#Bunia, DRC: Anti-Tutsi Hate Speech Targeting Somali Drivers as Armed Congolese Soldier Issues Chilling Death Threats. This is further evidence that hate speech in the #DRC has reached alarming levels, and that Tutsis and those who resemble them are not safe under President Tshisekedi’s leadership.

📍#DRC🇨🇩 In 2023, after being received repeatedly by EU and U.S. embassies, Congolese Tutsi refugee Nsengiyera John said: "28 years in refugee camps is too much… If you choose to remain silent now, then stay silent when we decide to solve this problem ourselves." His message, delivered in Kinyarwanda, reflected deep frustration with the international community’s silence regarding the persecution of Congolese Tutsis. In the videos below, Nsengiyera John describes the suffering endured by Congolese Tutsi refugees living in camps for nearly three decades. Today, in 2025, the young Nsengiyera John is reportedly on the front lines with #M23, saying he is defending his rights after feeling abandoned by the international community — just as many felt in 1994 during the genocide against the Tutsis in Rwanda. In the DRC, Congolese Tutsis have been lynched, burned, and subjected to horrific violence by individuals claiming to defend the country's territorial integrity against so-called “Tutsi invaders.” At the same time, the Congolese government has mobilized, reorganized, and armed armed groups hostile to Tutsis, who continue to carry out systematic attacks against Congolese Tutsi communities in both rural and urban areas. Meanwhile, those responsible for these atrocities and anti-Tutsi militias are often described as “patriotic resistance fighters” defending their land and communities — according to statements from the President of the DRC, the Supreme Commander of the FARDC.

US Attorney General Pam Bondi: "There is free speech, and then there is hate speech" This is how Bondi justifies the prosecution of those Americans who publicly mocked the death of Republican Charlie Kirk. Do you agree that regulating hate speech destroys freedom of speech? Or should hate speech be banned?

The genocide in Rwanda was fuelled by decades of hate speech targeting the Tutsi. Three decades later, the verbal violence of hate speech is still all around us. The global community must stand as one against this torrent of hate speech, and denounce it wherever it’s found.

#DRC 🇨🇩 A colonel of the Republican Guard - which is Tshisekedi’s Guard, openly preaching hatred and xenophobia against "Rwandandans": "You have to put it in your head that at no time can a Rwandan surpass you. The Rwandan is not ashamed. He seeks to dominate the children of the Congo. That's why it requires our sacrifice... so don’t hesitate". The incitement to hate speech against Rwanda is directed against the Congolese Tutsis and part of the genocidal agenda of #Tshisekedi Présidence RDC 🇨🇩 . Maybe that is what U.S. Senior Advisor for Arab and African Affairs doesn’t see in Switzerland where AFCM23 was meeting with the Tshisekedi regime? But it is real back in DRC.

🚨Not long ago, I predicted that southern #Somalia would fall and that the country would further fragment. That was three years ago. Listen to President Abdirahman Faroole’s speech today in #Kismayo. The Somali senator, who is well informed, has confirmed that Al-Shabaab terrorists are at the gates of #Mogadishu and that many evicted youths in the capital are being recruited by the militant group. He warned that after Somaliland’s breakaway in 1991, Puntland and Jubaland could follow suit unless Hassan Sheikh Mohamud is stopped—a warning he directed at politicians in coming from #Mogadishu. Faroole further confirmed that Al-Shabaab’s real-estate investments are expanding in Mogadishu and that money laundering has reached alarming levels in the Somali capital.

🇺🇸 U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi: “There's free speech and then there's hate speech. We will absolutely target you, go after you, if you are targeting anyone with hate speech.” -> You should not go after people for hate speech! Hate speech should be legal! I personally thinking there is one exception, if your position is government funded and requires neutrality, for example teachers … they absolutely should not teach and express public opinions in that category.

