Rwanda is and has always been a Nation State from its conception. There has never been any “tribes” inside that nation, only One Nation of the Banyarwanda. The misconception on Rwanda (and Burundi btw) doesn’t date from yesterday. The colonial narratives about the “Natives” has deeply perverted post-colonial legacy....

@Rukundoinnoce15 Well said @albcontact, I don’t think history teaches them anything, unfortunately.

Think about this : Rwanda is in conflict with Burundi, Congo and Tanzania. The next steps for us will be to definitely isolate the security threat from Rwanda. And we will get there. It may take time, but we will get there sure. The biggest losers will be you guys, arrogant today

My deepest regret is in 10 years, ordinary rwandan citizens will not be welcome in Congo anymore, while they fetch their living there. And no opposition voice is allowed on the M23. Rwandans are suffering from this but the oppressor is stronger, they cannot utter any objection

Like all Africans and beyond, I am deeply saddened by the situation in the Eastern Congo. I want to pass my condolences to South Africa on the death of its soldiers who have died in pursuit of peace in the DRC, and everyone who has been killed by this crisis. Today I took time to understand the issues and the root cause of the Great Lakes crisis, you can’t understand it all in a day. I am not an expert on the Great Lakes, but I found two insightful videos featuring Tanzania’s founding father, Mwalimu Julius Nyerere, and former South African President Thabo Mbeki explaining it. Both leaders were actively involved in efforts to address the Great Lakes issue, with Nyerere engaging as far back as 1992 and earlier. The problem can be traced back to 1885 during the Berlin Conference, where Africa was partitioned among European colonial powers and borders were drawn regardless of ethnic sensitivities. Belgium, the colonial power in the DRC, and Germany, the colonial power in Rwanda, drew borders that divided the Rwandan Kingdom, incorporating parts of it into what is now the DRC. As a result of this partitioning, the Banyarwanda (including the Banyamulenge) ended up living on both sides of the border—in Rwanda and the DRC. Just like the Tswanas in South Africa and Botswana. Despite being Zairean (Congolese) citizens, the Banyarwanda in the DRC were often treated as foreigners by successive Congolese governments, and they faced significant discrimination. The situation worsened after the Tutsi genocide in Rwanda in 1994 which was carried out by the Hutus, when perpetrators of the genocide fled into the DRC, particularly to areas where Congolese Banyarwanda lived. These perpetrators formed a militia called the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR). The FDLR, which opposes the current Rwandan government, was later incorporated into the Congolese army, causing Rwanda to view their presence in Eastern Congo as a significant security threat. Rwanda objected to the persecution of the Congolese Banyarwanda by the Congolese Government and the FDLR in the DRC. Rwanda’s said its involvement in the DRC is rooted in its efforts to neutralise the FDLR and protect its national security, as well as to address the marginalisation of the Banyarwanda in Eastern Congo. However, this involvement has also sparked significant controversy and accusations of resource exploitation and destabilisation by the DRC. The M23 (March 23 Movement) originated from the National Congress for the Defence of the People (CNDP), a Tutsi-led rebel group in the DRC that operated in the mid-2000s. The CNDP was mainly focused on protecting the rights of Congolese Tutsis (Banyarwanda) who faced discrimination and violence, particularly after the 1994 Rwandan Genocide. Reports by Human Rights Watch in October 2022 revealed that the Congolese military supported the FDLR in their military operations against the M23 rebel group. At the same time, the Congolese government has accused Rwanda of supporting the M23 militarily. Currently the conflict involves the M23 and the Congolese army, with the DRC accusing Rwanda of deploying its troops on Congolese soil. As Nyerere points out in the video, the Zairean government stripped the Banyarwanda in the Congo of their citizenship, rendering them stateless. However, they are Congolese due to the colonial borders. What is clear is that this crisis is not an overnight problem, it has been there for decades, long before both Presidents Paul Kagame and Félix Tshisekedi were in power. What is lacking is leadership from the region and the continent to help both countries resolve this crisis once and for all. It is like a volcano that has been erupting periodically, the crisis is crying out for a modern day Nyerere or Mbeki. It is now unrealistic to expect Presidents Kagame and Tshisekedi to invite each other for coffee, it needs someone with gravitas to invite them. This crisis has no military solution except dialogue.

