[Douglas G Kabunda 🇨🇩 @DougGasore]

You continue justifying the government’s actions while avoiding one simple thing: condemning the DRC government for bombing its own citizens.

If military action is your justification, why hasn’t the government resorted to bombing civilian communities in Ituri, where armed groups such as CODECO and the ADF have massacred Hema civilians?

No government is above international law, and civilians must never be collectively punished for the actions of armed groups.

Why is it so difficult for you, as former prosecutor, to condemn the bombing of civilians instead of shifting blame onto the victims? Is your commitment to justice selective?

A Monsieur le Vice Premier Ministre et Ministre des Affaires Étrangères du Royaume de Belgique @prevotmaxime

Nous avions apprécié votre réaction du 28 Décembre 2025 contre les propos extrémistes et raciaux envers les Tutsi et surtout nos soeurs Tutsi du Général Sylvain Ekenge, alors porte-parole des FARDC.

Nous attendons votre réaction comme celle du 28 Décembre 2025 avec la réhabilitation de ce même Général dans les mêmes fonctions de porte-parole des FARDC depuis le 25 Septembre 2026.

Voici notre réaction entant organizations des Tutsi Congolais vivants dans la diaspora.

En voici le communiqué attaché et apprécieront de votre réponse sur ce sujet grave qui nous rappelle les anciens propos des génocidaires au Rwanda dans les années 1990.

This recent heartbreaking documentary by @nmuhamiriza tells a devastating story of the destruction left behind by waves of systematic attacks on Banyamulenge civilians and civilian infrastructure in Minembwe.

A coalition involving DRC government forces, Burundian forces, Wazalendo, and FDLR has used heavy weapons, drones, and fighter jets to strike areas where Banyamulenge families lived, worshipped, sent their children to school, and where mothers brought their babies into the world.

Please watch Noella’s 1st documentary interview. Share it. Bear witness. Let the world see what has happened and continues to happe in #Minembwe.

“Les forts font ce qu’ils peuvent et les faibles subissent ce qu’ils doivent.”

Cette phrase froide, écrite il y a près de vingt-cinq siècles par Thucydide dans le Dialogue des Méliens, n’a rien perdu de sa vérité. Elle décrit un monde où le droit ne pèse vraiment que lorsque les forces s’équilibrent. En l’absence de cette égalité, le plus fort impose sa volonté et le plus faible n’a qu’à endurer. La justice devient alors un luxe réservé à ceux qui ont les moyens de la faire respecter.

Lors de la 22ᵉ commémoration du génocide des réfugiés #Banyamulenge à #Gatumba, un conseil a été répété avec insistance: “Cherchez la force et la justice vous sera rendue.”

Ce n’est pas un appel à la violence. C’est la reconnaissance lucide de la loi que Thucydide avait déjà formulée. Pendant trop longtemps, les #Banyamulenge ont subi ce que subissent les faibles: génocides, déplacements, silence international, justice différée ou refusée. #Gatumba n’est pas seulement un crime; c’est l’illustration tragique de ce que devient un peuple lorsqu’il n’a plus la capacité de se faire entendre autrement que par la plainte.

Le conseil entendu lors de la commémoration de Gatumba inverse la logique de la résignation. Il ne dit pas que la force remplace la justice. Il dit que, dans le monde tel qu’il est, la justice a besoin de force pour cesser d’être une pétition et devenir une réalité. Sans capacité de peser, diplomatiquement, politiquement, économiquement, intellectuellement, et aussi en termes de cohésion et de résilience collective, le droit reste lettre morte.

Thucydide décrivait un monde sans illusion. Le message de #Gatumba, vingt-deux ans après le carnage, n’est pas une capitulation devant ce monde. C’est une décision de ne plus y rester à genoux. Chercher la force, c’est refuser que le destin des #Banyamulenge soit indéfiniment celui des faibles qui subissent. C’est faire en sorte que, un jour, le droit ne soit plus seulement invoqué, mais enfin écouté.

Car tant que l’on reste faible, on continue de subir.

Et tant que l’on subit, la justice demeure un vœu.

Ceci est just une propagande et un discours de haine.

✅ Fact #1: Cette femme a clairement déclaré qu’elle venait du Canada, et non du Rwanda(tuna ba master nayo ba FDLR or Utugara, @michombero bayebisayo soki oyebi kinyamulenge te)

✅ Fact #2: Mahoro Peace Association (MPA) n’a aucun membre au Canada. Associer faussement cette maman à MPA est une désinformation délibérée(MPA , YARA BAHAHAMUYE)

✅ Fact #3: Les Banyamulenge sont Congolais. Comme tout autre citoyen congolais, ils ont le droit de rentrer chez eux, d’y vivre, d’y travailler, de rendre visite à leurs familles et de reconstruire leurs communautés dans la paix( Bolinga bo linga bolinga te)

Minembwe, Rurambo, Bibogobogo, Indondo, sera reconstruit, Tena Itajengwa na sisi wenyewe.

La peur et la désinformation n’effaceront jamais les droits constitutionnels des citoyens congolais à reconstruire leur pays.

🚨 URGENT APPEAL FOR MINEMBWE — CONTINUE READING

@marcorubio @StateDept @US_SrAdvisorAF

As the Joint Oversight Committee welcomes new commitments to peace and expresses concern over drone strikes on civilians and the worsening humanitarian crisis in eastern DRC, the reality on the ground tells a different story.

While agreements are being signed to give the Banyamulenge and other civilians in Minembwe a chance to live in peace and dignity, violence continues unabated.

