Chairman Mast Issues Statement on Situation in Eastern DRC

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast issued the following statement.

“I demand accountability for the deaths of peacekeepers in Eastern DRC. Continued instability only benefits those who see currency in the region’s chaos and emboldens the recruitment efforts of the ISIS-affiliated Islamist rebel group ADF. In order for there to be stability in Eastern DRC, the parties must address the root causes of the conflict. I call on all sides to immediately return to the negotiating table.”
