#Masisi Territory #UNMappingReport
According to the #UNMappingReport, Masisi Territory witnessed repeated massacres of civilians and refugees between November 1996 and April 1997. While some attacks were attributed to fleeing ex-FAR/Interahamwe, the report documents numerous allegations against AFDL/APR forces involving large-scale killings of Hutu #Banyarwanda civilians and #Rwandan Hutu refugees.
On 5 December 1996, #AFDL/APR elements allegedly killed at least 97 people in Matanda, most of them Hutu refugees and Hutu Banyarwanda. Two days later, on 7 December, approximately 310 civilians, including many women and children, were reportedly massacred in Kinigi after being summoned to a public meeting and killed with hoes and hatchets. On 9 December, around 280 civilians were allegedly killed in Katoyi after being gathered for another meeting, bound, and executed with axes and other weapons.
The violence intensified later that month. Around 23 December 1996, #AFDL/#APR forces allegedly killed more than 460 civilians in Kausa, most of them Hutu Banyarwanda, after promising reconciliation and inviting residents to a public gathering. Many victims were reportedly beaten to death with hammers, while others were shot as they attempted to flee. Women were also reportedly raped after the massacre.
The soldiers gathered the villagers in the village square under the pretext of a public meeting. They then opened fire, bound the civilians, and separated them into different groups. Some were locked inside buildings, while others were taken to nearby fields or to #Kanyabihanga Hill, where most were killed with hammer blows. Those who attempted to escape were shot. After the massacre, many women were reportedly raped. The victims included large numbers of women, children, and Rwandan refugee survivors from the Mugunga camp.
On 24–25 December, approximately 160 civilians were allegedly killed in Nyakariba Parish, where victims were gathered under false pretences, bound, and killed with hammer blows before being buried in mass graves. The report further alleges that, in 1997, soldiers returned to exhume and burn some of the remains.
According to the Mapping Report, killings continued into 1997. On 9 January, between 107 and 134 civilians were allegedly killed in Bitonga after soldiers accused residents of collaborating with ex-FAR/Interahamwe. Around 20 January, 14 members of the same family, including children, were reportedly killed in #Kanyangote, while at least 20 civilians were allegedly killed in Kalangala on 25 January.
On 23 February 1997, AFDL/#APR forces allegedly killed more than 100 civilians in Rubaya, many of them Hutu Banyarwanda, during operations targeting armed groups. Around the same period, civilians reportedly disappeared in Nambi, where at least 15 bodies were later recovered while many others remained missing.
In April 1997, additional killings were documented in Chandarama, and around 16 April, approximately 100 civilians were reportedly massacred in Mweso, with victims shot, burned alive, or buried in mass graves.
Overall, the UN Mapping Report portrays Masisi Territory as one of the areas most severely affected by repeated massacres, documenting allegations of thousands of civilian deaths across numerous villages, often following the same pattern of deception, forced assembly, and mass execution.

#Walikale Territory: Mass Killings of #Rwandan Refugees
As I reread the #UNMappingReport, I take you deeper into #Walikale.
This opening paragraph is one of the reasons why I have come to hate @RwandaMod and to reflect critically on its national character. It raises serious questions that deserve careful examination in light of the evidence presented in the report. (#pigs)
When #AFDL/#APR forces entered #Walikale Territory in December 1996, they reportedly held public meetings aimed at the local #Zairian population. According to the #UNMappingReport , these meetings portrayed the #Rwandan #Hutu refugees as collectively responsible for the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda and alleged that they were preparing to commit genocide against civilians in Zaire. The refugees were frequently described as "#pigs" ravaging local communities, and local residents were allegedly encouraged to help locate and kill them. Several sources cited by the Mapping Report further state that "#pigs" became the code word used by AFDL/#APR #RDF soldiers to refer to the #Rwandan #Hutu #refugees . When civilians questioned why they were prevented from entering certain areas, soldiers reportedly replied that they were "killing the #pigs."
@PaulKagame , a question for history: according to the #UNMapping Report, were thousands of Rwandan refugees reduced to the label of “pigs” to make their suffering easier to justify? If the word “pig” became a code name for human beings, what does that say about the value placed on civilian lives?
How should future generations understand a military campaign where refugees were allegedly portrayed as a threat simply because of their identity? Were they all “pigs,” or were many of them human beings who deserved protection and dignity? #Teamwork

