There has been significant media interest in understanding why Rwanda is in Congo, why it supports the AFC/M23 militia, and what its ultimate goal is. However, this line of questioning is problematic as it erases 30 years of history, during which both Rwanda and Uganda have played a devastating...

@kambale do you know what the name « Rubaya » means? It’s a Kinyarwanda word which means « big valley ». This goes on in that whole region; the names are in Kinyarwanda and these names were there long before the mines were discovered. M23 are Kinyarwanda speaking Congolese.

You have a very clear grasp of the issues at play. Rwanda must stop hiding behind the Tutsi human rights abuse issue. They are more interested in land grab and minerals

Honestly, are Congolese like dump on purpose or you re born dump? Do you realize that with this narrative, your own homeland will NEVER see peace if you keep dodging the real issues of the Congo East? The issues which are genocide and CANNIBALISM of your fellow Congolese?

The United States has laid out how Rwanda, under Paul Kagame, is a spoiler to peace. How will Washington hold Paul Kagame to account in light of this? In his address to the United Nations, US Ambassador Mike Waltz said Rwanda has strategic control of its proxy militia M23 and its political wing AFC, and uses them to achieve its geopolitical goals in Congo. "Kigali has been intimately involved in planning and executing the war in eastern DRC, providing military and political direction to M23 forces and AFC for years now. The Rwandan Defense Forces have provided material, logistics and training support to M23 as well as fighting alongside the M23 in DRC with roughly 5-7,000 troops as of early December.." Waltz said Rwanda has deployed multiple surface-to-air missiles and other heavy sophisticated weaponry in North and South Kivu to aid M23, and in the latest offensive against Uvira, Rwandan forces were present with M23 along the front lines. The US also has credible reports of the increased use of suicide drones, of artillery by Rwanda and M23, and their strikes into Burundi. "So rather than a march towards peace, Rwanda is leading the region towards increased instability and war."

President President Donald J. Trump. Congratulations for everything you are doing for the Congo by stopping the Rwandan aggression. On the ground, Rwanda and its Merde23 AFC auxiliaries continue to kill and wage war in order to boycott not only the agreement in principle signed between Congo and Rwanda, but also the future deal between the USA and Congo. Serial killer Paul Kagame is taking advantage of the deal between Rwanda and the USA on welcoming illegal immigrants from the USA to Rwanda in order to continue to perpetrate war crimes in the Congo. More than 10 million Congolese have been massacred by Rwanda and recently terrorists Merde23 AFC and RDF continue to kill civilians. This is unacceptable. Serial killer Paul Kagame must be neutralized so that peace can reign in the Great Lakes region and this will secure American investments and businesses.

Diplomatic Checkmate Against the Kigali Regime. (Full video of Michael Waltz's intervention). Very harsh statements from the United States Ambassador to the UN, Mike Waltz, against the Kigali regime, during the emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council on the situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). In his speech, he firmly condemns Rwanda for its direct support to the M23, explicitly states that Rwandan troops (Rwandan Defence Forces, RDF) are deployed alongside the M23 rebels in eastern Congo (notably in Uvira, South Kivu), and describes this as deliberate sabotage of the peace agreements recently signed in Washington. He mentions recent field evidence, including the use of surface-to-air missiles by Rwandan forces and strategic involvement in planning offensives. Waltz states that the United States will use “all tools at its disposal” to hold Rwanda accountable and demands an immediate withdrawal of Rwandan troops from Congolese territory. Some excerpts: “Since its re-emergence in 2021, Rwanda has had strategic control of its proxy armed group M23 as well as the political wing of M23, the Congo River Alliance or AFC, and has deployed M23 and the AFC to achieve Rwanda's geopolitical objectives.” “In eastern DRC, Kigali has been intimately involved in the planning and execution of the war in eastern DRC, providing military and political direction to M23 forces and the AFC.” “For years, the Rwandan Defence Forces have provided materiel, logistical support, and training to M23 as well as participation in combat alongside M23 in DRC with approximately 5,000 to 7,000 soldiers as of early December.” “Not counting possible Rwandan military reinforcements in this most recent advance.” “We have credible reports of increased use of suicide drones.” “Increased use of artillery by M23 and Rwanda” “including strikes in Burundi.” “We will use the tools at our disposal to hold peace saboteurs accountable.” “We call on Rwanda to respect its commitments and to further recognize the government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo's right to defend its territory and its sovereign right to invite Burundian forces onto its territory.” “The fact that UN peacekeepers are besieged by forces supported by a Member State that itself contributes troops to peacekeeping missions is, frankly, a sad hypocrisy...”

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)

🚨 🚨HARD STOP - No integration of M23 into the DRC military any more than we would have integration of ANTIFA into the US Military. —M23 is supported by Rwanda. —M23 is Rwanda in drag. Integrating Rwanda-supported M23 into DRC military weakens sovereignty, increases probability of insurrection, and fosters an unstable security force in Congo.

Rwanda🇷🇼 now admits it works with #M23 as part of its "Defensive Measures' in #DRC🇨🇩. "Rwanda does engage in security coordination with AFC/M23", Rwanda's Ambassador to the U.S., Mathilde Mukantabana, tells the U.S. Ambassador Mukantabana says "Rwanda and AFC/M23 share a common interest in protecting Tutsi in DRC from the FDLR and other FARDC-backed extremist militias" and that her country's "interest extends beyond this: to prevent another genocidal cross-border insurgency, like in the late 1990s, that could threaten Rwanda’s very existence." She adds, "Our actions are narrowly focused on protecting the people of Rwanda by preventing cross-border genocidal threats. Rwanda’s defensive measures will adjust as the level of threat reduces,." On the implementation of the Washington Accords, she says, "Rwanda commits to a phased, simultaneous, and independently verified drawdown of its security coordination measures with AFC/M23, in direct proportion to FDLR disarmament milestones,".

