, the commitments made produce concrete results. Nathalie Broadhurst mentioned in particular the Luanda roadmap and particularly the meeting organized in September in New York under the aegis of the French President Emmanuel Macron, She therefore called once again for the withdrawal of the M23 from all occupied localities and for cooperation to put an end to the action of armed groups, including the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR). She also insisted that the intra-Congolese consultations continue.
It should be noted that Kinshasa, which treats the M23 as a terrorist group, does not wish to dialogue directly with this movement.
She announced that France will this year provide financial support to the United Nations Counter-Terrorism Office in order to strengthen the capacities of the States of the region.