Zulu dance from South Africa 🇿🇦. Base on their clothings proves that In pre-colonial worldview, many traditional African women were always half-naked with less care in the world as such has been their life. Being ashamed of one's body began with the teachings of Christianity and the colonial school system, life styles, introduction of sex through media, Hollywood and such.

The Burundian government has been sheltering and supporting the #FDLR/#interahamwe (the genocidal force responsible for the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda), enabling #FDLR to carry out the ongoing ethnic cleansing of Congolese Tutsi (Banyamulenge) in the South Kivu. This collaboration between #FDLR and #Burundi is not only emphasized in today's press conference by #M23's president Bertrand Bisimwa, but has been the result of my own field work in the Masisi, illustrated by the total destruction of the #Nturo village, in October 2023, where 300 homes belonging to Congolese Tutsi were burned to the ground under the supervision of the Burundian army. Bertrand Bisimwa calls here for Burundian troops to withdraw and to cease participating in an entreprise of ethnic cleansing and spread of anti-Tutsi genocide ideology. Congo, Burundi and Rwanda, borderlands that have collectively inherited the painful legacy of colonial violence at the hands of Belgium, can only achieve lasting peace through unity and reconciliation, and by fighting in solidarity against genocide ideology.

🎯Why the Congo was created, and why Rwanda and Burundi had to be destroyed Burundian Professor Rugambarara offers invaluable insights into the colonial project of divide and rule, which continues to make thousands of victims today in the Great Lakes region. He begins by reminding us that the Congo, unlike other African colonies, was created at the 1885 Berlin Conference as an “Independent State” under King Leopold II of Belgium. To make colonization easier, powerful pre-colonial kingdoms within that newly created state were deliberately broken apart. The Bakongo Kingdom, for example, was divided among different colonial powers. That is why its people today are dispersed across Congo-Brazzaville, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Angola. Congo, this mammoth territory, was then designed to serve as the base of operations for colonial powers, their economic rear base, their pré carré, if you will. It has largely remained so ever since. However, surrounding Congo were two centuries-old kingdoms that represented a serious threat to the colonial project: Rwanda and Burundi. These kingdoms had defeated Arab slave traders. They were too organized, too coherent in identity, and too deeply rooted to be dismantled all at once. They were not colonies but protectorates, having signed treaties with the Germans. The process of subjugation was therefore gradual, and bloodier in Burundi than in Rwanda. In short, the colonialists decided to destroy them slowly. The first step was territorial amputation. Territories were taken away to reduce their size and, more importantly, to weaken their main source of power: their population. As two of the most populous and organized societies in Central Africa, it was necessary to depopulate them, both to weaken them politically and to supply labor elsewhere. Rwanda lost territory to what is today Uganda and the DRC. Burundi lost territory to what is now Tanzania and the DRC. The second phase of destruction involved ideology. Colonial powers manufactured divisions that would poison these societies for decades, creating “ethnicities” out of thin air, the so-called Hamites and Bantus. (Hans Meyer’s book Die Barundi: Eine völkerkundliche Studie aus Deutsch-Ostafrika) The colonialists also understood that these once-powerful kingdoms would forever remain obstacles to their project of exploiting Africa. Today, President Paul Kagame, as the man who reunified Rwandans, represents that threat reborn. As long as Rwanda and Burundi, ancient nation-states, remained divided internally and antagonistic toward each other, the exploitation of Congo could continue without resistance. That is why Burundi, as a tribalized and weakened state, can do no wrong in the eyes of the system: it poses no danger. Rwanda, however, is too dangerous an example, especially if its nation-building model of were to be emulated by others, such as the AFC/M23, which today is attempting to forge a Congolese identity in the aftermath of decades of discrimination, much like Rwanda did after the genocide against the Tutsi. Therefore, Rwanda must be destroyed. And so must any attempt to unite Congolese people beyond imposed divisions. Divide and rule remains the model. We are still their guinea pigs, until we decide to say no! Watch the entire episode here:

