"300 Tutsi homes burned to the ground in Nturo by FDLR!"
A report by Bojana Coulibaly

As part of a book project on the Mechanisms of Genocide Ideology in North Kivu, my research partner and I went to investigate the infamous attack on the village of Nturo which took place in October 2023.

➡️ After conducting interviews with Nturo residents, we found that Nturo had about 300 homes owned by Congolese Tutsi. They were attacked by #FDLR on October 2nd, 3rd and 4th, 2023. This was 6 months after the #M23 withdrew from 80% of their previously controlled territory in the Rutshuru and Masisi areas, and one month before the withdrawal of the EAC forces.

➡️ During the main attack, the area was under control of the Burundian EAC contingent.

➡️ We found out that after the #M23 withdrew in March 2023, the 300 Nturo families were systematically targeted by FDLR-Nyatura-Wazalendo. The residents were persecuted and had to pay monthly taxes for cattle and land ownership to the #FDLR. People were killed when they could not pay the taxes.

➡️ The FDLR attacked Nturo several times after M23 withdrew, on the watch of the Burundian EAC forces. All the Nturo residents we interviewed agree that the Burundian EAC soldiers gave a green light to the FDLR-Nyatura-Wazalendo on the day of the main attack. This was confirmed in a video by one of the assailants. The complicity of the Burundian EAC forces with FDLR may be explained by their endorsement of anti-Tutsi genocide ideology.

➡️ On October 2nd, the big attack began. Two Nturo residents got killed during the attack. On October 3rd, FDLR, Nyatura and their families came and looted all the homes, loading trucks with the belongings of Nturo residents. Most residents had fled on October 2nd and 3rd. On October 4th, the assailants came with yellow canisters full of gasoline. They deliberately sprayed all the houses and set fire, which led to the total annihilation of the village of Nturo.

➡️ As we can see in the video footage, FDLR-Nyatura-Wazalendo clearly acknowledged that they were wiping of the map a "Tutsi village".

➡️ During the attack, the majority of Nturo residents fled to the Bwiza IDP camp where 17,000 IDPs had gathered from several parts of eastern DRC, after facing persecution by #FDLR & Nyatura for decades.

➡️ Since November 2023, Nturo residents have began to return to Nturo to rebuild their homes. Those who came in November 2023 witnessed attacks carried out by a FARDC Sukhoi. Indeed, according to the residents, seven bombs were dropped on Nturo.

➡️ When we visit Nturo today, we can see that all the houses have recently been rebuilt.

➡️ ➡️What happened in Nturo is illustrative of the politics of divisionism used by the Government of Kinshasa in its conflict against #M23, particularly through its collaboration with the genocidal force #FDLR. It is also representative of the impact of genocide ideology in DR Congo.

➡️➡️While the attack is slightly mentioned in the December 2023 UN Group of Experts report, it is certainly inadequate as no statement was done by @MONUSCO & no investigation was ever carried out. In fact, around the time of the withdrawal of the EAC forces in November 2023, the Burundian army joined the DRC government coalition comprising FARDC, @MONUSCO, #FDLR, Wazalendo and European Mercenaries, to fight against #M23.

➡️➡️The total annihilation of Nturo is proof that there is ongoing ethnic cleansing of the Congolese Tutsi in eastern DRC. It shows the impact of genocide ideology in the region, as systematic attacks on Congolese Tutsi in Kitchanga and Bwiza by FDLR also took place.

➡️➡️This tragedy similarly highlights that Nturo residents were feeling safe under the presence of #M23. However, when #M23 withdrew in March 2023, letting EAC take over, the security of Nturo residents drastically decreased. This particular element seems to legitimize the existence of #M23.

➡️➡️➡️ In view of these observations, could we conclude that #M23 is the solution to insecurity in Eastern DRC?

🚨🇷🇼PRESIDENT KAGAME DROPS BOMBSHELL ON RWANDA’S ROLE IN CONGO

Is Rwanda supporting M23 in the DRC?

@PaulKagame:

"Rwanda has taken defensive measures.

It’s up to anyone to interpret what that means."

Part 2 of my interview with the President of Rwanda coming soon...

[Yolande Makolo 🇷🇼 @YolandeMakolo]

Important details on what was discovered in Goma: “Those weapons were not for attacking a small rebel group like M23, they had been assembled to invade Rwanda. It was a matter of time.”

