Vital Kamerhe has urged the US to involve the UN Security Council in sanctioning Rwanda and Uganda

He emphasized this during discussions with a delegation from the American Congress in Kinshasa on July 17. Kamerhe also stressed the need for the withdrawal of Rwandan and Ugandan troops from Congolese soil as a precondition for lasting peace in the region. He outlined the major challenges facing the DRC, particularly in the economic, social, and security spheres, and reaffirmed the country's position as a victim of aggression. 

Kamerhe believes that pacifying Eastern DRC requires the removal of Rwandan and Ugandan soldiers from Congolese territory. However, the leaders of both countries have denied the presence of their troops in the DRC, stating that it's a tactic to avoid addressing the DRC's internal issues.

Urging the United States to support this initiative, Kamerhe called for UN Security Council sanctions against Rwanda and Uganda, both of which have been implicated in reports on the conflict in the DRC.

Responding to these requests, Brian Fitzpatrick, the head of the US Congressional delegation, assured the DRC of US support in its development process. Additionally, he mentioned that the United States considers the DRC a major partner and is committed to understanding and addressing the country's needs.

Finally, the two parties agreed to strengthen their relations through parliamentary diplomacy to enable the DRC to benefit from the American experience.
