🚨 “THE DIASPORA AT THE TABLE” — BUT WHOSE DIASPORA?
Atlanta, 6/27/2026

At the US‑DRC Strategic Partnership Forum in Atlanta, the truth was impossible to ignore.
Minister @PatrickMuyaya, the event’s featured speaker — never showed up.
The DRC Ambassador and delegation arrived over an hour late, and the second session was canceled altogether.

Even worse, Banyamulenge community members were largely barred from entering.
When one courageous Mahoro Peace Association (MPA) Georgia member finally took the microphone, he asked the question that mattered:
👉 “How can investors trust a government that bombs hospitals and schools in Minembwe, imposes a humanitarian blockade, and persecutes its own citizen, the Banyamulenge and Tutsi civilians?”

His microphone was snatched away. His question ignored.
Outside, a spontaneous protest erupted — proof that silenced voices will always find a way to be heard.

This pattern repeats at every international forum: Banyamulenge and Tutsi diaspora voices are muted, excluded, and dismissed.
We condemn this silencing and demand action:
✊ End the humanitarian blockade on Minembwe
✊ Stop drone attacks on civilians and hospitals
✊ Guarantee humanitarian access to eastern DRC
✊ End ethnic persecution and ensure real diaspora inclusion

We thank the MPA Georgia, Tennessee, Ohio members and others for standing tall — the voice of the voiceless, speaking for every child near a bombed school and every family trapped behind the blocus.

The diaspora deserves a real seat at the table — not a staged forum where truth is silenced.
We will keep showing up. We will not be erased. ✊🏿

#DRC - President Evariste Ndayishimiye and Massad Boulos: The last men still believing in their agreement with President Felix Tshisekedi

President Félix Tshisekedi is known for failing to honour political and security agreements. Currently, President Évariste Ndayishimiye and Massad Boulos, Senior Advisor to the President of the U.S on Arab and Middle Eastern and African Affairs, remain the only actors with a strong faith in their agreements with president Tshisekedi.

A pattern of agreements followed by reversal

1. The Tshisekedi–Kabund Political Alliance (ended 2022). Relations between President Tshisekedi and Jean-Marc Kabund, formerly one of his closest political allies and a senior UDPS leader, deteriorated rapidly in 2022 following a confrontation involving their respective security personnel. Kabund was subsequently removed as First Vice-President of the National Assembly, later arrested, and imprisoned, marking the collapse of their political alliance.

2. The Geneva Agreement (11–12 November 2018)
Tshisekedi signed the Geneva Agreement with six other opposition leaders, endorsing Martin Fayulu as the joint opposition candidate for the presidential election of 23 December 2018. Within twenty-four hours, however, he publicly withdrew his signature, explaining that he had come under pressure from members of his party (UDPS).

3. Termination of the FCC–CACH Power-Sharing Agreement (December 2020)

Following his inauguration in January 2019, President Tshisekedi governed under a power-sharing arrangement between his coalition (CACH) and former President Joseph Kabila's coalition (FCC). In December 2020, Tshisekedi publicly terminated this arrangement, bringing the coalition to an end and fundamentally reshaping the country's political landscape.

4. Military and security cooperation with Rwanda

When President Tshisekedi came to power, the DRC and Rwanda entered into a series of agreements aimed at strengthening bilateral relations, particularly in the areas of security and military cooperation. During this period, relations between the two countries improved significantly, with high-level official visits and regular exchanges between their governments. President Kagame was even celebrated by supporters in Kinshasa with the slogan "Nani aboyi Kagame?" ("Who would dare to hate Kagame?").

However, relations between the two countries subsequently deteriorated, the agreements ceased to be implemented, and President Tshisekedi adopted an increasingly confrontational stance towards Rwanda, including public statements threatening military action.

