White people solidarity on DR Congo is impressive. If only they were greedily chasing justice + humanity + peace and not the shiny prize that is minerals. King Leopold lives on!
Considering the following Canadian interests are all mining in DRC, Canada could be said to be one of the main causes of the conflict ? Time for higher tariffs!
@POTUS

#RDC#M23: Le gouvernement congolais a lancé un appel au calme en réponse aux manifestations contre l'agression rwandaise dont certaines, ont dégénéré en scènes de pillages. Ce mardi dans la matinée, plusieurs ambassades, dont celles du Rwanda, de la France, de Belgique ainsi que des Etats-Unis ont été ciblées.
@StanysBujakera Bwana Mutamba ajue ya kwamba yuko na bahati sana kuweza kusema ujinga mtupu hapo Goma. Goma hapo ni karibu sana. Anayemtukana ndiye anazuia wanaoweza kuufunga milele huo mdomo mchafu wa kijinga wa Mutamba.
@mukizawabo French Barbara of Bangui lost me at: "grenade on the table, it's death or sex". In a peacekeepers base. A Rwandan military base. Kwanza who has ever seen a peacekeeper carrying grenades? An RDF peacekeeper?? What filthy films has this journalist been watching?
Let's not forget 30 years ago as genocide was underway Habyarimana's ambassador to the UN, was allowed to continue sitting in the Security Council as Rwanda was a non-permanent, and he lied about what was happening in Rwanda. He still lives in the US https://t.co/HfjOVnKTCW
Monusco prepares 2 leave DRC, basically throwing Congolese Tutsi civilians to the wolves. Imagine what Tshisekedi will do with no witnesses: The Kinshasa regime will become “Habyarimana II”
That’s UN for you - it rarely does the right thing, historically

You are a fraud + hypocrite. Rwanda has no mining operations in DRC. But your country Canada has had major mining companies in DRC for years! We haven't seen you yapping about what these big companies are doing there: Ivanhoe, First Quantum, Banro...

For more than a quarter century Rwanda has smuggled Congolese minerals, earning a reputation as a chief predator, pillager and profiteer in the Great Lakes region. Over the last decade, Rwanda has produced only modest amounts of tantalum, tungsten and tin, and operates a gold refinery in Kigali despite having no real gold production. Nevertheless, Rwanda manages to steadily sell those laundered minerals (3TG) to downstream actors in the global supply chain. Rwanda is a leading global supplier of tantalum, a derivative of coltan. International smelters, refiners & electronic component/capacitor manufacturers buy minerals from Rwanda. These companies in turn sell their 'conflict-free' products to Big Tech giants such as Apple, Motorola & Microsoft, and to defense contractors and aviation companies, all of which pat themselves on the back for supposedly sourcing minerals responsibly and respecting due diligence norms. Yet all these companies, which commercialize minerals 'from Rwanda', have been informed for years that Rwanda stokes violence in Congo and smuggles 3TG from the Kivus and Ituri. The third-party audits the global supply chain relies on are a scam. This international mineral trade with (and through) Rwanda is therefore criminal. Commercializing Congolese minerals that have been trafficked to Rwanda amounts to trade-based money laundering. Big tech, and the aeronautics and defense industries risk being held liable for their actions. In a rare confession, Paul Kagame has admitted that Rwanda is a transit hub for smuggled Congolese minerals; he points the finger at countries and downstream actors in the supply chain. He is sick of the hypocrisy (he's right on this point). Perhaps the solution for consumers after all this fraud and violence is to shame industry players into boycotting Rwanda, and buying from Congo directly.
Rwanda's leader @PaulKagame will brook no rival. The country's only viable opposition figure, Victoire Ingabire, has been barred from running in legislative & presidential elections slated for July 2024.
Pour rappel, les FDLR parternaires de Tshisekedi devraient être cantonnés en premier (ça fait déjà 30 ans). Les rebelles M23 sont un problème congolais et Tshisekedi n'a pas besoin de son homologue pour résoudre ce problème
Pour rappel, le Chef de l’État Félix Tshisekedi exige le retrait du territoire congolais des troupes du RDF, la cessation des hostilités et le cantonnement des rebelles du M23 avant de rencontrer Paul Kagame.
Au terme de près de trois heures de discussion, « le Président Félix Tshisekedi aurait donné son accord de principe pour rencontrer son homologue du Rwanda », affirme Tete Antonio, ministre angolais des Affaires étrangères.
What this dangerous clown means is that they are killing their own citizens, slaughtering Congolese Tutsi and they don't want anyone talking about it. Silence ils tuent!
@MarieNtabugi Foutaises. Ce n'est pas l'homosexualité qui a poussé l'État et l'Église congolaise à se désintéresser totalement du bien-être des enfants congolais pauvres. Le cardinal ne se soucie pas non plus des enfants!
The #Congolese special forces share a striking resemblance with the #Israeli military in their choice of rifles and attire.
This was prominently showcased during the inauguration parade in #Kinshasa.
Beyond the surface, Kin was conveying a clear message to #Kigali.
@michelawrong PK grasps the essence better than your supremacist mind ever will, esp this: if we are all equal before God, who are you to dictate how we live/think? And this: always reject people like you who want the "Global South" to remain powerless/poor. You are obsessed + pathetic. Shoo
@michelawrong Kigali has also forgotten about them after that fake stunt 13 years ago. Although Rene Mugenzi the Norwich Cathedral thief made a brief comeback with his arrest and conviction. You, @guardian + your farceurs are so boring and need to move on.
🚨🇨🇩A l’instant : lors de son dernier meeting à Kinshasa, le président Félix Tshisekedi affirme : « si vous me renouvelez votre confiance, et si le Rwanda continue ses velléités à l’est de notre territoire, je vais réunir les deux Chambres du Parlement en Congrès pour qu’on m’ autorise à leur déclarer la guerre et on ira jusqu’à Kigali. Dites à Kagamé qu'il a l'habitude de "s'amuser" avec les anciens dirigeants de la RDC. La RDC a changé. Je répondrai à toute provocation ».
