🇫🇷🇨🇩 Macron ends Africa tour in DR Congo

The French President Emmanuel Macron held talks on Saturday with President Felix Tshisekedi in the capital of Democratic Republic of Congo.

During press conference he said that "France will remain faithful to its role as an unfailing ally of the DRC in defending its integrity and sovereignty. The Democratic Republic of Congo must not be the spoils of war. The pillaging of the DRC must stop."

Tshisekedi asked France to back sanctions against Rwanda, but French President said he consider such a step after some observation of situation.

Macron also shared his vision of a renewed partnership with Africa in which it stands equal with France, and the image of France as an arrogant former colonial power whilst bidding for future influence would be dispelled.
