(ANSA) - ROME, FEBRUARY 27 - On February 15 the Italian embassy in Kinshasa informed the Congolese Foreign Ministry of the forthcoming trip to the Goma region of the Italian ambassador Luca Attanasio, and that the trip would take place from February 19 to 24.
The authenticity of the document, which has been circulating on social media since yesterday, has been confirmed to ANSA from qualified sources.
After the killing of Attanasio and Iacovacci, the Congolese Ministry of the Interior had said that neither the security services nor the local authorities had been able to guarantee the safety of the convoy, due to lack of information on their presence.
The response of the Congolese Foreign Ministry is ready, which confirms that it has received the note from the embassy but maintains that on the same day Attanasio would have "visited the director of the Protocol of State to inform him that the trip would no longer take place and that a second note would have been communicated to about".
