@akech_andrew Biased &incomplete, note dat the original initial capacity plan for Bugesera International Airport was 1.7 million passengers per year. The new design with 2 phases: phase 1 up to 8 million passengers ( to be completed by 2028), and phase 2 up to 14 million passengers ( by 2032)
Ce dont la @MONUSCO ne peut se démarquer, en revanche, c'est que depuis le mois d'octobre de l'année passée, 81 personnes rapatriées par la MONUSCO, en tant qu'ex-combattants FDLR, se sont plus tard révélées être des civils congolais de père et de mère, sans aucune origine rwandaise, et sans aucun antécédent dans des groupes armés.
Le Mécanisme conjoint de vérification élargi (MCVE) a même été invité à vérifier cette information. Et lors des interviews des intéressés, 69 de ces individus ont regretté avoir accepté de prétendre être des ex-combattants FDLR, sous promesse de bénéfices que le Centre de démobilisation de Mutobo offre aux ex-combattants rapatriés.
Pour conclure, je dois rappeler que dans ce processus de désarmement et de démobilisation des ex-combattants, le professionnalisme, la rigueur et la probité des agents DDR de la MONUSCO doivent être des valeurs cardinales.

THE UK-RWANDA CASE MAY HAVE CHANGED INTERNATIONAL LAW AND UK FOREIGN POLICY FOREVER
| A Facts On Rwanda Report
The PCA's majority ruling in Rwanda v. United Kingdom may prove significant far beyond the now-defunct Migration and Economic Development Partnership. While the tribunal concluded that Rwanda's diplomatic exchanges and subsequent conduct amounted to legal acceptance of revised financial obligations, the judgment raises a broader question: how much evidence should be required before an international treaty is considered amended?
The majority relied not only on the wording of the exchanged Notes Verbales but also on surrounding circumstances and the parties' later conduct to infer mutual consent. A dissenting arbitrator disagreed, arguing that the evidence did not clearly establish Rwanda's intention to be legally bound by the revised arrangement.
The decision may also influence how governments assess the reliability of future agreements with the United Kingdom. If a change of government can lead to a major policy reversal, followed by diplomatic exchanges later interpreted as legally amending financial obligations, future partners may become far more cautious. They are likely to insist on stricter drafting, explicit amendment clauses, and clearer written confirmation of what is—and is not—legally binding.
Whether fairly or not, the ruling could also shape perceptions of the UK's credibility as a treaty partner. While there is no evidence that the tribunal was influenced by the UK's international standing, critics may argue that the outcome reinforces concerns that powerful states are better positioned to defend their interests in international legal forums. Such perceptions alone could encourage future negotiating partners to demand stronger legal safeguards before entering agreements with London.
Ultimately, the case may be remembered less for the Rwanda migration policy itself than for the precedent it sets on state consent and treaty amendments—one that is likely to be debated in international law for years to come. #FactsOnRwanda

Hi Cameron, Rwanda is the wrong example to use to defend the ICC. We have consistently opposed the ICC as a selective, unaccountable institution which has been used to target Africans disproportionately. Post-genocide Rwanda established Gacaca, a home-grown system of justice and reconciliation, which completed nearly two million cases in ten years, at modest cost, while establishing truth, accountability and a basis for communities to live together again.
Gacaca was pivotal to Rwanda’s recovery, progress and stability. A distant, biased court such as the ICC could never have delivered justice and reconciliation on that scale—not in our lifetime.
In DRC, anti-Rwanda rhetoric has become a test of patriotism
👉🏼In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, accusing someone of “serving Rwanda” has become one of the most effective ways to destroy a political rival’s credibility.
👉🏼A narrative once associated mainly with eastern rebellions has expanded into a broader political weapon, used to question the loyalty of presidents, opposition leaders, civil society actors, and communities. As anti-Rwanda rhetoric becomes a marker of patriotism, it risks replacing democratic debate with suspicion, exclusion, and ethnic polarization.
👉🏼The result is a dangerous political culture in which patriotism is measured not by commitment to democratic governance or constitutional principles, but by the intensity of one’s hostility toward Rwanda.

@JF_LE_DRIAN Anger from his achievements and international respect will kill you cz it’s his achievements speaks louder than your baseless and nonsense accusations
Minembwe atrocities speak louder than Muyaya's denials
✍🏼During his July 1 interview with RFI, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) government spokesperson Patrick Muyaya echoed Kinshasa's narrative on the conflict in the east, accusing AFC/M23 rebels and Rwanda of being responsible for atrocities targeting the Banyamulenge in Minembwe, South Kivu Province. Yet his account sits uneasily alongside years of documentation by human rights organizations, UN experts, and senior UN officials.
✍🏼Since 2017, the Minembwe and Hauts-Plateaux regions of South Kivu have experienced repeated cycles of violence engineered by the Congolese army (FARDC), local armed groups, foreign armed actors such as the Burundian army. Throughout these years, reports by humanitarian organizations, local civil society groups, and international observers have documented repeated attacks on Banyamulenge villages, the destruction of homes, mass displacement, and restrictions on civilians' livelihoods.
✍🏼The tragedy of Minembwe is recorded not only in political speeches but also in destroyed villages, displaced families, independent investigations, and repeated warnings from international institutions. Those documented realities speak far louder than official denials.

@JPaul_Ntagara What did you did to support your country before coming with criticism?
Show us if at least you built a single infrastructure in your home village then you came up with none sense.
DRC conflict is crazy.
Burundi president has troops fighting for Tshisekedi and at the same time a mediator. How is one a mediator who also fights for a party to the mediation?
Americans mediating between Rwanda- DRC and at the same time issuing sanctions. How does a mediator issue sanctions?
Has the word mediation changed meaning?
Welcome to Jerusalem @RwandaMFA FM @onduhungirehe.
Today we signed agreements to expand cooperation in development, innovation and education, strengthening the partnership between our nations.
We also discussed Israel’s security challenges and the U.S. brokered peace agreement between Rwanda and the DRC, and the importance of its implementation.
We are two nations with painful histories, remarkable resilience, and an unwavering determination to build a better future for our people. 🇮🇱🇷🇼
@USAmbRwanda Cooperation really? With you backing DRC gov’t which intends to invade Rwanda & continues to harbor Genocidal FDLR, as well as sanctioning victims by ignoring the offender DRC. That’s hypocrisy & u no longer a credible mediator instead you are fueling conflict for your interests.
