The DRC has signed a binding peace agreement with #Rwanda, demanding a verified troop withdrawal. But #Kagame’s regime has a familiar pattern: sign, violate, reframe, repeat. For 30 years, this is how the #DRCongo has been invaded five times. Without real pressure from guarantors - USA, this risks becoming...

Young man, it’s disappointing to see someone with access to information still choose ignorance. You have eyes, yet ignore what’s written; ears, yet dismiss what’s clearly said. The signed agreement is straightforward and speaks for itself. Twisting facts to fuel your bias against Rwanda’s exemplary leadership won’t change the truth it only exposes your own agenda.

put a link to the peace agreement so that everyone can read it . The only time "verifiable" is used is about FDRL. The agreement is a chance to peace.

They will withdraw. But the problem will be the security company they established.. And the number of hawkers in Goma are actually spies.. Number of pikipiki drivers are from RDF/M23 so their withdrawal will only mean they will remove uniform and disguise as civilians.

#DRC #USA Ms. Sarah Troutman (Deputy Assistant Secretary for African Affairs in DC) is answering questions from Congresswomen and -men at the hearing on the Peace Process in the DRC and the Strategic Partnership Agreement between the DRC and Rwanda. We are surprised to hear Ms. Troutman say that they have been working with civil society on the ground, while the Catholic Church (via CENCO-ECC) and other major civil society organizations have not been included in this process from the outset. Civil society organizations from conflict-affected areas are also not involved in this process. This is the major reason why the peace deal brokered by the USA has not brought peace to eastern DRC. For the DRC Peace Agreement and the Strategic Partnership Agreement with both the USA and Rwanda to be effective and meaningful, the Congolese population at the forefront of the conflicts must be involved in all stages of the process. The government of F. Tshisekedi must respect the Constitution of the DRC and not bypass parliament. We can start there !

#DRC Julius Malema on Kagame’s Betrayal of Peace in Congo: "How does a Rwandan president go all the way to the Oval Office, sit with the president of the DRC, Tshisekedi, and sign a peace agreement... then return home and continue feeding his rebel gangs in the forests of Congo? Julius Malema That’s not diplomacy. That’s deception. He signs documents in Washington while his M23 militias continue killing women and children in Uvira, Goma, and Bukavu. That’s not a peace partner — that’s a warlord in a suit. Let’s not play games: Kagame benefits from Congo’s chaos. He thrives on looted minerals, stolen lives, and silence from powerful friends. Rwanda enjoys production from rebel-held mines, while Congo buries its children. If the peace agreement means anything, then the United States, as the guarantor of that deal, must hold Rwanda accountable. Otherwise, that Oval Office photo is nothing but staged theater, while the forests of Congo burn. People are urged to stand with the people of Congo. And Rwanda must get out of Congo unconditionally.

#AGLR : How #DRC's Kayikwamba Outshines Kagame's Nduhungirehe In Diplomatic Leadership. In the world of diplomacy, leadership style is crucial in shaping a country’s global relationships. The Foreign Minister of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Therese Kayikwamba Wagner, is quickly establishing herself as a formidable diplomat, garnering respect for her strategic approach and eloquence. In contrast, Rwanda’s Foreign Minister, Olivier Nduhungirehe, has been more recognized for his combative approach, often utilizing social media to engage in online confrontations, which has led to a series of diplomatic tensions. This video compares their diplomatic approaches and examines the impact on their countries' international relations. Thérèse Kayikwamba Wagner, appointed by President Félix Tshisekedi, stands out for her calm, strategic, and diplomatic leadership. She has played a key role in improving the DRC’s international standing, particularly in volatile regions like eastern Congo. Her diplomatic style emphasizes dialogue, coalition-building, and long-term relationships. This approach has helped her project an image of stability and competence, positioning the DRC as a country with untapped potential despite its internal challenges. Kayikwamba’s leadership sharply contrasts with Nduhungirehe’s more aggressive approach. Appointed by President #PaulKagame, Nduhungirehe’s diplomatic actions often play out in the public sphere, where he engages in online spats and harsh rhetoric. This reliance on social media for diplomacy has resulted in public confrontations with neighboring countries, particularly the DRC, straining diplomatic ties and limiting Rwanda’s ability to build positive relationships with key international partners. While the DRC’s foreign minister has focused on diplomacy and fostering cooperation with neighboring countries like #Uganda and #Burundi, Olivier J.P. Nduhungirehe’s confrontational style has resulted in greater isolation for #Rwanda. His actions, particularly in times of heightened tensions, have often exacerbated issues rather than solving them. One such example was his handling of the military standoff in #Goma and #Bukavu, where his confrontational tweets only escalated the situation instead of resolving it. Kayikwamba’s diplomatic efforts have yielded significant successes for the DRC, strengthening foreign investments and securing international development support. She has also skillfully stabilized relations with regional neighbors and presented the DRC as a country with significant economic potential, especially in Central Africa. This contrasts with Rwanda, where Nduhungirehe’s aggressive foreign policy stance has led to increased diplomatic friction, particularly with the DRC, resulting in economic and trade disruptions. In Rwanda, the reliance on military power has overshadowed diplomatic efforts, with Nduhungirehe’s online confrontations often alienating countries in the region. The ongoing conflict in eastern Congo, combined with the failed diplomatic efforts, has led to economic instability, particularly in Rwanda’s border cities. Meanwhile, Kayikwamba has been able to maintain peaceful relationships and navigate the complex diplomatic landscape of Central Africa, positioning the DRC as a more stable and cooperative neighbor. In conclusion, the diplomatic differences between Kayikwamba and Nduhungirehe underline the importance of leadership in shaping international relations. While military power plays a role in national security, effective diplomacy, as demonstrated by Kayikwamba, is key to building lasting relationships and fostering economic growth. Rwanda’s approach, on the other hand, risks further isolation due to Nduhungirehe’s confrontational style. The future of both countries will largely depend on the ability to embrace diplomatic strategies that promote peace and cooperation rather than conflict. #AfricaFlashes : RDC • Affaires Etrangères 🇨🇩 Ministry of Foreign Affairs & Int'l Cooperation SADC Secretariat East African Community