Rwanda 🇷🇼 Today October 1st marks the 35th Anniversary of the start of the Liberation Struggle of Rwanda by the FPR-Inkotanyi’s APR army. The Liberation struggle was against a comprador regime installed by the Belgian authorities, which had abused their mandate given to them, first by the League of Nation in 1918 and later by the United Nations 🇺🇳, to administer Rwanda under the “Protectorate Rule”… which resulted in the attempt to divide the Rwandan Nation, a millennial nation, which saw the first “anti Tutsi” pogroms, acts of Genocide, and resulted into chasing hundreds of thousands of Rwandans into exile. The very first African refugees before even the independences of the African continent. Belgium and later France supported the post colonial comprador regimes which were founded on segregation and the refusal for the refugees to return into their homes in their motherland. After more than 3 decades in exile, only the option of the armed struggle was left for the refugees which started October 1st 1990 and lasted 4 years, till the genocidal forces got defeated by July 1994. The armed struggle was only the beginning of the Transformational Journey of Rwanda which saw the emergence of a reunited Nation, a leading progressive and PanAfrican Nation on the African continent.

Prof. Steve Keen on IMF: Asia Learned To Break Away, It's Time Africa Did The Same For decades, Africa's relationship with the IMF has been characterised by a familiar cycle of debt, economic dependency, deindustrialisation, and poverty. As country after country has fallen into the trap of faithfully following the "advice" of the IMF, Africa's economic numbers tell a very clear story about what results such obedience has brought the continent. In this November 2025 interview with Going Underground, Australian Economist Prof. Steve Keen plainly addressed the elephant in the room - that Africa must as a matter of urgency, end its relationship with the IMF if it intends to grow economically just as South Asia did in the aftermath of the 1997 Asian economic crisis. While this is by no means new or groundbreaking information, it is a useful reminder that the same predatory colonial structures that were highlighted by some of Africa's greatest revolutionary thinkers of the 20th century remain active today, and are still delivering on their core remit of maintaining Africa in artificial poverty for the benefit of the western empire. In 2026 as in 1960, the solution remains political revolution and a total break with all colonial and neo-colonial institutions, systems, and power structures.

European settler land theft best explained by Mqabuko Nkomo. He is even more diplomatic in regurgitating the British coined phrase " land question ". We are very clear as Africans about our land, it is only European colonial settlers who have got questions about us owning our land because white supremacy cannot reconcile itself with the reality of Africans being human and owners of African land. Using the negotiated settlements, European colonial settlers categorized land as a property under Bill of Rights to protect white privilege and land theft. Also, the European settlers have mastered the art of hiding their ills behind black bishops, which bring about the theme of the church being a colonial tool meant to hoodwink Africans into jamming to the colonial hyms and whims on things at the heart of our existence, on land. Roman Catholic Church, Anglican Church, and Methodist Chruch have been central to the protection of colonial privileges in Africa.

PUTIN (2022?): "To a great extent, the level of prosperity that has been achieved in former colonial powers is grounded in the robbery of Africa, built on the grief and suffering of African people... Robbing and slavery, all of this has to be shown and taught as this is a crucial part of world history; to simply close the chapter on it is impossible and shouldn't be done. In the same way how the world should never forget what the Nazis did."

How British Colonial Rule Entrenched Greed and Corruption in Africa’s Ruling Class Talks about corruption and greed characterizing Africa's ruling elite have dominated conversation over the decades that have followed the flag independence for most African countries. But what remains less talked about is where these leaders draw inspiration from. Kenyan Lawyer, Miguna Miguna, in this video highlights this missing part of the conversation. Although he speaks specifically about the British colonial legacy in Kenya, which practically passed down the elite enrichment models like state capture and rent seeking to the Rotu’s and Raila’s of today, the same can be said for the rest of the continent where such rule was experienced. Aside from the inhumane treatment of the locals and the appropriation of resources, one damaging legacy of colonial rule was the system of indirect rule. This model of control operated through local chiefs rather than a centralized state. Through this system, local chiefs were granted unchecked authority, elevating them beyond accountability to their own people and answerable only to the colonial masters. Unfortunately, this system was learned and internalized within almost every power structure in Africa and has managed to be kept alive till date. Whether in Kenya, Nigeria, Uganda or Zambia, the pattern is the same: African leaders do not consider themselves servants who are accountable to the people from whom their authority is derived, they rather answer to powers in London, Washington DC, Brussels or Paris. So when people talk about corruption among Africa’s ruling elites while ignoring the very legacy that entrenched it, they only reinforce their unreadiness to genuinely confront the problem on the continent.

