Washington, DC
March 5, 2012
I
was deeply saddened to learn of the loss of life and damage caused by
Sunday's explosions at a munitions depot in Brazzaville. The U.S.
Embassy in Brazzaville is in the process of issuing a disaster
declaration that will allow the U.S. to provide emergency assistance and
relief to help the victims of this tragedy. We are working with the
Government of the Republic of Congo and the international community to
determine what additional assistance we can provide to the government
and people of Congo. Our thoughts and prayers are with all Congolese
people during this difficult time.
