Unlike what the international community will have you believe, the idea that a political solution is necessary to solve the conflict in Eastern DRC is far from new. It is what Rwanda has been calling for, for YEARS. It is exactly what President Tshisekedi has openly and REPEATEDLY refused to do. And we will not join you in pretending otherwise.
The underlying message of the selective outcry is not that there is a sudden genuine concern for the plight of a country that everyone knows is a failed state. The message is clear: the decision made 30 years ago—that the lives of Rwandans are expendable in the face of geopolitical interests—still stands today.
That is why the leadership of DRC is enjoying the perks of sharing the same interests as their masters: talk crazy, recruit genocidaires and European mercenaries to fight your wars, sit back, relax, and let the international community bury the real issue.
What every resolution and statement is calling for is an immediate return to business as usual: a nation that must remain a lawless playground where leaders get their cut to go buy castles in Brussels, the international community thrives off the business of peacekeeping and poverty alleviation programs, and their companies protect their profits.
Every country throwing its weight behind DRC knows they would never tolerate a fraction of the kind of security threats Rwanda has been facing for 30 years.
The gaslighting is deliberate because the truth is bad for business. It turns out that in this equation, the citizens of either country don’t actually matter, and in the end, their goal is NOT in fact a path to peace.
Dear @rrainfo we really take this opportunity to thank your employee Adeline Mukamwezi of the EBM team. The lady has worked 1h45' of extra time to restore our EBM system. With a Smile on her face. She treated us excellently, she loves her job. May her efforts be recognized!
5 years back we produced Bird eye chilli. It was a nice start of our farming story; this is one of our happy days when we supplied only 13kgs to our client. Today we are better than that. Thanks @Rwandafresh@ryaf_agribiz@RwandaAgri @MiniYouthRwanda @BDF_rw for the support.
Together @FAO, @RwandaAgri & @ryaf_agribiz, celebrated youth successes including completion of a four month training for 150 youth on production and processing of 🍅 and passion fruit and creation of 1,000 new jobs in #agrifoodsystems

“Growing up, I was fascinated by planes. Even way before I even had an opportunity to step on a plane, I used to see them and be fascinated by that. In fact, from that, I thought if I had had the opportunity, I would become a pilot or an engineer. That didn’t happen. I ended up in completely different places but I am trying to do my best in that as well. I think in a way the train left the station, but I know there are many young entrepreneurs and a lot of talent in this room. I am just encouraging you. This is the time for you to do what some of us were not able to do and change things. This is your time.” President Kagame | #HangaPitchfest23
