00:00At a major European Union forum in Brussels, the Democratic Republic of Congo's president made a direct public plea for peace.
00:08With Rwandan President Paul Kagame in the audience, Felix Tchekedi urgently called on him to hold support for the M23 rebel group, stating history will be our judge.
00:20The appeal came at the European Union's Global Gateway Investment Summit.
00:25I have seen the president of Rwanda. That is who I am talking about.
00:31I call you all as witnesses here, the world following us on the networks, as I launch an appeal to peace.
00:40I reach out my hand and ask that we stop. Let's stop this escalation.
00:55That means you have to give the order to the M23 troops who have been supported by your country and tell them to stop this escalation, which has already killed enough people, millions over the years.
01:11History will be our judge. It's time that we stop. We need to turn now towards peace and growth.
01:23Kagame did not have an immediate opportunity to respond to the peace appeal.
