February 7-Democratic the Republic of Congo called on Arsenal, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Zarmain to finish their “blood stained” sponsorship agreements with Rwanda due to the ongoing conflict in the region.
The petition came after the Rwanda’s notorious M23 rebel group East Dr. Congo’s largest city of cow bees occupied.
The DR Congo Health Ministry has said that the residence of offensive gold, Coltan and Tin Mines by M23 rebels has about 800 dead bodies in the hospital around Goma, following aggressively offensive in the region.
Fighting between the M23 and the Congolese army has led to human rights violations, and DRC Foreign Minister Theres Kaikwamba Wagner wrote three clubs questioning the morals of their sponsorship agreement.
Wagner said in his letter, “Thousands of people are currently trapped in the town of Goma with limited access to food, water and protection.”
“Numerous lives are lost; Rape, murder and theft are prevailing. Your sponsor is directly responsible for this distress. If you are not for your own conscience, the clubs should do this for the victims of Rwander aggression (to finish their sponsoring agreement). “
‘Visit Rwanda’ started their Arsenal sponsorship in 2018, the latest contract was reported to be more than $ 10 million every year.
Bayern Munich signed a five -year football development and tourism promotion partnership with Rwanda in 2021, while ‘Visit Rwanda’ sponsored PSG since 2019.
The visits Rwanda campaign successfully raised the profile of the East African country, but the Rwanda government has been accused of washing sports.
Wagner says the DRC believes that Rwanda -backed forces plundered “millions of tonnes of minerals” and took them back to the border and then sold them to the world market.
“How sure are you sure that blood mineral cash is not being used to fund your sponsorship contract?” He asked the clubs, none of whom seem to have been reacting publicly.
