Press Release: AFJN Calls on Congress for US Action Against Rwanda’s Violation of Territorial Integrity of the Democratic Republic of the CongoFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEJanuary 31, 2025Washington, DC – On January 31, 2025, the Africa Faith and Justice Network (AFJN) issued a call to action, sending a letter “Urgent Call for U.S. Action Against Rwanda’s Violation of DRC’s Territorial Integrity” to the United States (US) Secretary of State, and members of Congress. “The US Government and the international community must take urgent and decisive action to stop the carnage in the DRC” said Dr. Steven Nabieu Rogers, Executive Director of the Africa Faith and Justice Network (AFJN). The situation has taken a devastating turn, with the United Nations Human Rights documenting summary executions between January 26-28. However, allegations of illegal minerals trafficking have surfaced, with Global Witness reporting that up to 90% of Rwanda’s coltan exports may be sourced from eastern DRC. ###The Africa Faith and Justice Network is a faith-based, non-partisan coalition of 33 US-based religious communities of men and women.
