President Kagame is in Nairobi, Kenya for a conclave meeting on the security situation in eastern DRC hosted by EAC Chairperson Uhuru Kenyatta and attended by Presidents Museveni of Uganda, Ndayishimiye of Burundi, Salva Kiir of South Sudan and Tshisekedi of DRC.

[ishimwemaria @ishimwemaria]

Reports from #UN report that every govt, including that of Tshisekedi, collaborates #FDLR. Independent investigations report that #FARDC officers have business with FDLR. The question is how can violence end when officers are in business with people they supposed to fight. 2/1

The #DRC authorities should be ashamed to think that they can cover up their own failures in the fight against terrorist groups operating in the east by blaming #Rwanda. We are in 2022, that strategy has not worked, does not work, will not work.
