NBC News analyzed leaked reports, satellite images and interviews to reveal the extent of Rwanda's carefully concealed and high-tech war in the Congo, as the U.S. tries to strike a deal for peace and access to the region's minerals. https://t.co/zWppeyhmHo
En prenant unilatéralement des sanctions contre les dirigeants de l’Alliance Fleuve Congo, l’Union Européenne s’inscrit dans une dynamique d’entrave à la résolution de la crise.
Autant il y a un cessez-le-feu décrété, autant aucun camp ne peut poser d’actes ni bénéficier des décisions de nature à fragiliser l’autre partie au conflit.
Cette attitude de la part de l’UE, qui s’apparente à une politique de deux poids deux mesures place l’AFC dans l’obligation de reconsidérer sa participation aux pourparlers de Luanda et ce, jusqu’à nouvel ordre
Par ailleurs, le fait d’inviter aux pourparler des personnes dont les droits civils et politiques, y compris les droits économiques et sociaux ont été spoliés par le régime illégitime de Kinshasa revient à cautionner cette injustice.
#ICC Prosecutor @KarimKhanQC arrives in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, reaffirming Office's commitment to the investigation of crimes committed in East #DRC.
Prosecutor will meet with government officials, @MONUSCO, victims & civil society partners.
STANDARD BANK - YOU ARE COVERING UP YOUR SINS !!!! SB overcharged poor black women with R 192 000 on her mortgage of R 377 000. I submitted a detailed report and SB responded there on. Never in my 34 yrs have I seen a bigger cover up. I will address this in Parliament soon.
The @StateDept has accused #Rwanda of unlawfully extracting minerals from the #DRC, asserting that the proceeds from these unlawful activities benefit rebel groups such as #M23. Yesterday, we informed members of the @realDonaldTrump administration and Congress that it is our opinion that the @PaulKagame regime, along with associates and family members, has violated various U.S. statutes by utilizing the U.S. financial system to transfer funds from this illicit trade.
These include violations of the Bank Secrecy Act, the Anti-Money Laundering Act, and provisions of the Foreign Assistance Act and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. We are working with key senior members of Congress to build the case for sanctions, which may include restrictions on accessing the U.S. banking system for President Kagame, his associates, and their families. President @PaulKagame's regime, associates, and family are not above the law.

Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime performance was trash🗑️🗑️🗑️
The audience showed up for entertainment — not a MFing hidden code from a fraud cosplaying as a revolutionary…
Kendrick’s hate, envy and jealousy of Drake — made him lose focus of the prize.. He fumbled his biggest moment publicly, before the largest crowd he has ever seen in his entire career — because he’s a follower and not a leader…
JUST IN: President Paul Kagame has just landed in Kigali from Doha, Qatar, where he was attending meetings.
His return coincides with Rwanda’s defeat in the bid to secure a seat on the AU Peace and Security Council (AUPSC).
In the final round of voting, Rwanda received only one vote—its own.
The halftime show was more about Drake than Kendrick. 🤷🏾♂️
There was a real opportunity for Kendrick to separate himself from this dragged on beef and move forward doing his biggest hits.
Felt weird.
