MONUC Press Review - 28 September 2007

The speech of President Joseph Kabila at the 62nd session of the United Nations General Assembly was the main subject today in the Kinshasa press.
As envisaged, President Joseph Kabila gave a speech yesterday Thursday 27 September before the United Nations General Assembly.

According to Le Phare, the head of the Congolese state indicated in his speech that "while privileging the political and diplomatic approach, the DRC must by all the means solve the residual problems of insecurity which still prevail in the territories of the east."

In other words, "... peace and security must quickly be restored at all costs in this part of the DRC," informed Le Palmarès.

For this simple reason, explains Le Reference Plus, "nothing can justify Congolese populations being the object of continued violence and exactions by the armed groups," quoting Joseph Kabila.

This is why before the General Assembly of the United Nations, the Congolese president "called on the responsibility of the international community in the re-establishment of peace and of security in the east of the DRC," said La Tempête des Tropiques.

In truth, indicates Le Potentiel, "it is a way of saying clearly that it falls on the United Nations to accompany effectively the peace process in the DRC for the foreseeable future."

By then and "at the end of his stay in the United States, president Kabila will carry out an in-depth refitting of his government," believes La Tempête des Tropiques.

"To adapt the government to the requirements of its programme of rebuilding and reconstruction, which must revised and adapted in light of the billions of dollars fresh from China," La Tempête des Tropiques continues.
