RWANDA WITHDRAWS FROM ECCAS
Rwanda deplores the instrumentalization of the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS) by the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), with the support of certain Member States. This distortion of the organization’s purpose was once again evident during the 26th Ordinary Summit held today in Malabo, where Rwanda’s right to assume the rotating Chairmanship, stipulated in Article 6 of the Treaty, was deliberately ignored in order to impose the DRC’s diktat.
Rwanda had already, in a letter addressed to the Chairperson of the African Union, denounced its illegal exclusion from the 22nd Summit held in 2023 in Kinshasa under the DRC’s presidency. The silence and inaction that followed confirm the organization’s failure to enforce its own rules.
Rwanda denounces the violation of its rights as guaranteed by the constitutive texts of ECCAS. Consequently, Rwanda sees no justification for remaining in an organization whose current functioning runs counter to its founding principles and intended purpose.