With Angelina Jolie’s visit to the Rafah border crossing highlighting the aid that is barred from entering Gaza because of the Israeli military blockade… it’s important to remember that this has been the situation for Gaza for over two years during this genocide. I took this video on approach to the Rafah border in Feb 2024 where kilometres upon kilometres of aid trucks have been held up unnecessarily by the Israeli military. Many trucks would later have their goods expire, only to be dumped at the Egyptian side of the border never to enter Gaza. It has also been a longstanding Israeli policy, since the illegal blockade on Gaza began in 2007, to limit food aid as a weapon of warfare against the entire population of Gaza, by making calculations of daily caloric intake needed to avoid malnutrition effectively putting the entire population of Gaza on a diet imposed by the Israeli military. Food is a human right. The use of starvation as a weapon of war is a colonial tactic used time and time again, including on Indigenous Peoples in the settler colonial state of Canada. These practices must end. It’s a crime against our collective humanity.

WHAT you’re looking at is the 30,000 capacity Niamey stadium in the capital of Niger Republic, filled to overflowing with defiant and jubilant citizens who cheered and praised the new military leadership of that country as “saviors” who delivered them from the CURSE of colonial France! So, rather than military intervention, what happened in Niger today, upon the expiration of ECOWAS’ ultimatum can best be described as “Independence Carnival” - a new independence that celebrated a new partnership with RUSSIA - one in which Africa potentially feels like a partner and not a slave, evident in the number of Russian and Nigerien flags present at the epochal event. Again, France has been played and left out in the cold, on the continent of AFRICA. If France hasn’t been able to read the handwriting on the wall in AFRICA at this time, it should consult an oracle. I think it’s over. Not just for France but for the highly exploitative colonial west, in AFRICA. It’s really over. Only a matter of time before the rest of the old house comes crumbling. Viva AFRICA!

“I have been around long enough to remember as many countries in this Hall finally acceded to their independence and became member of the United Nations. The Palestinian people have stood at the doorstep for far too long — awaiting our turn, pursuing a legitimate struggle for liberation against an anachronistic ill. This injustice must end. The Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples states, and I quote, that the process of liberation is “irresistible and irreversible.” The time for Palestine’s freedom is long overdue.” State of Palestine statement at the High-level Plenary Meeting to Commemorate the 65th Anniversary of the Declaration of the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples.

For too long, we have been distracted by reductive debates about whether the blasphemy law is “Islamic” or not, ignoring the actual substance of the law, its reasoning, its motivations, its genealogy, all of which are colonial impositions that have radically disfigured our tradition. It is time to create our own field of conversation, to open up public discourse. This episode makes the case that Pakistan’s blasphemy law is a bidʿah, an (colonial) innovation that transformed the way theological difference has historically been expressed, debated and adjudicated among Muslims. This bidʿah has replaced centuries of legal reasoning with a model based on individual “hurt sentiment”; a concept entirely foreign to classical jurisprudence. “Blasphemy” is no longer judged based on the meaning and intent of something; it has become a matter of how offended someone feels. This episode travels back a few hundred years and compares two cases of intra-Muslim conflict that involved “majrooh jazbaat” (wounded sentiments), demonstrating that where once ikhtilāf was a rehmat for the ummah, the colonial project has turned it into a lanat. #talkabout295C

BANNED FILM ON AFRICAN TREASURES In 1970, Ghanaian filmmaker Nii Kwate Owoo exposed the British Museum's hidden realities in "You Hide Me." He revealed not just history but a cover-up involving thousands of African artefacts; masks, bronzes, and sacred objects, stored in underground vaults, taken during colonial conquests from regions such as the Benin and Asante kingdoms. Catalogued and numbered for academic scrutiny, they have been extensively studied, yet remain hardly seen by the public. The film does more than document; it confronts and challenges the idea that these objects are being 'preserved' when, in reality, they remain far removed from the people who created them. Just a year after its release, the film was banned in Ghana, dismissed as 'anti-British'. But the attempt to suppress it only amplified its message, and what was meant to be buried instead echoed across borders. Control of the cultural narrative has always been a central weapon in the colonial arsenal. By stealing artefacts, ancient statues, artwork, and other material heritage, the defining characteristics of a people's past, colonial powers deliberately severed colonised peoples from the sense of national cohesion and groundedness that such heritage provides. While anti-colonial struggle must certainly address material needs, shedding the shackles of colonialism also requires confronting the immaterial: the restoration of dignity, memory, and identity. As Amílcar Cabral declared: "The liberation struggle is a cultural revolution. It is not only a struggle against the colonial regime, but also against the colonialist mentality that has been imposed on our people. We must decolonise our minds." More than five decades later, the question at the heart of Owoo’s film still stands—unresolved and urgent. Why are the cultural and spiritual inheritances of Africa still held behind glass or hidden underground in institutions built on empire?