#TRANSCRIBED The U.S. warned that it is going to use “tools at its disposal” to hold Rwanda accountable, a "spoilers to peace”, referring to both Rwanda and M23. READ THE FULL TRANSCRIPT OF THE UNITED STATES' DURING TODAY'S UN SECURITY COUNCIL MEETING The United States is profoundly concerned and deeply disappointed by the renewed outbreak of violence in Eastern DRC. Today, I want to share additional information on the scale and sophistication of Rwanda’s involvement in the region. Since its re-emergence in 2021, Rwanda has maintained strategic control over its proxy armed group, M23, as well as M23’s political wing, the Congo River Alliance, also known as the AFC. Rwanda has deployed M23 and the AFC to further its geopolitical ambitions in Eastern DRC. Kigali has been directly involved in planning and executing the war, providing both military and political direction to M23 and the AFC. For years, the Rwandan Defence Forces (RDF) have supplied material, logistical, and training support to M23, and have fought alongside them in the DRC with approximately 5,000 to 7,000 troops as of early December — not accounting for any additional deployments during the recent escalation. In recent months, Rwanda has deployed multiple surface-to-air missile systems and other heavy, sophisticated weaponry into North and South Kivu to support M23 in its ongoing conflict with the DRC. Just this past weekend, M23 and Rwandan forces launched an offensive to seize Uvira, with RDF forces co-located on the frontlines with M23 fighters. We also have credible reports of increased use of suicide drones and artillery by both M23 and Rwanda, including artillery strikes into Burundi. Rather than a march toward peace — as seen in recent weeks under the leadership of President Trump through the Washington Accords — Rwanda is instead dragging the region back into greater instability and war. In light of the commitments made in Washington, we are deeply concerned about the continued presence of Rwandan military forces on Congolese soil in support of M23. The United States will use every tool at our disposal to hold accountable the spoilers of peace. We call on Rwanda to uphold its commitments and to fully recognize the Democratic Republic of Congo’s sovereign right to defend its territory, including the right to invite Burundian forces onto its land in response to aggression. We are engaging with all parties to urge restraint and to prevent further escalation — including calling for an end to hostile and ethnically charged anti-Tutsi rhetoric. As this Council continues to negotiate the renewal of the MONUSCO mandate, the United States will seek to ensure that the mission is empowered to support both the Doha and Washington agreements. While the parties themselves bear full responsibility for implementing these agreements, MONUSCO must have the freedom and capability to operate — including unimpeded mobility and logistical support. It is a sad hypocrisy that UN peacekeepers are under siege from forces backed by a UN member state — a state which also contributes troops to peacekeeping missions. The months-long M23 blockade on MONUSCO has severely impaired its ability to operate in and around Goma, as many have highlighted today. Furthermore, Rwanda continues to deploy surface-to-air missiles and conducts spoofing and jamming operations, effectively grounding MONUSCO’s air assets. Under such conditions, how can MONUSCO succeed? We demand the immediate cessation of these obstructions, which violate Rwanda’s and M23’s obligations under the Doha and Washington Agreements. The United States remains firm in its support for MONUSCO and its critical role in realizing these historic agreements, which we believe hold the potential to finally end decades of suffering in Eastern DRC.

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?

“This war in Congo, people have tried to make it Rwanda’s war, but it is not Rwanda’s war. Rwanda did not start this war; rather, what those who started it wanted, is what we are fighting against. And that is what I am going to explain to you. This war has its origins in the history I just mentioned. Some people who are called Rwandans found themselves on the other side of the borders that define Rwanda today. It was not Rwanda that took them there. Rwanda did not move Rwandans to Kisoro in Uganda. Rwanda did not move Rwandans to Masisi, Rutshuru, and other places. Rwanda did not take them there. Now, for those who found themselves there, if the governments of those countries want to tell them, ‘Get up and go back to where you belong, to Rwanda,’ if that is their decision, then they should expel them along with the land they live on, and remain with only what belongs to them. If you claim to act in truth or seek peace, as all people do, then you must respect people’s rights. Without a doubt, when you deny people their rights, they will fight for them, that is the fire I was talking about. And when you drag Rwandans into this situation and blame Rwanda because these other countries do not want the people who are there, what do you expect us to do? We will stand up for ourselves .” President Kagame | #KwegeraAbaturage

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.

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.

#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.

📍 Democratic Republic of Congo This is the legacy of President Tshisekedi of Congo. While he's busy arming and training the FDLR, his country continues to deteriorate, and he blames other nations like Rwanda, Kenya, and Uganda. Congo is rich, but due to poor leadership, the country has been in a deep hole. Who will save Congo? That's the question everyone is asking!

VIDEO: In Uvira, Wazalendo militias present $200,000 in cash they claim was given to them by former President Joseph Kabila to allow M23 rebels to seize control of the town near #Burundi’s border. This public display underscores allegations of high-level collusion in the conflict. Kabila’s suspected financial and political backing of M23, a rebel group linked to Rwanda and accused of war crimes and mass displacement, points to a deliberate strategy of destabilization. The AFC, a Rwanda-aligned coalition that includes M23, has repeatedly targeted civilians, looted towns, and forcibly recruited youth / Children - actions amounting to grave breaches of international humanitarian law. The alleged involvement of Kabila and the Rwandan state apparatus raises urgent accountability questions amid growing evidence of coordinated efforts to dismantle state authority in eastern DR Congo.
