Lorsque #PosioMuyaya se rend en France et participe aux émissions pour accuser le président #Kagame de vol de ressources minières en RDC, il sait pertinemment que de nombreux rapports ont formulé de graves accusations contre #Tshisekedi et sa famille concernant les ressources minières du pays. Il cherche à détourner l'attention du fait qu'en juillet 2025, par exemple, une plainte officielle a été déposée en Belgique contre neuf membres de la famille de Tshisekedi, les accusant de corruption, de blanchiment d'argent, d'exploitation et de pillage des ressources minières de la RDC.
Agression de la #RDC par le #Rwanda : « le président rwandais ne veut pas en réalité cesser de piller les ressources dans l'Est de la République démocratique du Congo », affirme Patrick Muyaya, porte-parole du gouvernement congolais.

Rwanda refugees and FDLR are two different things. FDLR is a threat both for Rwanda and the DRC. It's regrettable when @sentinellecongo (a propaganda machine of Tshisekedi) try to dupe Congolese on this genocidal rebel. A thing you as well build on to whitewash it. FDLR exists and must dismantled.
Tristan Ngamije
The problem is not the FDLR; rather, the problem is #Kagame and the #RPF, who want to continue looting Congo’s resources and killing Hutu Rwandan refugees who are in Congo In the 32 years that the @rpfinkotanyi has been in power, the FDLR has not carried out a single attack on Rwanda . @UN @realDonaldTrump @US_SrAdvisorAF @AsstSecStateAF @HarianaVeras .

.@PatrickMuyaya has been peddling a false narrative linking Rwanda to the DRC's mineral curse. Rwanda's concerns are about security. The continued presence of the FDLR, the support it receives from Tshisekedi and his allies, and their refusal to dismantle this genocidal force. Anything else he is concocting about Rwanda is a baseless accusation.

One of First Lady Jeannette Kagame's greatest strengths is her understanding that a nation's future begins in a child's earliest years, with the care, love and guidance they receive at home. Through @Imbuto Foundation, she has helped turn that conviction into support for children and families across Rwanda. Nearly 186,000 children and their families have benefited from Imbuto-supported early childhood programmes. More than 163,000 parents have received parenting education, while over 41,600 caregivers have been trained to give children a stronger start in life. The Foundation has also helped establish 5,830 Early Childhood Development centers across the country, creating spaces where children can learn, grow and thrive before entering formal school. These achievements reflect the First Lady's vision and lasting commitment to Rwanda's youngest citizens. By supporting children, empowering parents and equipping caregivers, she is strengthening families and laying the foundations for Rwanda's future, one child at a time.

Under President Kagame, Rwanda has built a case for global influence through practical contributions to security and humanitarian protection. Its peacekeeping deployments, bilateral security partnerships and reception of displaced people demonstrate a willingness to share responsibility for challenges that extend far beyond its borders. Rwanda’s peacekeeping philosophy places the protection of civilians at the center of the mission, drawing on the lessons of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. That commitment connects Rwanda’s own history to its responsibility to protect vulnerable people elsewhere. In Mozambique, Rwanda deployed security forces in July 2021 at the government’s request to help confront the insurgency in Cabo Delgado. Joint operations have helped recover key towns, restore civil authority and enable displaced communities to return home. These gains show the human value of security cooperation. In the Central African Republic, Rwanda combines participation in the UN mission with a separate bilateral defence deployment. Its support has included force protection and assistance in securing the electoral process. In South Sudan, Rwandan peacekeepers serve through UNMISS, protecting civilians, including displaced women and girls. Rwanda has also supported training for South Sudanese officers and implementation of the peace agreement. Rwanda’s response to displacement extends that commitment beyond military operations. Following President Kagame’s 2017 offer to receive vulnerable people stranded in Libya, Rwanda partnered with the African Union and UNHCR to establish the Emergency Transit Mechanism. At Gashora, evacuees, including Eritreans and people from other African countries, receive shelter, medical care, psychosocial support and assistance toward durable solutions. Together, these actions show how Rwanda is a reliable and constructive international partner. Under President Kagame’s leadership, Rwanda has shown that a country’s influence can grow through the responsibilities it accepts, the partnerships it sustains and the people it helps protect.

