Mr President, Floribert Chebeya Bahizire and his horrific fate is, unfortunately, not an isolated case. On the contrary, it is the tip of an iceberg, not only in the Democratic Republic of Congo, but in Africa as a whole.
Congo is a fascinating country. The waters there could make the whole continent fertile. Its raw materials could make the whole continent rich. Its energy resources could supply the whole continent and a reasonably functional rule of law would help the whole of Africa to establish a stable order.
Unfortunately, however, the opposite is happening. Congo is a huge hotbed of destabilisation, which is continually being exported to other countries, but which is then also brought into Congo from outside. As the EU, we therefore need to make Congo one of the focus points of our development policy, our policy for promoting the rule of law and our peace policy, as it is there that the fate of Africa will be decided. It is therefore right that our next big conference should take place there."@en1
