...have martyrs and devastated property; our lands are occupied, and millions of our people are displaced. A meeting of heads of state to discuss the Arab-Israeli conflict might lead to war instead of peace because when there are differences at the ((top)) leadership level, there is nobody to mend things...

In fact, there is no linkage, and the loan has been tabled because Congo is behind on paying debts.
