Donald Yamamoto: “We continue to pursue a multifaceted strategy to support regional efforts to end the threat posed by the LRA.”

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.

Security is fostered by the establishment of sound leadership, accountability to the people, transparent and democratic processes addressing the needs of the population.

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

We need to keep up a very consistent, persistent observation of the gross human rights abuses taking place in the DRC.