Lana gets ATTACKED for speaking her view as a native Tibetan Chinese. These are her words paraphrased: What’s the real difference between the liberation of Xinjiang and Western colonialism? Let me set the record straight and school the people shamelessly projecting their own crimes onto China. This slander ends here. First, Xinjiang has been part of China since the 13th century. Western narratives try to bury that history, but the records and history books don’t lie. The liberation campaign targeted only the tiny minority — roughly 5-10% — of nobles and serf owners who oppressed the people. The common folk and original local leaders were never the enemy. By contrast, colonial powers raped, burned, pillaged, and massacred indiscriminately across the lands they conquered. Women, children, commoners, and elites — no one was spared. Second, the liberation of Tibetan areas (including parts of Sichuan) was just one chapter in China’s nationwide drive. It wasn’t only ethnic Tibetans who gained freedom. The PLA fought landlords across the entire country to emancipate the peasantry. That’s exactly why the card game Dou Dizhu — “Fight the Landlord” — exists. Third, ask the real question: Did these colonial powers ever unleash that level of brutality on their own people, on their own soil? Never. They sailed across oceans to do it to indigenous populations on other continents. They never treated their own the same way. Fourth, the PLA was never made up solely of Han soldiers, and the CPC has never been an exclusively Han organization. We don’t frame the liberation as “Han people coming to save the Tibetans.” That’s not how it was. The PLA is the people’s army. A far cry from colonial forces. How dare anyone draw that parallel? Fifth, after seizing lands through bloody conquest, colonial powers systematically erased indigenous languages and cultures. To this day, few remember the Aztecs by their original identity — they’re called Latinos, a colonial label, and their descendants speak only Spanish. Here in China, every ethnic group still has its native language and culture. Yes, some dialects (even certain Han ones like Cantonese) face pressure and decline — but that’s not the same as deliberate colonial erasure, and they still receive attention and space. Sixth, Tibetans still make up over 80% of Xizang’s (Tibet’s) population today. Indigenous peoples make up roughly 1% of the population in the United States — and English is the dominant language. Colonial powers have never paid meaningful reparations for their atrocities. Instead they project, deflect, and whine. Every nation built on colonial bloodshed will face its karmic reckoning. Those powers accumulated their wealth through centuries of primitive plunder and then rebranded it as “civilization,” “investment,” and “prosperity.” Now they complain about migration. If you hate immigration that much, maybe you shouldn’t have colonized in the first place. The hypocrisy is nauseating. Retribution is coming. Anyone in a former colonial nation with even a shred of honesty can see that mainstream Western media and history textbooks lost all credibility the moment they refused to face their own crimes and pay reparations. Five centuries of exploitative prosperity are drawing to a close. Justice will prevail in the end. Just wait and see.

In my video interview in the North Kivu province with #M23 spokesperson (video credit to TEDDY MAZINA), Lawrence KANYUKA explains how genocide ideology — brought by the Interahamwe who committed the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, and who reorganized as #FDLR in Congo — has led to the 30-year long targeting of the Tutsi communities, or those who "look like Tutsi" in DRC. He explained that the violence and insecurity created in Eastern Congo by the genocidal force #FDLR, which has been integrated into the national army #FARDC, and which receives the operational and logistical support of both MONUSCO and #SADC, is one of the principal root causes of the conflict.

🇸🇾 Syria President Assad: "We are not dealing with a State in the legal sense, but rather with an outlaw colonial entity. We are not dealing with people in the civilized sense, but rather with herds of settlers that are closer to barbarism than to humanity. The problem is not that the current colonial extremist government has lost its mind... They all have the same ideological mind. A mind that is sick with bloodshed, sick with the delusion of superiority, a mind afflicted with schizophrenia between hating Nazism abstractly and loving it as an organic part of itself in practice."