5. The Agreement with Vital Kamerhe

Before assuming power, Félix Tshisekedi and Vital Kamerhe entered into a political power-sharing agreement under the Cap pour le Changement (CACH)coalition. They have agreed that Tshisekedi would stand as the coalition's presidential candidate in the 2018 election, while Kamerhe would support his candidacy. In return, it was agreed that Kamerhe would be backed to run for the presidency in the subsequent election, with Tshisekedi expected to support him, potentially as Prime Minister. However, Tshisekedi imprisoned Vital Kamerhe and sought a second presidential term in 2023, effectively abandoning the reported succession agreement with Kamerhe.

6. The East African Community Regional Force (2023)

Following the deployment of the East African Community (EAC) Regional Force, which contributed to reducing hostilities in eastern DRC, President Tshisekedi requested the withdrawal of the force in December 2023, effectively bringing the regional arrangement to an end.

7. Negotiations with AFC/M23

Several rounds of negotiations involving AFC/M23—including processes in Doha, Addis Ababa, Luanda, and Geneva—have been followed by failure to honour commitments.

8. Engagement with Banyamulenge Leaders

President Tshisekedi met with representatives of the Banyamulenge community on at least seven occasions. During these meetings, he agreed to protect their community, acknowledging its vulnerability, persecution, and long-standing marginalisation.

However, since early 2025, his government has imposed a humanitarian blockade on Banyamulenge communities. It has been conducting drone strikes in areas inhabited by the Banyamulenge, resulting in traum and civilian casualties and further displacement.

9. The Washington Peace Agreement

The peace agreement signed between Rwanda and the DRC in Washington did not produce the expected reduction in hostilities. During, and after the signing of the agreement, the DRC government continued military operations, including the use of armed drones and cooperation with foreign military personnel.

10. SAMIDRC Withdrawal and Belgium's Position

The withdrawal of the SADC Mission in the DRC (SAMIDRC) was mainly due to the failure to implement key agreements with President Tshisekedi. The mission ended without achieving many of its intended objectives, highlighting the broader challenges facing regional security cooperation.

Belgium has also experienced strained relations with President Tshisekedi's administration. Kinshasa's growing strategic engagement with the U.S has weakened bilateral economic cooperation with Belgium and certain expectations for closer economic collaboration have not been fulfilled.

Despite these tensions, Belgium continues to maintain close relations with Burundi. Brussels views cooperation with President Ndayishimiye as an important element of its regional engagement and as a means of balancing Rwanda's influence in the Great Lakes region.

Conclusion

Despite his record of dishonouring agreements, President Évariste Ndayishimiye and Massad Boulos continue to pursue agreements with President Tshisekedi. However, little tangible progress has emerged from either relationship. If past experience is any guide, there are significant reasons to question whether these agreements will ultimately be implemented as intended.

🚨 Propagande gouvernementale à #Minembwe : encore et toujours les mêmes mensonges!

Au mois de février 2026, lors du Conseil des ministres du vendredi 6 février, le Gouvernement avait déjà claironné la « reprise de Minembwe-centre » par les FARDC.

Le compte rendu officiel indiquait notamment :

«La satisfaction de la population consécutive à la bravoure et au bon comportement affichés par nos Forces de Défense sur les fronts des Hauts et Moyens Plateaux d’Uvira et Fizi ainsi que la reprise du contrôle de Minembwe Centre».

Le Vice-Premier Ministre, Ministre de la Défense, avait quant à lui précisé:

« Les Forces armées de la RDC ont fait échec aux attaques de la coalition RDF-M23-AFC en reconquérant plusieurs localités dont Minembwe-centre dans la province du Sud-Kivu. Les FARDC poursuivent actuellement la défense du territoire dans les moyens et hauts plateaux de Fizi, Uvira et Mwenga.»

Le document complet du compte rendu (PDF de la Primature) est disponible sur le site officiel pour consultation(https://t.co/w7OeEzMtT6)

C’était faux. Minembwe n’était pas tombée.

