The United States of America broke its silence on the attacks on the US Embassy, the Kenyan Embassy, and other embassies by M23 rebels in the Democratic Republic of Congo, which is currently ravaged by war.
Through a statement by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman, Senator Jim Risch, the US condemned the attacks, warning of dire consequences for attacks on diplomatic offices. "The violent attacks on the US Embassy at Kinshasa and other embassies today are unacceptable," Risch stated. "The DRC government must ensure that foreign diplomatic missions are protected.
Continued harm to Americans and our property will have serious consequences," he asserted.