According to local sources, FARDC, together with Burundian forces, FDLR, and Wazalendo militias, continue attacks on Banyamulenge villages. Hospitals and civilian infrastructure have reportedly been damaged, and lifesaving medications stored in medical facilities destroyed—leaving mothers, newborn babies, the elderly, and the wounded without the care they desperately need.

Peace is not achieved through signatures alone. It is achieved when bombs stop falling, hospitals are protected, humanitarian aid reaches those in need, and civilians can live without fear.

The people of Minembwe are pleading for urgent humanitarian assistance and meaningful protection. The international community must ensure that the commitments made at the negotiating table are reflected in the lives of those trapped by the violence. Lives cannot wait.

As we enter into the 100 days of Kwibuka 32 to remember the 1994 Rwandan Genocide Against the Tutsi I counsel the world to remember that genocide ideology did not die. In fact, that dark spiritual institutional sin of violence based on race, religion, or ethnicity has lived in the human heart since the beginning of time. Just when we think humanity has overcome our depravity, it arises again. In recent human history it has lived in place such as the the Turkish purge of the Armenian people, the Jewish Holocaust, and the destruction of Native Americans during America's westward expansion.

In Africa genocide ideology shifted locations to the Democratic Republic of Congo. You can see the fruit of genocide ideology any place in which Banyamulenge refugees have scattered around the world. Their churches meet every Sunday in scattered refugee settlements in Africa, Europe, and North America. One will always be struck by the beauty of their worship and joy in their hospitality. Yet, if one chooses to listen, the stories of violent persecution and flight are the common narrative.

The Banyamulenge abroad have a uniting organization called Mahoro Peace Association. They are active on X / Twitter and easy to follow. Please take the time to follow their news and perspective. If you really do believe #NeverAgain you should listen to their voices and be their advocates.

If you think they and I are just speaking nonsense just go to our X / Twitter account and look at the responses that come in every time we speak well of Uganda, Rwanda, and cattle keeping people of Africa's Great Lakes. Most of the responses are gracious. Yet, without a doubt haters will come out who with the most vile language cheer for ethnic violence.

Genocide ideology against Tutsi people still lives, breaths, plots, and persuades in the hearts of darkness.

🕯️ Kwibuka 32 | Remembrance & Reflection 🕯️

Today marks the beginning of #Kwibuka32, a period of remembrance honoring the victims of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda.

Mahoro Peace Association(MPA) stands in deep solidarity with the people of Rwanda, remembering the lives lost, honoring survivors, and reaffirming the commitment to Never Again.

As we remember, we must also reflect with honesty and courage: genocidal ideology did not end in 1994. It continues to manifest today in eastern Congo, where Tutsi/Banyamulenge communities face persecution, hate speech, forced displacement, and violence rooted in the same ideology of dehumanization.

On this solemn occasion, we also pay tribute to the men and women who courageously brought an end to the genocide and to those who dedicated themselves to rebuilding Rwanda—restoring dignity, unity, and hope from the ashes of unimaginable tragedy.

Remembrance is not only about the past.
It is a call for vigilance, truth, and action wherever such ideology persists.
🕯️ We remember.
🕯️ We stand with survivors.
🕯️ We reject genocide—everywhere, always.

Thank you @FistoNdayi27358, for this advocacy video, which powerfully brings to light a truth that is too often ignored or dismissed.
The systemic discrimination against the Banyamulenge, Tutsi and Hema, is not peripheral, but a central root cause of the ongoing conflict in eastern DRC.
This short video gives a voice to communities, that have endured decades of marginalization, exclusion, and targeted violence, while remaining resilient in the face of persistent erasure.

The mesage is grounded in lived experiences and historical context, it courageously confronts narratives that seek to deny or downplay this reality.

We will continue to urge the world not only to see, but to understand, care, and take meaningful action.

#DRCongo #Minembwe

At the sidelines of the Feb. 10th’ hearing of the House Foreign Affairs Africa Subcommittee @HouseForeignGOP, Mahoro Peace Association (MPA) met in person and individually with key Subcommittee members, voicing deepest concerns over DRC government bombings using fighters and drones on the vulnerable Banyamulenge minority in Minembwe’s highlands, causing unimaginable suffering, displacement, and loss of life.

We also highlighted the devastating humanitarian blockade imposed by DRC forces, Burundian troops, and allied militias, which has cut off food, medicine, and basic supplies, leading to deliberate starvation and a silent genocide against the Tutsi minority.

An urgent humanitarian corridor is desperately needed to deliver life-saving aid and prevent further catastrophe.

Though absent from the Washington accords, we briefed the subcommittee on their plight. As the chairman noted the Kisangani airport bombing, it was a poignant moment to address similar atrocities in Minembwe.

Members pledged follow-up on these critical issues, including the blockade and aid access. A memo was submitted prior to amplify these urgent cries for justice.

Watch the video for this emotional testimony.

We demand an immediate end to the violence, lifting of the blockade, establishment of humanitarian corridors, accountability, and aid for affected civilians.

On Friday, February 7th, the Banyamulenge community organized protests to demand a reassessment of the American decision directing AFC M23 to withdraw from Uvira.

“The root cause of the conflict is not being addressed in this agreement,” Kabunda says. “The Banyamulenge are being sidelined for economic gain.”

It’s a view that has some traction in Washington.

“There cannot be peace in the Congo without first ending anti-Tutsi incitement,” said Michael Rubin of the conservative American Enterprise Institute in a 22 January op-ed.
