I held two conversations this week with President Ramaphosa on the situation in Eastern DRC, including earlier today. What has been said about these conversations in the media by South African officials and President Ramaphosa himself contains a lot of distortion, deliberate attacks, and even lies. If words can change so much from a conversation to a public statement, it says a lot about how these very important issues are being managed.

A few important clarifications for the record:

1. The Rwanda Defence Force is an army, not a militia.

2. SAMIDRC is not a peacekeeping force, and it has no place in this situation. It was authorized by SADC as a belligerent force engaging in offensive combat operations to help the DRC Government fight against its own people, working alongside genocidal armed groups like FDLR which target Rwanda, while also threatening to take the war to Rwanda itself.

3. SAMIDRC displaced a true peacekeeping force, the East African Community Regional Force, and this contributed to the failure of the negotiation processes.

4. President Ramaphosa has never given a "warning" of any kind, unless it was delivered in his local language which I do not understand. He did ask for support to ensure the South African force has adequate electricity, food and water, which we shall help communicate.

5. President Ramaphosa confirmed to me that M23 did not kill the soldiers from South Africa, FARDC did.

6. If South Africa wants to contribute to peaceful solutions, that is well and good, but South Africa is in no position to take on the role of a peacemaker or mediator. And if South Africa prefers confrontation, Rwanda will deal with the matter in that context any day.

Our president (#Kagame) once told us: Consider the way we are a single tribe. We all speak one language. We all have the same culture, and dances, n behaviors. So be proud of who you are. But also be proud of being Rwandan, because that is something all of us are.

2. The lies of Habyarimana Goverment on the Tutsi massacres :When the Habyarimana government massacred Tutsi in the prefectures of Ruhengeri and Gisenyi, no one was allowed to access places of these massacres, except the officials of the prefectures,#Kwibuka26

#Genocide des Tutsi au #Rwanda
Agissez contre la propagation du négationnisme, qui s’organise un colloque au Sénat, en signant cette pétition. Le million de victimes n’a pas besoin d’être assassiné une deuxième fois.

Minister @BusingyeJohns, at Cyanika #CatholicChurch reminds of 25yrs of criminal silence, 25yrs of criminal conspiracy, 60yrs of genocidal ideology and policies and 25 yrs of efforts to overcome all these negative aspects in #Rwanda's sociopolitical life