Resume reading
According to the #UNMappingReport, the massacres in Walikale Territory followed a recurring pattern. After locating groups of Rwandan refugees, #AFDL/APR forces allegedly opened fire before promising survivors repatriation to Rwanda through UNHCR. Once refugees had assembled, many were reportedly killed with firearms, hammers, hoes, iron bars, axes, or sticks, while those attempting to escape were shot. The report also cites witnesses who alleged that, in 1999, APR/ANC soldiers returned to some massacre sites to exhume and burn bodies.
From 9 December 1996, AFDL/APR soldiers allegedly killed several hundred refugees, including women and children, at Hombo Bridge. Additional refugees were reportedly burned alive near Kampala, and many women were allegedly raped before being killed. Around the same period, several hundred refugees were reportedly massacred near #Chambucha after being promised repatriation, with many bodies thrown into the #Lowa River.
After the capture of the #Hombo–#Walikale road, refugees fleeing toward Masisi established temporary camps at Biriko. Around 17 December 1996, hundreds of refugees were allegedly killed there, followed by similar attacks in #Kilambo, Busurungi, #Nyamimba, and Kifuruka.
The same pattern was documented in #Musenge and Mutiko, where hundreds of refugees were allegedly intercepted at checkpoints, promised repatriation to Rwanda, and then killed with firearms or blunt weapons. The #UNMappingReport also states that local civilians were sometimes encouraged or forced to bury the victims.
The killings reportedly continued in Walikale-Centre and #Kariki, where an unknown number of refugees were allegedly killed, with many bodies dumped in the Lowa River. The UN Mapping Team later reported that human remains were still visible at the #Kariki site.
Overall, the UN Mapping Report documents allegations that at least around 1,600 refugees were killed in the major massacres recorded in Walikale Territory.
These people on pictures are not #pigs. Sectarian recruitments.#RDF
@NgobokaNgabo @RwandaMoD Stupid , #UNMappingReport and https://t.co/KftUzzKu12 are AI generated Ideas
@uonbi Don't get drawn into matters you don't understand. Stop doing PR for a genocidier, the most vicious creature to ever walk the african continent, and the most prolific killer of african women and children since Leopold in the congo. stop glorifying Kagame. #UNMappingReport
Typical #Rwandan blackmail. They tried the same in 2010 to prevent the release of the #UNMappingReport on the #DRC.
Rwanda warned on Saturday that it was ready to withdraw its troops from Mozambique's Cabo Delgado province, where they are helping to counter deadly insurgent attacks, if sufficient international funding for the mission is not assured. https://t.co/o3tzoUm4eS
Aba ni bamwe mu byihebe bigiye kuba amateka. Biruta we niyivana muri Doha adafashwe azaba agira amahirwe yo kujya gusezera kuri family ye. #UN2773 resolution na #UNMappingReport bigiye guhana agatsiko k'amabandi. Kaga agira amahirwe we wipfiriye kare.
In a previous conversation with @JudiRever, we discussed the crimes committed by @PaulKagame’s troops and how justice and accountability are essential to ending the cycle of violence in the region.

@michelawrong #RPF's tested methods of mass killings& concealment being applied in Goma once again: #Agafuni #Akandoyi #Disapearances #Inama #Konteneri,..
Result of the failure to officially investigate #RPF's previous war crimes & crimes of genocide both in Rwa& in #RDC. #UNMappingReport.
@MAbdallaziz Do not lie to people, all his madness about "security" is trying to get away with his crimes that are well documented. #Unmappingreport, the rest is nonsense.
@AFRICANDEMOC My x one year ago! It is a great idea! Rwanda & Burundi are countries that should not have existed. The only contribution to Africa is Genocide:
#Burundi: Hutu Genocide 1973
#Rwanda: #Rwandan Genocide 1994
#Rwanda Hutu Genocide 1996-2005 #Unmappingreport

@JeannetteBah @albcontact Ça me choque d'appartenir au Rwanda rwa Gasabo,je serais heureux d'appartenir au grand RDC ou la Tanzanie! Le Burundi et le Rwanda ce sont des pays qui ne devraient pas exister lors du partage de l'Afrique.
@Benicien1 @Chrisbalembo @christlilembu @FARDC_officiel Ce n'est pas parce qu'ils content sur la sécurité, c'est parce qu'ils des criminels notoires qui veulent mourir sans être amenés devant la justice. #UNMAPPINGREPORT
@SadateMunyakazi @AsstSecStateAF Vous avez raison Ces États-Unis ont supervisé le génocide rwandais Rwandais de Byumba à Onatra et Mbandaka! #unmappingreport

@CoulibalyBojana @krusanga @guardian The #extensive use of #edged weapons (primarily #hammers) and the apparently #systematic nature of the massacres of survivors after the camps had been taken
suggests that the numerous deaths #cannot be attributed to the #hazards of war or seen as
This @RDCongoMAE is fairly equipped to defy @RwandaMFA's worn-out,repugnant & groundless narrative about their motives to invade #DRC: land given to drc_ #Bénin; #DRC citizens'protection; #FAR_FDLR that wasn't really their priority since 1996, the reason for #UNMAPPINGREPORT.
@JanvierPopote @TEDDYMAZINA @KabarebeJames His message is clear, Akarere twarakayogoje, which is true!
Kuyogoza bivuga iki popote?
Do you ignore that most of #Tutsis refugees left in 1962, not in 1959 (#RPF narrative), due to #Inyenzi attacks?
The #UNMAPPINGREPORT
Ngiryo iyogoza.
Wow! We've now come to the point where the @RwandaGov endorses the content of #UN experts' "leaked" reports! This will remind many about the #UNMappingreport which was also leaked! I look forward to read the recommendations of this "report" to the Government of #Rwanda.
The UN Group of Experts Report on DRC leaked to media vindicates what Rwanda has consistently said.
The Congolese army (FARDC) continues to directly support several irregular armed groups, and in particular works/fights closely with the Rwandan genocidal militia FDLR. 1/3
@Ericson_Ttom @NKilufya @jacquelinemputu @Bibishe6 @KosoCharlotte @deborahdiakanua @mazambiofficiel @KamusakyJossar1 @rispykilaba @nlandumagloire1 @fatshi13 @Presidence_RDC @gateteviews @PaulKagame Il suggère avec arrogance que le Rwanda peut mieux faire! Depuis 1996 #RDF sont allés en RDC apparemment pour combattre des hommes armés ex-FAR, mais ils ont brillé en assassinant des civils, en particulier des enfants, des femmes et des personnes âgées malades #UNMAPPINGREPORT.
