🚨𝐒𝐔𝐌𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐘 𝐎𝐅 𝐊𝐄𝐘 𝐏𝐎𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐒 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐎𝐋𝐈𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐑 𝐍𝐃𝐔𝐇𝐔𝐍𝐆𝐈𝐑𝐄𝐇𝐄’𝐒 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐖 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 ‘𝐓𝐑𝐓 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐋𝐃’🚨

📌Minister @onduhungirehe explains that there is currently strong momentum for peace in eastern DRC, led by a joint African-led effort between the East African Community and SADC.

📌He notes that a virtual summit on March 24 appointed facilitators, briefed by leaders like Kenya’s President Ruto, to begin consultations. This process is reinforced by diplomatic steps such as the first meeting since 2022 between Presidents Kagame and Tshisekedi in Doha, which served as an important confidence-building measure.

📌Minister @onduhungirehe emphasizes that the key challenge to addressing insecurity in eastern DRC is political will—particularly from Kinshasa—as over ten agreements since the 1999 Lusaka ceasefire have collapsed due to bad faith.

📌He cites the failure of the Luanda and Nairobi processes, saying DRC’s refusal to talk directly with M23 played a major role. He sees recent changes in the U.S. stance on the matter as a breakthrough that could help shift the situation toward lasting peace.

📌Minister @onduhungirehe explains that Rwanda’s role has always been defensive, not aggressive, as it continues to rebuild itself post-genocide with reforms, investment, and governance improvements.

📌He says while Rwanda was transforming, groups like the FDLR—formed by perpetrators of the 1994 genocide—were entertained and supported by successive Congolese governments. Since 2018, FDLR has launched over 20 attacks on Rwandan territory, prompting Rwanda🇷🇼 to adopt defensive military measures.

📌 Minister @onduhungirehe references a November 2023 agreement signed in Angola with DRC’s foreign minister, aimed at neutralizing the FDLR and lifting Rwanda’s defensive posture.

📌He insists Rwanda’s military actions are often mischaracterized as support for M23. M23, he clarifies, is a Congolese movement representing a historically marginalized Congolese community that speaks Kinyarwanda—not a Rwandan force.

📌Minister @onduhungirehe stresses that M23 originates from a Congolese community with linguistic and cultural ties to Rwanda due to colonial-era border divisions, but they are fully Congolese.

📌He explains that M23 has taken cities like Goma and Bukavu while fighting the FDLR, which is also their enemy, just as it is Rwanda’s. He warns against confusing shared enemies with direct cooperation.

📌Minister @onduhungirehe flatly denies allegations that Rwanda supports M23, saying there is no credible evidence—just vague satellite images that fail to prove anything.

📌He questions the UN Group of Experts' claim that 4,000 Rwandan troops are in eastern DRC, asking why no bodies, prisoners, or captured soldiers have ever been shown. He calls these accusations baseless, built on assumptions rather than verifiable facts.

📌Minister @onduhungirehe challenges the credibility of the UN reports, saying the so-called “evidence” consists of distant images and unverified claims from a handful of experts.

📌He points out that if Rwanda truly had troops in DRC, there would be undeniable proof presented by the DRC government or media. He argues that no such evidence exists because the allegations are politically driven, not fact-based.

📌Minister @onduhungirehe also responds to confusion around President Kagame’s statements about M23, blaming journalists for misrepresenting him. He says President Kagame has always consistently denied Rwandan support for M23, but repeated bad-faith questioning leads to misunderstood or misquoted replies.

📌Minister @onduhungirehe dismisses accusations that Rwanda is in DRC for minerals, calling it a lazy and unfounded argument. He explains that Rwanda itself is rich in resources like gold, lithium, and the 3Ts, and has invested heavily in its mining sector—evidenced by visits like that of a Trump adviser to a Rwandan mining site.

📌He argues that this 'minerals narrative' is a distraction from the real security threats, including DRC-based armed groups and hostile rhetoric from Tshisekedi, who has openly threatened to bomb Rwanda📌.

📌 Minister @onduhungirehe concludes by addressing international aid cuts, saying Rwanda🇷🇼 has survived them before, including in 2012 and 2013. He describes Rwandans as resilient, emphasizing that the biggest fear isn’t sanctions but the possibility of failing to protect Rwandan citizens. He says Rwanda will continue defending its people and sovereignty—no matter what external pressures arise

At ETO Kicukiro, the Tutsi were under UN watch. But when the Belgians pulled out, they left them to die. That decision empowered the killers.

MONUSCO has never been accountable. It’s failed to protect civilians from the ADF, CODECO, and DRC-backed FDLR militias. Worse, it’s been caught transporting valuable minerals, raising suspicions of complicity in illegal trade. #UselessMONUSCO

[Intare batinya @IntareBa]

MONUSCO’s so-called “peacekeeping” mission costs $1 billion per year, yet millions are still displaced, women are still raped, and entire communities are still persecuted. It’s the biggest UN failure in history. Get out! #UselessMONUSCO

[Intare batinya @IntareBa]

MONUSCO is not a peacekeeping mission—it’s a looting machine. UN vehicles have been caught smuggling minerals from eastern DRC. Powerful countries use MONUSCO to steal resources while Congolese civilians suffer. Time to shut it down! #UselessMONUSCO

[Intare batinya @IntareBa]

MONUSCO was mandated to neutralize armed groups, yet it only targeted M23 while letting FDLR roam free. Even after 20+ UN resolutions since 2003, FDLR remains active, attacking civilians with MONUSCO turning a blind eye. Enough is enough! #UselessMONUSCO

[Bob clat✊ Africa @iya_marere]

MONUSCO has been in the DRC for 25+ years with billions in funding, yet insecurity has only worsened. Armed groups have multiplied from 5 to 260 under its watch. Instead of protecting civilians, it collaborates with militias like FDLR. Get out! #UselessMONUSCO

[Bob clat✊ Africa @iya_marere]

Les crimes de MONUSCO sont nombreux: complicité avec des groupes armés, trafic de minerais, violences sexuelles… Au lieu d’assurer la paix, elle a participé à la destruction de la RDC. Elle n’a plus sa place là-bas! #UselessMONUSCO

[Bob clat✊ Africa @iya_marere]

En 1994, l’ONU a abandonné les Tutsi du Rwanda face au génocide. Aujourd’hui, elle abandonne les Congolais Tutsi face aux massacres en RDC. MONUSCO a échoué, comme l’ONU a échoué en 1994! #UselessMONUSCO
