Donald Yamamoto: “We will continue to press for an end to violence, broad-based dialogue without precondition, respect for human rights…”

The United States stands as a symbol that we are going to work for what the people of Congo want.

Everything has to be on the table. And as you know, we did implement targeted sanctions, OFAC sanctions on six specific individuals.

Our immediate focus is to support the stability of the DRC through genuine free and fair elections that are credible and inclusive and lead to a peaceful democratic transfer of power.

We have offered President Biya and his government that they must reach out in an open dialogue without any preconditions.