What would have happened had Rwanda not adopted the right security posture? While Rwanda & DRC were talking in Luanda & with others in the international community about a political solution, President Tshisekedi was amassing heavy arms & troops at our border and boasting publicly about attacking Rwanda.

@UN @AlJazeera @BelgiumMFA @EmmanuelMacron @HumanRightsCtte lies their eyes down when it comes to these aspects the favor well being of #Africans #DRCongo #Bukavu #Goma. Instead they deploy European mercenaries to kill the #DRCongo people. Shame on you.

Citizens of Bukavu have embraced the new Vision of cleanliness. They have swooped pangas and machetes with cleaning Equipment! New Beginnings under the leadership of M23/AFC

[El Magico @ebeegeexi]

Certain cerveaux fonctionnent à l’envers! L’aide de la Belgique à été suspendu/ réjeté par le Rwanda et non la Belgique. Au fait c’était combien? 95 millions d’Euros couvrant de 2024 à 2029 cela c’est quoi? C’est un montant que même un seul patriote peut payer pour son pays.
Tu sais bien que un de multiple airbus de Rwandair coute environs 280 millions d’euros! Compare cette aide aux avoir du pays c’est rien.

[Sir. Uracyaryamye @byukavuba]

After torturing the very people they were supposed to protect and squandering their money in luxury hotels across Europe, the DRC government is now begging its citizens to finance their criminal activities.

Tshisekedi must fall. https://t.co/W2CDfs40By

[Cutie Yummy ❣ @cutiesyummy]

Look at these Genocidal real action that are supported and raised by you #Unitedstates #TheUK @UN @AlJazeera and sanctions contradict with the right description you've said.

1. You're are not the teachers.
2. Rwandans know what is better for them.

[Sir. Uracyaryamye @byukavuba]

@AsstSecStateAF You couldn't sanction the DRC government for arming kids and civilians, yet you impose your baseless sanctions on our hero, Gen. (Rtd) James Kabarebe.

You're just exposing your hypocrisy.

[Cutie Yummy ❣ @cutiesyummy]

#TheUS @UN and other buddies that matter kept quiet and #Thiseked's money acted like a glue zip on their lips. We want you to know that your silly language of human rights are and will still be useless until #Africans stand and define what better and fit for them.

[Wilson Kwihagana @WilsonKwi]

@AsstSecStateAF You have been silent about this👇👇 ongoing Genocide against some group of Congolese by the Government of Tshisekedi, but you have neglected it and choose to sanction the liberators ( M23) who are saving their own people.

[Cutie Yummy ❣ @cutiesyummy]

@evaristemur @AsstSecStateAF The Sanctions for Kababe are not as they are but Rwandans see them as battle fight and war to win. 1994 tragedy Rwandans were abandoned by those who are busy sanctioning one who saved the nation and stop killing of Tutse by ones who are doing same in #DRCONGO

[Cutie Yummy ❣ @cutiesyummy]

@BoboTorotoro @evaristemur @AsstSecStateAF The worry isn't about what percentage of economy's sources but who is saying that. Who are you??

Let it be and of course it Rwandans who gonna look for substitute not you or any of those clappers and neither FDRL that you always praise.

[Josephine Murphy @JosyMurphy]

Stop spreading lies!
The crisis in Congo is caused by bad leadership, not Rwanda. Your govt arms militias like FDLR, who target Rwandophones & Abanyamulenge. Instead of protecting your people, you fuel violence. The world must stop believing lies & hold you leaders accountable.

Rwanda-Belgium’s painful memories

✍🏾 They exiled King Musinga in 1931
✍🏾 Belgium introduced divisive IDs in 1933
✍🏾 Belgium backed radical Hutus in 1959
✍🏾 They (Belgium) abandoned Tutsis at Eto Kicukiro in 1994 in hands of killers.

✍🏾 in EDRC crisis, they took part and started to tarnish Rwanda’s image!

[Umunyarwandakazi @I__Brenda_]

We repeat again and again. Rwanda is not killing 🇷🇼🇷🇼🇷🇼🇷🇼🇷🇼🇷🇼🇷🇼

Let's all do our best to stay educated and informed!