CONGOLESE ABANDONED BUT $1 BILLION RAISED IN 24H FOR NOTRE-DAME? It is essential to recognise that the crisis in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has been ongoing for some time. The M23 rebel group capturing wide swaths of eastern DRC territory this month, pushing about 500,000 Congolese off their land, is just the latest escalation in a foreign-instigated proxy conflict over natural resources that has dragged on for close to 30 years since Western-backed Rwanda and Uganda forces invaded Congo in 1996, destabilising the country. DRC neighbours have since acted as a conduit for Western multinationals, like Apple and Tesla, that rely on the minerals extracted from eastern Congo. In this clip from a 2024 round-table discussion with Pan-Africanist activist and fundraiser Chakabars, he pointed out how the world has ignored the ongoing genocide in the DRC, in which we are all somehow complicit due to the devices we use. Yet, the West rallied to stump up $1 billion within days after Paris’ iconic Notre Dame Cathedral burnt down. Cultural preservation is a wonderful and essential thing, but you’d have thought human life is—or rather, millions of human lives are—a more urgent priority. As always, your input in the comments is appreciated.

Massad Boulos, the United States Senior Advisor for Africa, met with President Paul Kagame on Tuesday as part of his diplomatic tour across the Great Lakes region. During the talks at Urugwiro Village, Boulos said they discussed a shared vision for a stronger U.S.–Rwanda partnership focused on peace, stability, and economic growth. He affirmed that the United States is ready to work with Rwanda to find a lasting solution to the conflict in the eastern DRC that has persisted for three decades. “We are ready to work with Rwanda to achieve this goal, which is why finding a resolution to the conflict in eastern DRC is so essential, as it will unlock the region’s untapped potential,” he said. His visit to Kigali follows prior talks with Presidents Felix Tshisekedi of DRC, William Ruto of Kenya, and Yoweri Museveni of Uganda.

HOW THE WEST ENABLES RWANDA TO LOOT CONGO Kayumba Nyamwasa, former Rwanda Army chief of staff and head of Rwandan intelligence from 1998 to 2002, dropped a bombshell on 2 February when he told @newzroomafrika’s Aldrin Sampear that Western countries like France, the United Kingdom and the United States do not comment on Rwanda’s military operations in neighbouring countries like Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Mozambique because Rwandan companies process smuggled minerals that benefit said Western powers. The recent escalation in violence as the Rwanda- and Uganda-backed M23 militia seized mineral-rich lands in eastern DRC on its way to entering Goma city has renewed the conversation about Rwanda’s and Uganda’s roles in the foreign-instigated three-decade-long conflict over resources. How the West has ignored Rwanda’s activities contrasts sharply with sanctions imposed against Rwanda and aid cuts in 2012 that forced M23 to go underground. As early as 1998, Burundian, Rwandan, Ugandan and/or Rally for Congolese Democracy (RCD) soldiers emptied DRC warehouses. The looting remains a prominent feature across successive proxy campaigns, casting doubt on claims that Rwanda or M23 intervenes in the DRC only in the interests of marginalised Tutsis in the DRC. Since M23’s resurgence in 2021, reportedly due to Rwanda fearing isolation following increased DRC-Uganda cooperation, the militia has displaced hundreds of thousands of people in eastern DRC. Reports indicate M23 is closing in around the city of Bukavu after entering Goma on 27 January. In Rubaya, which M23 captured in 2024, the group has generated around $300,000 monthly in taxes from tantalum mining. Video credit: @newzroomafrika (X)

The United States understands that the DRC has not yet neutralised the FDLR threat; therefore, Rwanda has not been able to lift its security measures. This is simple logic: if the root cause of Rwanda’s security concerns remains unresolved, expecting Rwanda to withdraw its defensive posture without addressing that threat is unrealistic. In this context, the real spoiler should be identified by looking at the sequence of actions. The DRC’s failure to neutralise a threat perceived by Rwanda as a security risk is what continues to trigger Rwanda’s response, including maintaining its defence measures. If the objective is truly to hold spoilers of peace accountable, why sanction Rwanda for protecting itself instead of addressing the actions that created the security dilemma in the first place?

“What happened [in Goma and Bukavu] was only a fraction of what we could have done.” This warning was issued on 4 July 2025. A few weeks later, on 27 July 2025, Rwanda and the DRC signed a peace agreement, in which both parties committed to respecting each other’s territorial integrity. Under the agreement: The DRC committed to neutralising the genocidal FDLR. Rwanda committed to lifting its defensive measures, which include its security coordination with M23. Now, after refusing to neutralise the FDLR, Kinshasa feigns surprise that Rwanda has acknowledged a matter (the security coordination arrangement with M23) that was discussed and settled in the peace agreement. If the warning given earlier was not understood, then what comes next will be far more surprising.

Despite the headlines, no final peace deal has been signed between the United States and the Islamic Republic. What has been reached is an extension of the ceasefire and an agreement to continue negotiations. After the IRGC threatened further attacks, President Trump reportedly accelerated plans to lift the Strait of Hormuz blockade. As a result, the regime secured a major concession. Many are celebrating a "deal," but the conflict itself is far from over.

The world has been swallowing it for a long time, but the bitter taste gets stronger and stronger.
