Who is M23? The Rwanda-backed rebel movement now controls large parts of eastern Congo and was linked by Reuters sources to the September 17 ambush in South Kivu that wounded Tim Kennedy; Reuters reported he suffered three gunshot wounds to the leg. Led militarily by Sultani Makenga and politically by Bertrand Bisimwa, M23 emerged in 2012 from former rebels integrated into Congo’s army after a failed 2009 peace settlement. Rooted largely in Congolese Tutsi grievances, it has evolved into an increasingly sophisticated insurgency challenging Kinshasa: controlling cities and mineral territory, collecting taxes, administering populations, and benefiting from extensive Rwandan military support. Français : Qui est le M23 ? Ce mouvement rebelle soutenu par le Rwanda contrôle aujourd’hui de vastes zones de l’est du Congo. Des sources citées par Reuters l’ont lié à l’embuscade du 17 septembre au Sud-Kivu, durant laquelle Tim Kennedy a été blessé de trois balles à la jambe. Dirigé militairement par Sultani Makenga et politiquement par Bertrand Bisimwa, le M23 est né en 2012 d’anciens rebelles intégrés dans l’armée congolaise après l’échec d’un accord de paix. Issu principalement de revendications tutsies congolaises, il est devenu une insurrection sophistiquée capable de contrôler des villes, administrer des territoires, prélever des taxes et exploiter les ressources minières, avec un important soutien militaire rwandais. #TimKennedy #Congo #ErikPrince #Africa

This is what awaits the Haitian gangs. Nayib Bukele isn’t playing around.

Paul Kagame makes sure that the military is everywhere. Even during meetings between the president and innocent young Rwandans, you will find military personnel present. This is a way of reminding young Rwandans that they live under an authoritarian regime. Rwanda is treated like his private company, not a country that belongs to its people.

There are many oversimplifications and factual errors in this article, which largely echoes the propaganda of the ethnocratic regime in Kigali. Much of what is true is presented as false, and much of what is false is presented as true. I will write an article on the subject to set the record straight and reestablish the facts. It was not a genocidal ideology that was decisive in Rwanda in 1994. It is enough to read the empirical studies, particularly Scott Straus’s The Order of Genocide, to understand what the real determinants of this genocide were. It was rather a genocidal strategy that was considered, most likely around October 1993, and that was decided upon immediately after the attack on President Habyarimana. It is clear that the discourse of the former FDLR, naively repeated by this journalist, is the product of a carefully crafted and polished narrative elaborated by Kagame’s propaganda services. Insofar as the alleged ideology is all they have left to justify the unjustifiable, the territorial agression. One understands why this regime — which has its opponents beheaded — pushes its remaining allies, such as Qatar, to spread the last biaised rationalization still available to them.

Ethiopians are just Rwandans with slightly better skin tone and some curly hair

I’ve heard plenty of wild divorce reasons… but this one takes the absolute cake. 😱

There is no Rwandan doing exceptionally in the arts, politics, film or music globally, except their President. 😂

This Twar between South African and Rwandan influencers is ludicrous! I bet South africans , Kenyans, Nigerians will make more money out of this opportunity than Rwandans. Ask who has the gig of sound and audio visual systems of BK arena!

This is why the whole #SaveCongo 🇨🇩 movement and how they like to frame it as saving it "from the West" is utter nonsense. The state of the DRC today is fully the fault of its OWN leadership over the past 30 years.
