Rwandan Artist wants MONUSCO to escort him during his tour in DRC

{Masamba Intore, a Rwandan artist, wants the UN peacekeeping forces under MONUSCO to accompany him during his visit to the Democratic Republic of Congo. The artist is expected to participate in the party that was organized by Ndule Awards.}

The party is in line with thanking DR Congo’s President Joseph Kabila for his significant contribution in the stabilization of the Eastern part of DRC.

Speaking to this site, Masamba was concerned with security issues and that’s why he wishes to be accompanied by MONUSCO forces.

MONUSCO was tasked by UN Security Council to reestablish peace and security in the war torn part of the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo as well as protecting civilian from rebels’ attacks.

Masamba said that he fears that Congolese may attack him due to the fact that Congo has been accusing Rwanda to support the recent defeated M23 rebels.

Commenting on the invitation of participating in Ndule awards event, Masamba explains that “They have invited me to join other region artists in an event that aims to celebrate the stability that was reestablished in Goma City after long period of war in that region”

IGIHE has seen the invitation which is read as follows: {“To thank the President of the Republic, His Excellency Joseph Kabila Kabange and celebrate the return of peace and National Cohesion, in your capacity as an artist, you’re invited to represent the Rwanda in the 5th edition of Ndule Awards this Friday, December 20, 2013 in Goma in North Kivu Province. Your presence is highly desirable”}

Meanwhile other regional countries including Burundi, Uganda, Tanzania and others will see their artists performing in the forthcoming event that is slated on 20 December 2013.
