My Government would like to take this opportunity to assure you that it will be replying to the Security Council 's appeal for the prompt and peaceful extension of State authority throughout the Congolese territory , in particular in Bukavu ( S/PRST/2004/19 ) . In this connection , my Government expresses its gratitude to the United Nations Organization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo ( MONUC ) and to the eminent African and Western personalities for their efforts to find a solution to this crisis in Bukavu -- for which Rwanda bears entire responsibility -- aimed precisely at restoring a measure of normality to the capital of South Kivu .
