@US_SrAdvisorAF Civilians are being massacred in eastern DR Congo day and night, you know the perpetrators, and all you can do is urge "all parties” to commit...

[Jesca Mutamba @Jesca_Mutamba]

@US_SrAdvisorAF Rwanda trusts only its security organs for its security.

Show at least one gesture since the accords proving Rwanda can trust you on security & action against the FDLR & Tshisekedi.

You know Tshisekedi is the mastermind behind this militia, yet you won’t say a word...

[Jesca Mutamba @Jesca_Mutamba]

@prevotmaxime Subscribe or not, Rwanda trusts only its security organs for its security, unlike DRC, which has handed its internal affairs over to U.S & the likes.

Show at least one gesture since the accords that proves Rwanda can trust you on security & action against the FDLR & Tshisekedi?

@US_SrAdvisorAF We know what you represent and it's nothing like peace.

The initial Washington accords said neutralization of the FDLR, then Rwanda lifting its defensive measures against the threat.

So how did it become "Rwanda withdrawing its troops and Congo neutralizing the FDLR?"

@ReachDrMuganga @JackieAkampwera @DaudiKabanda @Thomas_Tayebwa Sad for the world we live in today

[ᗪᖇ. ᒪᗩᗯᖇEᑎᑕE ᗰᑌGᗩᑎGᗩ @ReachDrMuganga]

Hon. @DaudiKabanda, with due respect, I must set the record straight. I do NOT hold a Rwandan passport. This is a deliberate falsehood introduced by Hon. Thomas Tayebwa, and the truth must be told.

We have it ON RECORD —
@Thomas_Tayebwa’s own words: “In every vetting session we have to fail someone, and this time it had to be you, Dr. Muganga.” Read that again. This rejection was decided before the process even began. It was never about passports, qualifications, or integrity. It was personal. It was calculated. It was discriminatory. And in due course, we shall release the audio that proves it. Stay tuned.

Hon. Kabanda, what I experienced in that committee was not parliamentary oversight. It was hatred. It was discrimination. It was racism, directed at me simply because I am a Munyarwanda.

Let me be clear: We Banyarwanda are Ugandans. We were born here. We pay taxes here. We build institutions here. We have given our lives to serve this nation. I personally have spent decades working tirelessly for Uganda, conducting thousands of interviews, engaging with thousands of people, sitting in hundreds of boardroom meetings across 56 countries. In all those years and in all those rooms, I have never once encountered the kind of hostility that Hon. Tayebwa directed at me. Not once. And to this day, I cannot understand the depth of hatred he carries toward Banyarwanda. I do not have to take my word for it. Ask the other members of the Appointment Committee, including those from the Opposition side. They were there. They witnessed it.

So I ask one simple question: what is Hon. Tayebwa so afraid of? What remains hidden that my presence at Internal Affairs would threaten to uncover?

Uganda belongs to ALL its citizens equally. Banyarwanda included. We are not second class citizens. We will not be treated as such. This selective and discriminatory application of the law must be called out loudly, and it must stop. The law is not a weapon to be aimed at one community of our own people.

We are Ugandan. We belong here. And we will not be silenced.

@AfricaMediaHub Why should this be only read on your website, when you stay completely silent while civilians are being massacred in eastern DR Congo by the government and its coalition, a coalition that largely includes the FDLR?

[Bojana Coulibaly, Ph.D. @CoulibalyBojana]

Establishing a moral equivalence between actions of genocide perpetrators (#FDLR) and those of #M23 protecting the victims from extermination will continue to remain a terrible mistake and a justification for genocide to be normalized and repeated. #NeverAgain

[Jesca Mutamba @Jesca_Mutamba]

@amerix How exactly has AFC/M23 complicated health systems? Health systems, like all other systems, have always been complicated in DR Congo. Check public reaction to Ebola measures in areas far from AFC/M23-controlled zones 😂

In fact, life is smooth in Goma and other liberated areas.

Last night @Arsenal lost a final.

Today #RSSB Tigers play for the #BAL title in Kigali.

So the universe and I are currently having a very serious conversation. 😭

A month ago in Pretoria I met #CraigRandall II after he dropped 54 points and 11 threes. BAL records. Absolute insanity.

Also, I’m 6’1 and he STILL made me look small in the photo. Completely unacceptable behaviour 😂

But what stayed with me was the composure. The certainty. The feeling that he came here to make history.

