@NormanIshimwe @rpfinkotanyi While you distort, I call it Accountability.

As Rwandan public servants, our focus must be to deliver for citizens all day, every day.

It’s an honor to work for a President who embodies service, integrity, ambition & a heart for Rwandans.

[Rachel I. S. @Rachel_IS]

Funny how some #fakenews EU politicians/media houses are explaining the strong signal sent to Belgium by Rwanda as a sign of weakness. You should know better. Rwanda & Rwandans’ resilience is stronger than ever. History in the making and you’re sitting on the wrong side again😩😩

[Rachel I. S. @Rachel_IS]

@ThierryMARIANI Fausses informations comme fonds de commerce? Rien d’étonnant de votre part! Penser que prendre son destin en main et dénoncer les tactiques malicieuses de certains pays/politiciens, c’est perdre son sang froid… grosse erreur! You’re in for a ride #RwandaWins

We told western countries many times that, for the past 30 years, the FDLR genocidal force has been a permanent threat to Rwanda, especially as they are now supported by the Congolese government and embedded in the FARDC.

Unfortunately, these world's powers refused to listen to us, arguing that the FDLR combatants are just a bunch of "old and weak" people, and that Rwanda is using them as a pretext to "invade Congo for minerals".

Yet, the FDLR, a movement that has continously recruiting on its genocide ideology, was even supported by @MONUSCO, a 26-year old UN peacekeeping mission that was supposed to neutralize them, as per several UN Security Council resolutions.

And today, a group of FDLR combatants captured on the battlefield (including Brig Gen Ezechiel Gakwerere, one of the murderers of Queen Rosalie Gicanda - here in a FARDC uniform -), were handed over to Rwanda by the AFC/M23, a rebel movement that is doing the very job that the self-righteous international community should have done over the past 30 years.

But guess who they now call the "villain"...

RWANDA SUSPENDS DEVELOPMENT COOPERATION WITH BELGIUM

There is no longer a sound basis for development cooperation with Belgium. Accordingly, Rwanda is suspending the remainder of the 2024-2029 bilateral aid program with Belgium.

I have noticed that some European Politicians have started a serious campaign to criminalise President Kagame and destabilise Rwanda by using the problem of the DRC.They have always been looking for such opportunity.They suddenly woke up to love DRC after their failure to help the country for decades.While Africa must take the front lead in searching for peace in the DRC,we must all collectively stand against their ulterior motives for the destruction of Rwanda.

[Stephanie Nyombayire @PressSecRwanda]

Tout ça ne nous rendra pas le Congo…a telling expression from Belgium. A country now leading the charge against Rwanda, with accusations of exploiting the very resources on which Belgium’s ENTIRE wealth is built. The irony is unmatched.

This is a reminder that fake outrage does not erase the facts of history. If anyone is to carry part of the blame, it is the nation that was an INTEGRAL part of creating and fueling ethnic divisions, that continues to harbor and give legitimacy to Genocide perpetrators while Antwerp Diamond District continues to thrive off of DRC diamonds.

The question must be asked, in whose interest is it to maintain the status quo, where one of the richest and largest nation in Africa is perpetually dependent on one of the smallest European nations to solve its problems through diplomatic and economic hand outs.

Here are the key messages from President Kagame @CNN interview, before they were edited to fit the predictable editorial line:

◦FDLR are associated and supported by governments in the region. Their aim is not only to fight M23, who are Congolese, but to fight Rwanda and overthrow the government, as they have said publicly. Does anyone think Rwanda will sit back and wait for that to happen? Rwanda will fight back in whatever form, there is no question about it.

◦I subscribe to the idea of respecting sovereignty of countries. That means the sovereignty of Rwanda must also be respected. There is no sovereignty of any country that is more important than the sovereignty of another. That's the standard principle.

◦The same international community blaming Rwanda is the one that has left FDLR in Congo for 30 years. Two and a half decades and close to $40 billion later, what stability is there? Putting the blame on Rwanda is the easiest way of covering up the mess they have been involved with and caused in our region.

◦The problem is simple to understand. People make it sound complex to avoid doing anything about it. Even the most unintelligent people would understand a problem after 30 years.

◦I don't think anybody is interested in war. I don’t even think Tshisekedi is interested in war himself, but he has been encouraged in that direction by people showing up to fight his wars for him. If they were not doing that, maybe he would see reason in the truth and prioritize the efforts to have peace.

◦I am talking about protecting myself, aware of the dangers that are there. I am managing national affairs and situations to obtain peace, and Tshisekedi is talking about humiliation which has to do with his ego. You can't run a country and cause problems in the region just because of ego.

◦The most important thing for Rwanda is that we have to protect ourselves. In our minds, we understand that nobody is going to be there for us. We saw it in 1994. That has resulted into making investments in security, in defense, and the rest will speak for itself.

@mongi_writes @EtherealWater Boohoo… a bunch of hurt feelings in these comments. « They should have finished the job »… nonsense. What part of « we are ready ANY DAY » didn’t you get?

[Paul Kagame @PaulKagame]

I held two conversations this week with President Ramaphosa on the situation in Eastern DRC, including earlier today. What has been said about these conversations in the media by South African officials and President Ramaphosa himself contains a lot of distortion, deliberate attacks, and even lies. If words can change so much from a conversation to a public statement, it says a lot about how these very important issues are being managed.

A few important clarifications for the record:

1. The Rwanda Defence Force is an army, not a militia.

2. SAMIDRC is not a peacekeeping force, and it has no place in this situation. It was authorized by SADC as a belligerent force engaging in offensive combat operations to help the DRC Government fight against its own people, working alongside genocidal armed groups like FDLR which target Rwanda, while also threatening to take the war to Rwanda itself.

3. SAMIDRC displaced a true peacekeeping force, the East African Community Regional Force, and this contributed to the failure of the negotiation processes.

4. President Ramaphosa has never given a "warning" of any kind, unless it was delivered in his local language which I do not understand. He did ask for support to ensure the South African force has adequate electricity, food and water, which we shall help communicate.

5. President Ramaphosa confirmed to me that M23 did not kill the soldiers from South Africa, FARDC did.

6. If South Africa wants to contribute to peaceful solutions, that is well and good, but South Africa is in no position to take on the role of a peacemaker or mediator. And if South Africa prefers confrontation, Rwanda will deal with the matter in that context any day.
