#Kwibuka32: A memorial dedicated to victims of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in #Mons, in #Belgium was vandalized after unidentified individuals removed symbols and inscriptions identifying it as a genocide memorial.

Members of the Rwandan community have condemned the act, describing it as a possible expression of genocide denial and a serious affront to the memory of the victims.

#Kivu: The AFC/M23 coalition has appointed a full set of local administrators for the areas it controls in #SouthKivuProvince, including the city of #Bukavu and several territories.

AFC/M23 leader @CNangaa said the appointments were necessary because many of the areas had been without formally designated administrators for more than a year. It's effective on June 6.

Kyalangalilwa Mulondani Nicolas was appointed mayor of #Bukavu, the provincial capital, with Nyota Luandja Celine serving as deputy mayor.

The coalition also appointed new leaders for the territories of #Idjwi, #Kabare and #Kalehe, as well as the town of #Minova, alongside their respective deputies.

New municipal administrators were named for #Bagira, #Ibanda and #Kadutu, the three communes that make up #Bukavu, while #Panzi and #Kasha were left without new appointments.

According to #Nangaa, the move is intended to strengthen local governance and administration in areas controlled by AFC/M23 after more than a year without officially appointed local authorities.

#Social: #Rwanda said it respects the Tribunal’s ruling and considers the matter concluded, noting that the dissenting and separate opinion by Professor Mohamed Abdel Wahab highlighted the complexity of the dispute and pointed to alternative legal interpretations, including the view that the November 2024 exchanges relied upon by the #UK did not validly amend the financial arrangements agreed between the two countries.

@YolandeMakolo's statement came after an international tribunal ruled that the UK would not have to pay #Rwanda more than £100 million sought by #Kigali following the cancellation of the asylum partnership by PM @Keir_Starmer’s gov't.

#Rwanda maintained that it had incurred "significant costs" in preparing for the scheme and reiterated its commitment to constructive cooperation with international partners, guided by international norms and mutual benefit.
