Comité inter-mouvements auprès des évacués - History




1990-1999


-1995-2002, Rwanda: a year after the 1994 genocide, the CIMADE starts a partnership with the Presbyterian Church in Kigali. But the new regime does not stop the war, especially in Kivu, Congo-Kinshasa. In 2002, the CIMADE decides to stop funding the Presbyterian Church, which did not denounce the Rwandese military occupation of Kivu, and whose leaders are supervised by President Paul Kagamé.
 
-From 1999, Congo-Brazzaville: with NGOs like FDH, Agir ici and Survie, the CIMADE takes part in demonstrations in Paris against the role of the French government and Elf corporation in the civil war between Pascal Lissouba and President Denis Sassou N’Guesso. In 2002, the organisation and the French Protestant Federation then launch a transparency campaign pressing oil companies to “say what they pay”, including bribes, so that oil money could really be invested in the reconstruction of Congo.