Hier, le 17 juin 2026, le porte-parole des opérations Sukola 2 Sud-Sud-Kivu, le lieutenant Mbuyi Kalonji Reagan, sort un communiqué quasi identique affirmant la reprise de Minembwe-centre et de positions environnantes (Kitavi, Irundu, Ugeafi à Madegu) après des combats contre la « coalition RDF-M23-AFC ».

Les habitants de Minembwe eux-mêmes démentent fermement. Des combats intenses se déroulent bien dans les environs, mais les forces de la coalition FDNB-FARDC-Wazalendo-FDLR n’ont toujours pas mis les pieds au centre de Minembwe. Les images circulant de soldats FARDC en train de se partager de la viande de vaches pillées ne montrent pas une « victoire », mais les exactions quotidiennes dans les villages environnants : pillages systématiques des biens des civils, violences et terreur.

Assez de cette propagande!

Ces communiqués mensongers visent à masquer la réalité tragique sur le terrain: des populations civiles, majoritairement #Banyamulenge, prises en otage, bombardées dans des zones densément peuplées, avec des drones et des frappes qui tuent indistinctement femmes, enfants et vieillards. Derrière les «victoires» annoncées, ce sont des familles entières qui pleurent leurs morts, des troupeaux pillés, des villages vidés de leurs habitants.

Nous disons non à cette guerre d’extermination menée par la coalition FDNB-FARDC-Wazalendo-FDLR contre les communautés des hauts plateaux.

La vérité finira par triompher. Les crimes de guerre et les exactions contre les civils doivent être documentés et poursuivis.

Que Dieu protège les innocents de Minembwe, et de tous les hauts plateaux. 🙏

Kinshasa la capitale d'Allemagne d'Afrique

ICI nous sommes en pleine capitale à Kinshasa dans la commune KINSHASA !

C'est sous le régime de Monsieur Félix tshilombo, d'Augustin kabuya, d'André mbata, de fils mukoko, de kalonji tv, de maladie, de Bernard kabese, de mubenga, de Pasteur Mukuna, de l'évêque kankeza, de l'abbé blaise kanda, de l'évêque edjiba et de tous ceux qui veulent changer la constitution pour poursuivre avec la destruction de ce grand Congo.

Voyez-vous ça ? Toute la capitale d'Allemagne d'Afrique Kinshasa sous le règne de monsieur Félix tshilombo et de l'union sacrée ressemble à ça.

La capitale insalubre et invisible de l'Afrique où des millions des kinoises et kinois tirent le diable par la queue.

L'exode rural Massif et l'incompétence notoire des dirigeants de ce régime sont à la base de la destruction de cette capitale d'Allemagne d'Afrique.

Ceux qui dirigent ce pays aujourd'hui, s'autoproclament chaque jour des mikilistes. Ils ont passé plusieurs années à l'étranger, principalement dans les rues de Bruxelles où ils vivaient comme des réfugiés économiques.

Arrivés au pouvoir par le phénomène chance eloko pamba grâce au raïs honoraire docteur joseph Kabila kabange, ils effectuent chaque jour des voyages, des randonnées touristiques d'aucun impact sur le quotidien des congolais à l'étranger.

Ils voient ce qui se passe là-bas, comment les villes à l'étranger sont propres. Malheureusement ils sont incapables d'imiter ce qu'ils voient là bas pour apporter un développement réellement, pour assainir cette ville Province capitale d'Allemagne d'Afrique.

Des grandes gueules pour rien.

Ils sont tous des incompétents. Heureusement ils ont fini leur tout dernier mandat.
Ils doivent déguerpir en 2028 pour laisser place à d'autres qui viendront rendre aux kinoises et kinois une belle vie.

Pas de troisième mandat, pas de changement de la constitution pour ces incompétents.

Ils doivent déguerpir.

Regardez cette vidéo pour voir à quel degré ils ont détruit Kinshasa, pour voir à quel niveau ils sont incompétents.

Mawa trop...