This entire hate speech debate in the Supreme Court is puerile and reeks of hypocrisy and cowardice. Who decides what is hate speech? Here, I dare milords to have the guts to call the public recitation of the verse claiming ‘Hindus are the worst of creatures’ as hate speech:

The Point of No Return: DRC Army Calls for the Mass Killing of the Tutsi in DRC On Dec 29, speaking on behalf of the Congolese army, General Sylvain Ekenge delivered an official communication on the public TV channel RTNC.CD, in which he designated the Tutsi as the ultimate enemy to eliminate, including women and children. ➡️The FARDC Officiel SCIFA spokesperson indeed: 1) defines the Tutsi as the "Nilotic" foreigner/invader (from Abyssinia) who have come to "colonize" the Great Lakes, following the Hamitic conspiracy theory which led to the near-extermination of Tutsi in Rwanda from 1959 to 1994 (Video 1), 2) links the term Ubwenge (which means intelligence), to the notions of maliciousness, dishonesty, manipulation, deceitfulness, immorality, infidelity, perfidy, betrayal... which he attributes to the Tutsi as a definite, immutable moral characteristic (Video 1), 3) defines the Tutsi children as equally evil and morally corrupt (Video 1, 2), 4) establishes a symbolic link between the Washington agreement signed between DRC and Rwanda, and a "civil marriage" between a non-Tutsi Congolese man and a Tutsi woman (he describes as the primary tool of manipulation, betrayal, and deceit), thus comparing the Washington agreement to a "contract of betrayal" similar the infidelity of a Tutsi woman (Video 1, 2), ➡️ FARDC spokesperson then CALLS FOR ACTION against the designated Tutsi enemy. He says: "we need to keep our eyes open and to give the signal to begin..." ("nous devons ouvrir l'oeil et le ban"). By "we", he refers to FARDC and its coalition forces (#FDLR, Wazalendo, Mai-Mai, FDNB) and all non-Tutsi Congolese. His use of the expression "ouvrir le ban" constitutes, from a military terminology standpoint, and in the context of the DRC war, an open incitement to eliminate all Tutsi in the country. ➡️This analysis follows the notion of "DANGEROUS SPEECH" defined by speech expert Susan Benesch who has demonstrated that all the genocides have been preceded and accompanied by "dangerous speech" (which is harmful and calls for violent action against the targeted group), as opposed to hate speech (which is hurtful but not harmful). ➡️Benesch indicates that the most dangerous speech is the one pronounced by "a person of authority" who "has access to troops" in a context where the audience has been exposed, through repetition and over a period of time, to the same dehumanizing, discriminatory, harmful rhetoric against the targeted group. ➡️The FARDC spokesperson in his position of authority, under the highest command of the president of DRC Felix Tshisekedi, and owing to his "access to troops", constitutes a green light, and by extension a direct call, to all FARDC personnel and their coalition forces, as well as simple non-Tutsi Congolese civilians, TO ELIMINATE ALL the Congolese Tutsi, including infants.

Dear Félix A. Tshisekedi, We are not in 1981, and Canada is not the corrupt #DRC. In 1981, the Congolese government stripped citizenship from the entire Kinyarwanda-speaking community, and since then, the DRC has aligned with Habyarimana’s regime in its campaign to exterminate the Tutsi people. Today, the Canadian government is being misled into repeating history by targeting those who fled persecution from the DRC—a country that has persecuted and displaced hundreds of thousands of Congolese Tutsi. The regime of Tshisekedi, now failing on all fronts, has resorted to paying Congolese individuals in Ottawa to push this agenda. But Canada is well aware of who these frappeurs really are. The world is awake. Yes, I am a governor—not of terrorists, but of the Congolese people, whom you have stripped of everything while arming them to kill one another. Our movement is peaceful, governed by the rule of law, and committed to upholding human rights. In the areas we control, there is no death penalty, and communities coexist peacefully. Journalists are free to come day and night without fear of losing their accreditation for simply doing their job. Unlike Kinshasa, we do not sentence journalists to death for exposing the reality of our territories to the world. So, I ask—who is the real terrorist here?

"For peace to be possible, the #DRC government needs to ensure that all its people, including Rwandaphone Congolese, are safe and have equal opportunities and rights in the reconstruction of their country. In the same fashion, it needs to ensure that the DRC territory is not a source of threats or a safe haven for those threatening the security of its neighbours. It is unfortunate that some politicians prefer rhetorical populism which is externalizing all its problems instead of looking inwards for solutions. Without an honest comprehensive internal process that addresses security and governance challenges, the DRC will not be at peace. Even without M23, the DRC suffers from an ineffective government, with more than 100 rebel groups preying on ordinary civilians. In other words, the DRC needs to make peace with itself; it will, in turn, produce regional peace." Alphonse ✍️
