An FCDO spokesperson said:
바카라 사이트śThe entrance of M23 and the Rwandan Defence Force into Bukavu바카라 사이트‹ is a violation of DRC바카라 사이트™s sovereignty and바카라 사이트‹ territorial integrity, and a breach of바카라 사이트‹ Â the UN Charter. This is a serious escalation that heightens the risk of a wider regional conflict 바카라 사이트“ the human cost of which would be devastating바카라 사이트‹. The UK calls for an immediate cessation of hostilities, withdrawal of all RDF from Congolese territory and a return to dialogue through African-led peace processes. There can be no military solution.
바카라 사이트śThe humanitarian situation in eastern DRC is critical. Close to a million people have already been displaced by this recent offensive and hundreds of thousands are now in desperate need of lifesaving support. It is appalling that vital aid routes have been cut off. All바카라 사이트‹ parties must restore humanitarian access as a matter of urgency.바카라 사이트ť
