African solutions to African problems

On Friday President Paul Kagame told the visiting European Union Commissioner for Development and Humanitarian Aid, Louis Michel, that the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is responsible for 95 per cent of its problems. Despite this, Kagame said that he is committed to helping solve these problems that have left some 250,000 people fleeing fighting between government and rebel forces. Michel and Kagame agreed that the best way to solve the DR Congo problems was through dialogue. And while believing DRC must find their solutions to their problems, Kagame acknowledged the significance of regional involvement.
