This afternoon, the Rwanda Defence Force (RDF) received and escorted over 280 Romanian mercenaries who had been fighting alongside the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (FARDC) in Eastern part of DRC. These mercenaries surrendered to M23 following the capture of the strategic city of Goma. They are now being transported to Kigali.
We won’t see these images on European TVs when they talk about the Congo crisis. Instead, they’ll show you a crying child or a struggling mother—never their mercenaries fleeing in shame. Their superiority complex won’t allow them to broadcast their own defeats.
By the way, each was paid $8,000 on monthlybasis, and there are hundreds of them. They were defeated at the end of the month—who will pocket their salaries in Kinshasa? Remember, some M23 soldiers who defected from the FARDC in 2012 are still on the payroll.

As a Jew yourself, during Holocaust Commemoration do you remember all those German lives lost during World War 2?
Why don’t you call it commemoration of WW2 violence?

🕯️"'Kwibuka’ means ‘to remember'."
Today, we stand with the people of Rwanda to mark the 30th commemoration of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi.
🇷🇼 Our players and legends reflect on their time visiting Rwanda and learning about its history.

Rwanda, located at the heart of Africa, is a true symbol of this continent's essence. It's a place where life thrives, as exemplified by Idris Elba and Sabrina Dhowre naming a baby gorilla "Narame," which translates to "Long Life," during the 19th Kwita Izina ceremony. 🇷🇼🦍 @cakamanzi #KwitaIzina | #RwandaIsOpen
