⭕️ We are Banyamulenge. We are Tutsi. We are of Banyarwanda ancestry, and we are Congolese. None of these identities contradicts the others. The name Banyamulenge was never intended to erase or deny our origins. Before the name became widely used, our community was commonly identified as Banyarwanda, Tutsi, or Tutsi-Banyarwanda of South Kivu. Becoming known as Banyamulenge did not create a new ethnicity, nor did it erase the history and ancestry that existed before the name. ⭕️The name Banyamulenge acquired an important territorial and political meaning because it helped distinguish Congolese Tutsi-Banyarwanda families who had lived in Congo for generations from Tutsi refugees who arrived from Rwanda, particularly following the upheavals beginning in 1959. Identifying ourselves as Banyamulenge was a way of saying: we are from here; we have deep roots and a distinct history in South Kivu; we are not newly arrived refugees. It was an affirmation of our Congolese belonging, not a rejection of our ancestry or our Tutsi identity. ⭕️That is why saying, “I am Banyamulenge, therefore I am not Tutsi and have no historical connection to Banyarwanda,” amounts to denying part of our own history. We do not need to deny our ancestry to prove our Congolese nationality. Colonial borders did not erase the peoples, languages, cultures, and histories that existed before those borders were drawn. Being Tutsi, speaking Kinyarwanda, and having historical roots connected to Rwanda does not make us citizens of Rwanda today. Ancestry and nationality are not the same thing. ⭕️ In that sense, the Banyamulenge identity itself represented an ideology of self-preservation—Twirwaneho—long before Twirwaneho became an organization. It asserted our existence, our history, and our right to belong in Congo without requiring us to deny who we are. We are Banyamulenge because of the distinct community and history we built in South Kivu; we are Tutsi by ethnicity and heritage; we are of Banyarwanda ancestry; and we are Congolese by nationality and generations of belonging. The name Banyamulenge was never meant to erase where we came from—it affirmed where we belong. Both of these elders are stating historical facts, and correct. Tito Rutaremara Cc: Monsieur Gapangwa!

A brilliant young lady just deconstructed the term “Poison Rwandais”, repeatedly used by Patrick Muyaya, spokesperson of the DRC government, to dismiss, deflect, and delegitimize documented human rights abuses committed by his government. She must be protected and amplified by the entire #antiantisemitism, #antiTutsi, and #antigenocide community

The President of the Republic of Rwanda Presidency | Rwanda is right on #Minembwe. The silence and inaction of the International community is parallel to that of 1994 genocide against in Rwanda. The Congolese and Burundian government actions should be condemned by all. Since 2017: Banyamulenge communities in South Kivu have faced repeated attacks, including killings, village burnings, cattle looting, and mass displacement. 1. UN Findings (2019–2020): 171 documented human rights violations in the Hauts Plateaux. 2. 38% of victims were Banyamulenge. 15% of violations were committed by FARDC (Congolese army). 3. Hate Speech: UN reports documented persistent incitement portraying Banyamulenge as “foreigners” or “Rwandans,” fueling ethnic violence. 4. Government-backed Militias: Human Rights Watch (2025) found that the Congolese government continued supplying Wazalendo militias despite their documented abuses against Banyamulenge civilians. 5. In 2026 to date: FARDC, allied militias, and Burundian forces encircled Minembwe, while drone strikes, blocked humanitarian aid, and attacks on civilians worsened the humanitarian crisis. As a fierce leader who stopped the genocide against the Tutsis in Rwanda, he’s absolutely right to speak out against these atrocities. Don’t stop Mr. President.

This is Muvunyi Senyamurunga, a cattle herder killed yesterday by Burundian forces (FDNB) deployed in South Kivu (the Hauts Plateaux) alongside WAZALENDO and #FARDC. This man was simply keeping watch over his cattle. He was innocent, unarmed, surrounded by his cattle. A silent Gatumba 2.0 is happening in the Hauts Plateaux, away from the eyes of international witnesses. The internet and electricity have been cut off for a month by the DRC government so they can continue a genocidal campaign in total darkness. U.S. Senior Advisor for Arab and African Affairs why are there no condemnations of such acts by the DRC government?? Are minerals more important than one’s conscience?

When my Congolese brothers & sisters tell us to Go Back where we came from, President Nyerere explains: 👇 We have no other home but the DRC. We either live together peacefully or we die together as fools. Protecting Territorial integrity also means protecting all equally.
