Ms @HarianaVeras,
You stated that you "stand firmly by [your] professional integrity as a journalist committed to truth, accuracy, and ethical reporting". Those are indeed noble values and principles that should guide every journalist.
However, "professional integrity" should not be just proclaimed by the journalist him/herself; it should be demonstrated by the quality of the regular reporting and the daily work of the journalist.
If we put aside the frequent visits to Kinshasa and Bujumbura, the gifts you publicly received and accepted from President Tshisekedi or the holding of a microphone of the DRC State TV in Washington or in New York, one should look at your reporting of the conflict in eastern DRC over the past years to check if you are indeed a journalist with "professional integrity".
FIRST, you have never ever, in any of your reportings and interviews, mentioned the acronym "F.D.L.R", let alone condemning the collaboration of this genocidal militia with the Congolese army FARDC or denouncing its ethnic crimes in eastern DRC.
Here, there are two options: either you have never heard about the FDLR, in which case we should question your "professionalism", or your are aware of its existence and its crimes but chose not to report about it, in which case we should question your "integrity".
SECOND, you have completely ignored, in all your reportings, the ongoing persecution of the Congolese Tutsi, including the Banyamulenge. Their villages are regularly targeted by airstrikes by FARDC's attack drones and fighter jets; 300 hundred homes of Congolese Tutsi in a specific village in Masisi territory were burned downed by Kinshasa-backed militias in October 2023; the Banyamulenge were victims of a blockade in Minembwe by the Burundian army, preventing them from accessing markets; and individual Congolese Tutsi (including FARDC officers) were lynched, burned alive and even cannibalised in broad daylight.
Yet, you always look the other way and never reported about any of these many cases of persecution of women, men and children, just because on how they were born. Question: are the Congolese Tutsi not among the African people you are supposed to "advocate" for in Washington? Are they not human beings enough to warrant your precious attention?
THIRD, as a woman and RTNC reporter, why did you keep silent in December 2025 when General Sylvain Ekenge, the then Spokesperson of the Congolese Army, disparaged Congolese Tutsi women on RTNC, warning his male compatriots to never marry them, as they are "evil"?
Not only did you refuse to condemn this despicable slur against women on RTNC, but you even doubled down by wielding a RTNC microphone at The White House, as if you were defiantly endorsing the hate speech of the DRC State television.
FOURTH, as you gave two interviews to President Tshisekedi and one to President Ndayishimiye of Burundi, why did you, as a "professional" journalist, forget to ask them basic questions about their public threats to bomb Kigali and to overthrow the Government of Rwanda? Can you claim that you never heard about those threats, which went viral on social media, or did you conclude that those threats were justified, not worth reporting?
FIFTH, why the "professional" journalist and "expert" on Congo that you are, never reported on the use of foreign mercenaries by President Tshisekedi, who were deployed in violation of a OAU/AU Resolution of 1977 and a UN Convention of 1989?
More generally, how come do we never hear, in your reportings, questions and interviews, even the slightest criticism against the DRC Government and President Tshisekedi, using available reports by the UN and other international organisations?
If this grossly biased and one-sided reporting can be described as "professional integrity" by "a journalist committed to truth, accuracy, and ethical reporting", I guess we should urgently rethink about the definition of journalism.
What a night! #2025EndOfYearParty
An evening filled with joy, happiness, and unforgettable moments.
I’m always reminded how blessed we are as a nation.
In the presence of Our President and First Lady, you feel hope, strength, and possibility.
Rwanda 🇷🇼 is Blessed beyond measure.
@Patriote257@PaulKagame Never take lightly a leader who has dedicated his life to serving his people. Our President, Paul Kagame, deserves respect for his sacrifice and commitment. Anyone who chooses to undermine such leadership should understand that actions have consequences.
Mikel Arteta has lost 2 PL matches away from home this season against teams that can beat any team in the world on their good day, and his Arsenal team is currently sitting top of the Premier League table, 2 points ahead. One defeat in 19 games is not a bad streak by any metric or standard.
Some fans are already having a meltdown because Arsenal lost to Aston Villa yesterday, and calling for Arteta to be sacked. Are you lot even serious? Sack Arteta and hire whom? Ruben Amorim?
You can't lose your head when your team loses for the first time in 19 games. Lol
You're not forced to support this beautiful football club. You still have time to jump ship to any of the oil clubs, and allow the real ones to support the team.
For some of us, Arsenal is a way of life & we breathe Arsenal. Breathe Gooners. It's a long season. It's a marathon and not a sprint. The team will have a good rest and regroup again to continue the chase. Hopefully, we'll get some bodies back from injuries.
Remember, Mikel Arteta is fighting against principalities which are Pep Guardiola & multiple injuries to key players, but he'll triumph at the end of the season.
Again, breathe and support the team. If you're not ready to breathe and support the team, you can fvck off to any of the oil clubs. Shalom!
The Arsenal will be back from next weekend. COYG! ❤️🤍
