"content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you cannot discuss issues of climate in the absence of peace. Therefore, the call for downing of arms in many member states of the Great Lakes region that are affected by conflicts. I know there are initiatives, including in the DRC and many other parts of the continent that face challenges. I hope that members of the Great Lakes region will help to bring a speedy conclusion of the challenges that the Republic of South Sudan and the Republic of Sudan are facing today. You understand the challenges that exist there. There have been great conversations about the presence of Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in the country and invitation of the other people. These are people we must have as a country. We have been a great contributor to the stability of this region. Almost every country that has faced conflict began their peace efforts here in Nairobi and we have always hosted them. I do not know why people want to trivialize the existence of part of the factions that are warring in certain parts of the continent. Before parties agree, you need both of them around. To have both parties, they have to report. These are people who are fighting. You do not expect them to agree to come to Nairobi the same day. So, if one of the parties show up, what we should call for is for the aggressors or people who in conflict with them to equally show up here or any other part of the continent, so that we conclude on that particular issue. Sen. Mungatana spoke about the cry and pleas of the people of the DRC, which is something that has been with us for a long time. It is a sad story because DRC ought to be the largest economy on the Continent of Africa because of the resources they have and the land size which is also fertile and all that. However, due to conflicts for a long time, you understand how their economy is. It has been very difficult to bring together the parties and get them to agree. I hope that the process that is ongoing, which is spearheaded by the Great Lakes Initiative, will yield fruits, so that those people get to live peacefully and enjoy life and their country. Unfortunately, any part of the continent that is affected by conflict affects the rest of the continent. It is until there is sufficient peace on the continent that we will be able to carry out trade that we talked about earlier and move around the continent with freedom. People will not have to travel to other destinations across the globe to enjoy and find beauty. Africa has sufficient beauty. It is also blessed with all the resources and sites that one may want to behold. You can never conclude on it. However, because of challenges and conflicts that we are talking about, many people prefer to travel elsewhere."
