A panel featuring Pacifique Kayihura, a survivor and Rtd. General Controller of Benin Police Constant Prosper SOSSOU discussed on the nature of the crime of genocide, how it manifested in Rwanda, the need for ensuring that every genocidaire incl. those who deny it face justice.
Amb. Franck Armel AFOUKOU, SG of the @BeninDiplomatie paid tribute to the over a million people killed and commended Rwanda's recovery post-genocide, calling on all nations, especially African, to draw lessons to prioritise unity over hate and discrimination.
In Cotonou, Benin, over 150 Rwandans and friends of Rwanda convened for a commemorative symposium on the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi where they reflected on the history that made an atrocity of such grave magnitude possible.
À l’Assemblée nationale 🇫🇷 (@AssembleeNat), LFI (@FranceInsoumise) a franchi un cap ignoble.
En affirmant que "tous les peuples victimes de génocides passent d’agressés à agresseurs", la députée Clémentine Autain a craché sur la mémoire des victimes du génocide contre les Tutsi 💔.
Une autre a renchéri en disant : "ils ont une position victimaire". Une insulte de plus !
Cette rhétorique nauséabonde ne vise pas seulement les Rwandais : elle recycle des discours dangereux contre d’autres peuples ayant survécu à l’impensable. Quand la lâcheté politique se drape dans la pseudo-subversion, elle devient un poison ⚠️.
Face à ce scandale, @HerveBerville a dû recadrer ces propos honteux, devant un ambassadeur du Rwanda, M. @FNimfura, visiblement choqué.
LFI en mission ? Insulter les survivants semble être devenu leur créneau 🤬.
Je ne ressens que du mépris !

#Editorial: @IntlCrimCourt for Congo!
An International tribunal for Congo will not do what Kinshasa and Mukwege think it will.
All #UN reports are unanimous:
1. the most violent “group” that kills citizens is the Ugandan islamists of #ADF, followed by the Congolese army @FARDC_Info, the #FDLR of Rwandan Genocide perpetrators, #CODECO of #Kinshasa based politician Mbusa Nyamwisi, then comes the so called #Maimai.
2. All, except ADF-Nalu are armed by, allied to and fight alongside the Congolese army, the @MONUSCO and @SANDF_ZA .
3. Most of victims in Eastern Congo are the #Hema people from #Ituri, followed by #Banyamulenge in #Minembwe, #Uvira. They are killed for “looking Tutsi”.
4. They are killed by the government army in retreat after every defeat, and militias armed by them, now all coalesced in one violent and unruly outfit named #Wazalendo.
5. The last time UN agency @MONUSCO made a scientific report like this, #Kinshasa officially asked them to leave, then sent in mobs to attack them, vandalize their barracks.
6. M23 only fights combatants. But for self-preservation, @MONUSCO has to “balance” their reports and accuse them of something.
7. When I officially asked @MONUSCO for evidence of killings by M23, they openly confirmed that they don’t have any, and that they rely on testimonies of #IDPs - basically family members of FDLR and Wazalendo, all beaten by #M23. In private they admitted to me that it’s survival politics.
8. Congolese NGOs met in international conferences outside of Congo, jokingly tell you:
“Les Rwandais ne tuent pas, mais ils veulent nos terres et c’est la seule guerre qui nous reste.”
“Rwandans” dont kill, but they conquer our land, so it’s the only war we can fight..” this too is indoctrination because those “Rwandais” are actually Congolese and that’s their ancestral land!
9. Finally, the DRC has no idea of the number of its own population, because Kinshasa has NEVER conducted a national census since independence from Belgium in 1960.
So when I see grownups in suits, engage in sophistry, I only pity them, because they’ll be the first to be put away by that Court, and potentially with their allies - the #SouthAfrican politicians.
In Hosea 4:6, God says: “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge”, and Ephesians 4:18 to conclude: “They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of Ignorance that is in them due to their hardness of heart.”
Dear beloved, receive the word of God this morning! 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Who will ever capture this hidden side of Paul Kagame? Which book, film or analysis shall do it justice?
Who shall tell how the best and brightest Africans, the best and brightest in the world, gravitate around him, find a home and a purpose in Rwanda, a tiny country of all places?
The World Bank President resigned to lead a school of Health in rural Rwanda, while the former Deputy Governor of the Nigerian Central Bank now leads the African School of Government in Kigali. Bill Gates and Howard Buffet advise him with no pay, and the top 20 African billionaires just retreated at Kigali's Golf Club for a week. Former African heads of state retire in Rwanda, send their children to study in Rwanda, and foreign dignitaries seek his support to be elected in global institutions.
Mind you he is no Gaddafi, Mobutu, nor Houphouet. He doesn't bribe nor bully anyone. He shows them the vision for our continent and they honor him by being a part of it...
Who will explain why the mediocre hate him? The corrupt, counter-revolutionaries, the visionless, the vassals and the African predators, fight him?
The time will come when each one of us tell a piece of our personal experience with him. The story of how an extraordinary man, touched the lives of ordinary people, to accomplish extraordinary things, for our people, continent and the world..
Viva. 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Négationnisme à l'état pur et à l'image de la discrimination, extermination et cannibalisme que les Tustis Congolais subissent depuis des années au Congo! Quelle honte!
#RDC: Editorial.
Un Concert de négationnisme du génocide des Tutsi à Paris, appuyé par @UNICEF, la radio @SkyrockFM et l'@AccordArena.
Les artistes Congolais organisent un concert pour "soutenir les victimes du conflit à l’Est de la RDC."
Seulement, ils l'organisent "le 7 Avril", une date sacrée, déclarée par l'@UN et le monde entier comme "Journée de reflection sur le génocide perpétré contre les Tutsi".
Sponsorisé par #Kinshasa, dont tous les rapports accusent de collaborer avec les génocidaires Rwandais défaits du FDLR, le choix de la date n'est pas anodin, si non, ils n'auraient pas choisi un lundi pour faire un concert.
Les causes profondes du conflit à l'Est du Congo sont effectivement l'idéologie génocidaire et la politique d'exclusion des Tutsi Congolais, que le M23 se bat pour ramener chez eux après 30 ans d'exil.
Un événement cynique donc, où les bourreaux s'apprêtent à "célébrer" la souffrance de ceux qu'ils ont eux-même persécuté, tout en profanant une date sacrée. Un manque de vertu et de pudeur que seuls des négationnistes peuvent se prévaloir.
Signalons que l'auteur @duboiris célébré à Kinshasa, vient d'être condamné par la justice Française pour ses écrits négationnistes du génocide contre les Tutsi.
Au cours du procès de Charles Onana, des manifestants congolais avaient été priés par les juges de quitter la salle pour "bruits", et le porte parole du gouvernement congolais @PatrickMuyaya de déclarer aux médias parisiens: "Le proces de Onana est aussi le notre."
Malgré leurs label @UNICEF, l'argent collecté ne va jamais construire des écoles pour enfants à Goma ou à Bukavu; zones controlées par le M23, il va sans doute être partagé entre @GIMS et @angeliquekidjo.
Tout en espérant que Madame Kidjo, Unicef et Accord Arena aient tous été piégés, je rappel que le négationnisme de génocide ne déshonore que ses auteurs.
Embracing the concept that sometimes good is better than perfect encourages a mindset that values progress and initiative over an unattainable pursuit of flawlessness- Dr @HKBSol#RethinkingImposterSyndrome@womenlifthealth
