[Rwanda in Geneva @RwandaInGeneva]

“The crisis in eastern DRC is complex and deeply rooted. For Rwanda, any assessment must include the FDLR, a UN-sanctioned genocidal armed group founded by perpetrators of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. Since finding safe haven in DRC, FDLR has remained a direct threat to Rwanda’s security and a driver of instability in the Great Lakes Region.

The threat carries an ideological dimension. The genocidal ideology spread by the FDLR continues to fuel anti-Tutsi hate speech, ethnic incitement and discriminatory rhetoric against Congolese Tutsi communities, including the Banyamulenge. These are early warning signs that cannot be ignored. These realities are documented in UN reporting.”

— Amb. @UrujeniB delivering Rwanda's statement during the Enhanced Interactive Dialogue on the oral update by the Commission of Inquiry on North and South Kivu Provinces of the DRC at #HRC62.

Three institutions, three different interactions on my first day in Rwanda.

They reinforced my conviction that the exchange of best practices is one of the key benefits of Commonwealth membership.

Thank you @GovernanceRw, @RDBrwanda and @NFPO_Rwanda for the insightful exchanges, which should enhance the value of our support to member countries.

This evening, Minister @onduhungirehe joined @RusEmb_Rwanda in celebrating the National Day of the Russian Federation.

In his remarks, he commended the steady growth of cooperation between Rwanda and the Russian Federation in strategic areas such as education, nuclear science and technology, defence and security.

[Yolande Makolo 🇷🇼 @YolandeMakolo]

Human Rights Watch on Rwanda is a 30-year pattern: anonymous claims, no site visits or forensics, sanctions first and investigation later. Richard Johnson’s warning on @HRW still stands: https://t.co/cSTjTnzoWI

On their latest report, @HRW cannot claim accountability while ignoring its own findings: Kinshasa arms, finances and coordinates with FDLR, Wazalendo, foreign mercenaries and the Burundian army, all dangerous armed forces/militias at the core of the conflict & human suffering in eastern DRC.

It should be clear that the RDF is not AFC/M23. Any serious investigation requires impartiality, access, forensic rigor, due process, and not conclusions announced in advance, or bombastic calls for sanctions.

The path forward remains the Washington Accords with balanced mediation, in pursuit of sustainable security, dialogue, accountability and regional cooperation.
