#PoisonMuyaya continues to twist a day of remembrance for the victims of the Gatumba massacre into another platform for anti-Rwanda propaganda. The Banyamulenge who were slaughtered in 2004 by DRC's Burundian allies were Congolese. Their memory is not Kinshasa’s political tool, nor is it an invitation for selective outrage while the Kinshasa-sponsored FDLR & other genocidal remnants still operate with impunity on DRC soil, in violation of the Washignton Peace Agreement. Deliberately obscuring/distracting from the real sources of insecurity in eastern DRC is the core of "instrumentalisation".
What is stopping our leaders from banning vaping and e-cigarettes as well, just as they did with Ibyuma, given the health risks they pose? Vaping exposes the lungs to ultrafine particles, heavy metals and toxic chemicals, including chemicals used in flavourings.

"The composition of this panel, bringing together a former member of the ex-FAR, General (Rtd) Ibingira from the RPA/RPF, and a former member of the FDLR, and what they have shared, reflects just how complex, diverse, and layered our history is. It is from that history that we should draw the lessons to move our country forward, in the way we want and through our own efforts.
Let me say this: a great deal of what has been said on this panel has been valuable, and the discussions around it have only reinforced those lessons. One thing I wanted to pick up on is what Ibingira mentioned about those ungrateful people who insult and disparage others.
My advice is simple: do not waste your energy fighting those who insult you. Put your energy into building, building yourselves, and building your country, so that insults and the people who make them become insignificant and have no impact on you. Ignore them, and keep doing what you are supposed to do. That is what matters.
Your response should be your actions. Eventually, those who thrive on insults grow tired and stay hostages of history." President Kagame | Unity Club Meeting.
