Everyone is aware of the tragic path that similar inflammatory rhetoric paved in Rwanda back in 1994.
The international community needs to awaken immediately and take decisive action to stop history from repeating itself.

Rwanda 1992 vs DR Congo 2023
The #FARDC spokesperson, Gen. Sylvain Ekenge, has publicly discouraged Congolese citizens from marrying #Tutsi women during a live broadcast on national television.
This constitutes an extremely serious development.

Rwanda 1993 vs DRC 2023 & 2025
Spreading such recycled ethnic venom while calling yourself a reverend and genocide survivor is deeply shameful.
Heal, don’t hate. Rwanda deserves better. Congolese tutsi and banyamulenge deserve their rights to nation and to live.

@RevChristineC
,recycling the old Hutu Power trope that Tutsi women are trained “sexual weapons” & “female spies” is the exact mirror image of the poisonous 1990 Hutu Ten Commandments that demonized Tutsi women to incite hatred and genocide. @Smith_JeffreyT@PVerlindenJst

2021–2022: M23 resurgence triggers spike. UN experts note escalating hate speech against Kinyarwanda-speakers. Social media amplifies conspiracy theories portraying Tutsi as "foreign invaders" seeking supremacy.
The world swore #NeverAgain after Rwanda. Belgium's colonial divisions & France's role in 1994 are lessons ignored. @UN warns of genocide risk in DRC.
@POTUS@EmmanuelMacron@AUC_PAPS@hrw Condemn this now! Sanction perpetrators,protect Congolese Tutsi before it's too late.
Post-1994: Hate speech lingers in eastern DRC as genocidaires flee to Congo (then Zaire). Kinyarwanda-speakers (including Congolese Tutsi/Banyamulenge) face ongoing negative stereotyping, especially in Kivu provinces.
All this is supported by tshisekedi's incompetent government
December 2025: FARDC spokesman Maj. Gen. Sylvain Ekenge on national TV: Warns Congolese men to "be very careful" marrying Tutsi women, implying infiltration & betrayal – direct echo of Hutu Commandment #1. Calls Tutsi "perfidious."
This is the same idiocy from Kinshasa...

😭The Dangerous Revival of Anti-Tutsi Hate Speech in the DRC.
============================
From 1990 "#Hutu_Ten_Commandments" which demonized Tutsi women as #infiltrators and #traitors if married to Hutu men to today's #DRCongo.
History is repeating itself in chilling ways.

#FARDC general is urging people to avoid marrying Tutsi women, promoting outright segregation & the world remains silent. @netanyahu, how would you respond if someone called for the world to shun all relationships with Jewish women, including marriage?
Tell us ! #EndSegregation
