US: Coalition says U.N. Congo report is last straw

Coalition says U.N. Congo report is last straw

October 1, 2010


Washington D.C. – A spreading coalition of American based grassroots and human rights organizations who focus on the Great Lakes Region of Africa has congratulated the U.N. on its recently leaked bombshell study of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The coalition is frequently critical of the actions of Rwandan President Paul Kagame and has labeled this U.N. report the "straw that will break the camel's back" and show the world Kagame's true face. The group says it now expects President Obama to live by his July 2009 speech in Accra, Ghana, and to terminate Washington's cozy relationship with Rwanda's strongman.
