US “deeply concerned” by military activities

    NAIROBI

    Also on Tuesday, the US expressed its concern over reports of military movements and violations of the Lusaka accord in the DRC. “The US is deeply concerned by reports of military preparations, including the movement of troops and materiel by forces on both sides,” news organisations quoted State Department spokesman James Rubin as saying. “These movements are provocative and risk being used as a pretext for a resumption of fighting ... The US condemns any violation of the accord and stresses that we will hold responsible any government or rebel organisation that violates the accord,” Rubin added.
