Congolese vs Human Rights Watch.

@hrw, credibility demands consistency and honesty, two things which are no longer exist in your reporting.

Since at least 2017, the Banyamulenge community in Minembwe has faced killings, displacement, destruction of villages, and a blockade depriving civilians of basic necessities. Yet your silence on these realities has been deafening.

Many Congolese believe your reports simply echo the narrative of the Kinshasa regime while ignoring abuses committed by its allies, including Wazalendo militias and the FDLR. Videos of killings, persecution, and abuses continue to circulate widely, but your accountability remains selective.

Writing reports from offices more than 2,000 km away while dismissing the voices of affected communities destroys trust and raises questions about impartiality.

The videos below directly contradict the narrative promoted in HRW reports. Congolese communities are speaking for themselves, and the world is listening.

The international community deserves facts, not propaganda disguised as human rights reporting.

Truth will outlive every attempt to silence it, and history will judge those who looked away.

“If M23 is Congolese, how did it become a Rwandan problem or Kagame’s problem? Since M23 are Congolese, it is a Congolese problem, and therefore we need a Congolese solution.

I have never seen citizens with issues against their own government but engage in dialogue to resolve them.”

[Goma 24 News @goma24news]

The Congolese Tutsi from the Banyamulenge community who have fled to Kenya call @WilliamsRuto to intervene in their plight. They accuse Tshisekedi and the Burundian President @GeneralNeva of murdering them, asserting they are foreigners and must leave Congo. In one video, Ndayishimiye said that they are not Congolese because they do not have a Chef coutumier (Customary Chef) and Tshisekedi keeps calling them infiltrators (infiltrés). @KagutaMuseveni @SuluhuSamia @PaulKagame @AKibasumba @AkalizaUwase @mkainerugaba @UKinDRC @albcontact @AndrewMwenda @USEmbKinshasa, @realDonaldTrump , @StateDept, @Masboulos, @onduhungirehe, @prevotmaxime, @US_SrAdvisorAF,  @jlprdeangola @SecScottBessent @SecRubio @MaishaRdc

In communities around Goma in eastern DR Congo, families are facing severe malnutrition. The World Food Programme is providing vital support, but limited resources are making it difficult to meet the growing needs.

"DRC government cannot continue to get a pass while it ignores the plight of Tutsis Congolese, It's about time for some attention to the suffering of Congo's Tutsis, Justice for Congo's Tutsis is a foundational problem which a long-term solution must address!" cautioned the US seasoned diplomat Tibor Nagy.

🛑There was no "liberation struggle" for Rwanda, because even now the country remains shackled. It was simply a struggle to seize power at whatever cost.

Miss @JollyMutesi , you are a fellow Rwandan with the right to express your thoughts just as I do, but your word is not final. Do you understand that❓

First and foremost, you must know history thoroughly before explaining it. When the #RPA Inkotanyi invaded Rwanda in 1990 as Rwandans seeking to return with dignity, the government eventually agreed to the #Arusha Accords .

They agreed to return with honor and join others to lead and build the nation together.
Once everything was settled, due to greed and selfishness of @PaulKagame , he shot down the plane of President #Habyarimana .

This happened without regard for the volatile atmosphere or the fact that our Tutsi parents inside Rwanda, accused of collaborating with the Inkotanyi, would be killed as a result.

As @titorutaremara4 put it "You can't make an omelet without breaking eggs." They sacrificed our families just to monopolize power, leaving them to be exterminated by the #Interahamwe. Never leave this part out pleaseeee.

Furthermore, saying the Inkotanyi didn’t revenge is a lie. It wasn't just revenge ,many innocent Hutus,children, the elderly, and pregnant women,were killed through the #DMI , as former RPA soldiers testify today.

They were even pursued into #DRCongo . The fact that these witnesses are silenced doesn't mean it didn't happen.

We also cannot forget our Tutsi Uncles who went to help the Inkotanyi only to be killed after accused by being spies of Habyarimana , or the #RPA soldiers killed for trying to rescue Tutsis from the Interahamwe.

The mission wasn't to save people Tutsi it was to seize power.

[Isabelle Karake @IsabelleKarake]

Indeed, as British investigative journalist @lindamelvern has noted, denial of the Genocide against the Tutsi began in the UN Security Council itself, where the genocidal government still held a non-permanent seat and continued to attend meetings, even as the Council debated abandoning the Tutsi to their killers.

Each session of the Council showed the world would not intervene, emboldening the killers whose representative was in the room. The powers that be allowed the very government carrying out the extermination to lie again and again, creating the political cover to withdraw UN troops and look the other way.

Denial then re-emerged in the refugee camps in the Congo, all of which were controlled by the genocidaires.

It later moved into the chambers of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, where the architects of the genocide and their lawyers pushed narratives designed to rewrite history, portraying it as a tribal conflict, a spontaneous outburst of rage, or unplanned chaos.

All these theories, aimed at denying the facts, shifting blame when outright denial became untenable, and eventually promoting a “double genocide” conspiracy theory to place killers and our heroes on the same moral footing, have been debunked time and again.

Yet large sections of the western media continue to engage in denial.

We will continue to push back until there is no space and no tolerance for the greatest crime against humanity or for the criminal enterprise that is genocide denial.
