Foreign Affairs committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Dewar. We have always said that if we do not control the movements of terrorist groups in the East, the Congo will not be the only country affected, because this sort of thing crosses borders. We are talking about uranium. There is an ASADHO report on this.

Foreign Affairs committee  Paul Kagame and the people who want to exploit the Congo's wealth. Those people are certainly not in Africa. In fact, Paul Kagame is only the armed branch of the large multinationals. That has been archived and documented. The report issued by the United Nations expert group is clear in that regard.

Foreign Affairs committee  Thank you for your question. You are right to say that this unacceptable and that these crimes continue to go unpunished. Indeed, we have come to provide evidence that they continue to go unpunished. We have tons of documents on this. If MONUC withdraws, it will be a disaster; it is as simple as that.

Foreign Affairs committee  That is correct. In the latest report released on April 8 by Ms. Arbour, who leads the International Crisis Group, she says that in the Congo, plans for democratization are completely bogged down. Even before Ms. Arbour's report, in July 2009, the International Federation for Human Rights published a report entitled “Democratic Republic of Congo: The Authoritarian Drift of the Regime”.
