§ Dr. TongeTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what recent representations he has received concerning violence in the Ituri region of north-eastern Congo. [114776]
§ Mr. HainWe are concerned at recent reports of massacres. We condemn all such incidents and have called on all parties to exercise restraint. During my meeting with President Museveni on 22 February I noted that Ugandan forces currently control the area and urged him to do all he could to stop such events. Along with our EU partners we also raised this issue with the Ugandan Government. With our UN partners we have called for an international investigation into all such events with a view to bringing all those responsible to justice.
