#EST_RDC :

Les groupes armés Wazalendo récemment mobilisés dans les hauts et moyens plateaux du Sud-Kivu sont-ils également mélangés à des éléments des FDLR ?

La première vidéo montre un colonel portant la tenue et le béret de la GR (Garde républicaine ou Garde Présidentielle) en train de recenser les milices dites Wazalendo à Uvira, en vue des opérations militaires actuellement menées contre l’AFC-M23 dans les hauts et moyens plateaux du Sud-Kivu.

La deuxième vidéo montre un officier Mzalendo des FABB, faction du seigneur de guerre Delphin Kahembe, dit « Ngoma Nzito », en train d’être interrogé par un autre élément avec lequel il commanderait conjointement les opérations militaires dans l’axe de Kimeti.

À l’analyse de la tonalité et de l’accent du swahili parlé par cet élément Mzalendo, plusieurs indices laissent penser qu’il pourrait s’agir d’un élément des FDLR. Il cherche à maîtriser son accent et à parler le swahili afin de dissimuler son origine linguistique, mais l’accent kinyarwanda demeure perceptible.

Cette vidéo pourrait ainsi constituer un nouvel indice d’un mixage d’éléments des FDLR au sein des dispositifs Wazalendo/VDP engagés dans les opérations militaires contre l’AFC-M23 dans les hauts et moyens plateaux du Sud-Kivu.

Cette présence est d’autant plus importante à documenter d'autant plus des forces armées burundaises sont également déployées dans cette zone et opèrent aux côtés de ces groupes armés alliés aux FARDC.

@Katsuva_R Bonne nouvelle

[Stanis Bujakera Tshiamala @StanysBujakera]

#RDC: Azarias Ruberwa a exigé que Martin Fayulu retire ses propos sur les Banyamulenge, qu'il a qualifiés d'« insulte » à cette communauté. L'ancien vice-président a rappelé que les Banyamulenge sont installés depuis des siècles dans le Sud-Kivu, notamment dans les territoires de Mwenga et Fizi, et a dénoncé un discours reposant selon lui sur le faciès plutôt que sur le droit, insistant sur le fait que la nationalité relève d'un lien juridique et non ethnique. Il a averti que Fayulu serait « sévèrement jugé par l'histoire » s'il persistait dans ces propos.

[Bojana Coulibaly, Ph.D. @CoulibalyBojana]

Martin Fayulu, who today is one of the leaders of the #DRC Opposition, former presidential candidate, and leader of the ECIDé party calling for "National Dialogue", has consistently fueled anti-Tutsi hate throughout his political career. His latest xenophobic comment on Tutsi Banyamulenge is not a simple slip of the tongue, but illustrates the wider systemic anti-Tutsi xenophobia characterizing the current Kinshasa regime and its genocidal #FDLR backers.

On March 9, 2020 at the French Senate, Fayulu spoke at a conference titled "60 Years of Instability in Africa of Great Lakes", alongside a convicted denier of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi, the Cameroonian Charles Onana, as well as other prominent genocide deniers such as the Canadian Judi Rever and French Hubert Védrine.

In his intervention at the French Senate, right after directing a xenophobic comment at the @OIFrancophonie Secretary General @LMushikiwabo, contesting her legitimacy to lead the OIF because she is (Tutsi) Rwandan, Fayulu went on claiming that the Tutsi have "infiltrated" and "invaded" the armed forces of Congo.

The notion of “Tutsi infiltration” is an old conspiracy theory used by the perpetrators of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda against the hundreds of thousands of Tutsi who were pushed to exile and subjected to targeted killings by the consecutive genocidal governments of Kayibanda, Habyarimana and Sindikukwabo, since Rwanda's independence.

This theory of a "Tutsi foreigner-infilitrator-invader" has then consistently been used since the 1994 genocide by genocide deniers and promoters of the anti-Tutsi genocide rhetoric, which is today politically and militarily embodied by the #FDLR and their support networks which include the DRC Government of Felix Tshisekedi.

At the conference on March 9, 2020, Fayulu, addressing the French Senate in Paris, declared:

"I’ll give you a figure. Today in the Congolese army, which we call the FARDC… there are 300 Tutsi officers… I have no problem with that, I grew up with Rwandans. I play tennis, I was in friends’ groups with them, we are brothers and sisters… but what is going on? In the Public Force, which is what the Congolese army was called before Independence, there wasn’t a single Tutsi. In the ANC, the Congolese National Army after independence, there wasn’t a single Tutsi. In the Zairian Armed Forces, the FAZ, there weren’t any. Today, how is it that there are 300 officers, more than 100 generals… What is
really happening here?

Fayulu’s concluding rhetorical question was not a simple harmless statement. In the ongoing context of systemic Tutsiphobia in DRC, widespread use of anti-Tutsi hate speech, arbitrary arrests of thousands of Tutsi-looking or Kinyarwanda speaking Congolese, hate attacks and killings of Congolese Military and Police personnel of Tutsi origin*, Fayulu’s statement is a discursive weapon of incitement to violence, hate crimes, and ethnic cleansing of Congolese Tutsi in DRC.

*A report published in January 2025 by @NARwanda “Hate Speech and Violence Status Report in DRC
(2021-2024)” has documented, between 2021 and 2024, twenty-seven (27) cases of targeted attacks or killings of Congolese Tutsi Military and Police personnel, labeled as “Rwandan infiltrators”, “Rwandan spies”, etc. The lynching of Captain Patrick Rukatura Gisore (video recorded and shared on social media), who was burned alive by Wazalendo in Goma on November 9, 2023, is well known. The case of Lt. Bob Ngirivugizi, who was hanged at his home by his own colleagues on March 18, 2023, is also well known.

The mainstream media such as @JTAtv5monde, that provide a platform for such promoters of anti-Tutsi ideology (as seen in this interview below with Fayulu), and the lack of denunciation of such dangerous rhetoric by the "human rights" organizations @hrw and @amnesty, contribute in this catastrophic normalization of genocide ideology which has led to 1 million Rwandan Tutsi killed in 1994 and tens of thousands of Congolese Tutsi killed in DRC, as well as close to a million Congolese Tutsi pushed to exile.

Owing to such normalization of anti-Tutsi hate in Congolese politics and mainstream international media, being Tutsi today in Congo, protecting the Tutsi from targeted violence, or refusing to espouse such hatred against the Tutsi, has turned into a death sentence. We have seen it materialized in the widespread targeted killings and arbitrary arrests in Congo, as well as in the death sentences by DRC Government against the members of #AFC/#M23/#Twirwaneho (including against their family members such as the wife of @CNangaa), or against the former president Joseph Kabila.