Kigali is not sleeping tonight. 🐯🇷🇼

Twese hamwe.
Komeza, inkingi!

What better way to spend a Saturday afternoon than at the home of my dear brother, General Charles Karamba, Ambassador of Rwanda to Ethiopia and PR to AU and UNECA. We told each other beautiful stories of our beloved country, Rwanda, and our hopes for transformation of Africa.

[Jesca Mutamba @Jesca_Mutamba]

@0243RDC @africatodayMG I apologize for my comment. After getting through some of your posts, I understood who you're and understand your frustrations at some point 😂😂😂😂

You're carrying a lot of stress over a team that seems to be enjoying itself just fine.

@0243RDC @africatodayMG Nothing written here but exposure of your tribalism virus

@africatodayMG Now I understand why neighbors rush to close borders. There is no state intervention at all

[Alex Mvuka, Ph.D. @AlexMvuka]

Dear Amb. Willy Nyamitwe,

Let's talk about the issue that Amb. @NgogaFred has pointed out. His concerns reflect what many observers describe as the everyday political and security reality in Burundi.

The following is a factual account of key events and patterns that have shaped the country’s recent history.

In April 2015, political violence erupted, primarily in Bujumbura, after President Pierre Nkurunziza announced his intention to seek a third term in office, a move widely viewed by opponents as unconstitutional. Peaceful protests the decision were constrained with severe repression. According to @UN and other international human rights organisations, hundreds (mainly Tutsi) of civilians were killed, while many others were arrested, tortured, or disappeared.
Bodies were found regularly on the streets of Bujumbura through end 2015 and late 2016. Many of those targeted were perceived government opponents, including a significant number of Tutsi civilians. Therefore, Ambassador Ngoga is right.

Post-elections in 2015

Despite the unrest, the government proceeded with elections in July 2015, which were boycotted by much of the political opposition. President Nkurunziza was subsequently sworn in for a third term. No foreign head of state attended the inauguration. Fearing arrest, persecution, or violence, tens of thousands of Burundians fled the country, many seeking refuge in neighbouring Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, and the DRC. By mid-2016, more than 200,000 Burundian refugees, mainly Tutsi, had been registered across the region.

Post-elections

Between 2015 and 2016, Burundi experienced a wave of assassinations, enforced disappearances, arbitrary arrests, and torture targeting political opponents, civil society activists, journalists, and individuals suspected of supporting the failed coup attempt of May 2015.

There have been a persisted discrimination targeting political opponents and members of the Tutsi minority, particularly those perceived to be associated with opposition groups or previous political structures. Amba. Nyamitwe, your party CNDD-FDD and affiliated actors have increasingly framed political and security issues through an ethnic lens, thereby deepening mistrust and polarisation within Burundian society.

Amba. Nyamitwe, you know that the Imbonerakure youth movement, affiliated with your party has frequently committed extreme abuses and violence.

Amba. you know how @GeneralNeva has led some ethnocentric ideas to the regional level. Anti-Tutsi policy continues to influence political discourse and security dynamics. Your own military involvement in eastern DRC has generated additional concern among analysts and observers who view regional conflicts as interconnected through political, ethnic, and security alliances. Your country has demonstrated an intention to kill, destroy and exterminate the Banyamulenge (Tutsi). These developments continue to raise important questions that Ambassador Ngoga has raised regarding governance, political inclusion, accountability, minority protection, and long-term regional stability.

Dear Nyamitwe, while your party, CNDD-FDD, has not officially or publicly promoted a formal state policy of persecution against the Tutsi minority, numerous human rights reports and political analyses indicate that Tutsi communities have, at various times, faced targeted political violence, systemic marginalisation, discrimination, and severe intimidation, particularly during periods of political crisis and heightened ethnic tension.

You know, Dear Amba Nyamitwe, that security institutions and affiliated groups, including the Imbonerakure youth movement, have been implicated in abuses affecting perceived political opponents, many of whom are Tutsi or are viewed as associated with opposition networks. These patterns have contributed to a climate of fear, political exclusion, and insecurity among sections of the Tutsi population.

Mr Nyamitwe, you kniow well that, ethnicity continues to influence political alignments, security perceptions, and access to power within Burundi . Therefore Amba Ngoga was right.
