It is with dismay that we learned some participants withdrew from the dialogue.
00:18
Yet it was the only way that allowed us to hope for peace.
00:23
The opposing parties, namely the government and M23, needed to meet to discuss and resolve
00:29
their misunderstandings.
00:34
For us, it was really the only solution to end this war that has paralysed all activities
00:39
across South Kivu province.
00:56
We can no longer access our fields or our bank accounts.
00:59
The economic circuit is blocked and paralysed, which plunges us into deep dismay and disappointment.
01:08

01:15
We really asked stakeholders to prioritise the interests of the population rather than
01:19
their selfish interests.