October, the month of remembrance for @HutuGenocide — #Day 6 📌 #RWAMAGANA KILLING SITE ➡️By June 1994, at the height of the genocide, Jean #Bosco #Kazura—one of the leaders of the death squads—had traveled to Rwamagana, east of Kigali, an area that was now under the control of the #RPF. A soldier from the High Command stated that Kazura directed about 100 soldiers who hunted civilians, killed them, and made them disappear into a pit in the nearby #Rutonde area. ▶️ “Kazura personally took part in the execution, in directing and supervising these operations of tracking and gathering Hutu civilians in this area to the east of Kigali. He brought them to a detention house and then took them to the place where they were shot,” the soldier said, recalling being present during the killings. ➡️During one incident, Hutu women and children who had taken refuge in a Catholic church were taken to #Rutonde, where they were massacred and thrown into a pit above the Tutsi victims who had been killed earlier by the Interahamwe during the genocide. Others were captured, detained at a gas station, and then killed and buried in the same pit. ▶️ “The women’s arms were tied behind their backs with their wraps [clothing]. The men were tied with their shirts. They were taken to a detention center at the Rwamagana gas station. In the evening, they were killed on the spot or taken to the pit and killed there,” the soldier said. ▶️ He estimated that at least 600 people were killed in this way in Rwamagana alone, and more than 2,000 in the neighboring area. A junior officer stationed there said that, in early July, Kazura came to Rwamagana several times a week in his white Land Cruiser. He stayed at the #Dereva Hotel, a guesthouse where he had access to women and [the text continues…]. ▶️ The junior officer—an even-tempered, self-assured man named #Damas—confirmed that Rwamagana was a microcosm of the detention and assassination style carried out by the @rpfinkotanyi throughout the genocide. Damas was present in July when soldiers from the local gendarmerie barracks killed about 200 Hutu men with firearms and hoes. Many of them had their arms and hands tied behind their backs. Some were already dead from the bullets they had received during their roundup. Damas vividly remembers the massacre, which took place under cover of night in a tent set up within the barracks compound. ▶️ “No one could say no when it was happening [or insist] for it to stop,” he said. “Personally, it was shocking, but we were in a murder situation.” The bodies were loaded onto three Mercedes trucks and taken to Akagera Park. ▶️ “Once everything was done, a soldier shouted out loud: ‘All these idiots are not killers. We didn’t need to kill all of them!’ The soldier was then hit on the head with a hoe and taken to the hospital.” 🔸🔸Rever, J., 2018. In Praise Of Blood, The Crimes Of The Rwanda Patriotic Front. Toronto: Random House Canada, pp. 92–93. 🚨📣As we remember the tragedies of #Rwamagana, we stand for truth, justice, and accountability for all victims and survivors. Let the world commit to “Never Again”—and to ensuring that those responsible are held accountable. #NeverAgain #JusticePourLesVictimes #HumanRights #GenocideAwareness #NeverForget @UNSC_Reports @UN_HRC @UNHumanRights @UNESCO_fr @AuRwanda @Genocost #Burundi #bantou #NeverAgain #RwOT #JusticePourLesVictimes

Everyone should understand this lady! He is a lapdog of Tshisekedi. Don'ts think she will ever use sense. She was given money to act as such, she will justify it in any occasion she finds President Trump.
When will Rwanda withdraw from DRC 🇨🇩 Mr. President? My question 🙋‍♀️ for today stay tuned. 🇨🇩 Monsieur le Président, quand le Rwanda se retirera-t-il de la République démocratique du Congo ? Ma question du jour. Restez à l’écoute ! 🎙️

Genocidaire Callixte Mbarushimana, an accomplice in the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi and later worked with the FDLR, has died. During the genocide, Mbarushimana worked for the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Rwanda. After the United Nations evacuated most of its international staff in April 1994, he remained behind and was entrusted with responsibilities that included safeguarding local UN employees. Years later, however, serious allegations emerged concerning his conduct during the genocide. He was dismissed by the UN in 2001 following accusations linking him to the deaths of 32 people, including UN personnel. Among those killed was Florence Ngirumpatse, who served as UNDP's human resources chief in Rwanda. Mbarushimana had betrayed Ngirumpatse to the killers and later celebrated her death. Mbarushimana also shot two people assisting members of the Interahamwe militia, which played a central role in carrying out the Genocide against the Tutsi. Mbarushimana also served as Executive Secretary of FDLR. In 2010, Mbarushimana was arrested in France following an International Criminal Court warrant. He faced 13 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity connected to atrocities committed by FDLR forces in eastern DRC in 2009.

Pendant près de trente ans, Alain et Dafroza Gauthier ont consacré une part essentielle de leur vie à recueillir les témoignages de rescapés du Génocide contre les Tutsi et à transmettre ces éléments à la justice française, afin que les responsables puissent répondre de leurs actes. Après l'horreur vécue en 1994, rien ne pouvait véritablement réparer les blessures des victimes. Mais la justice demeurait indispensable. Dafroza, aux côtés de son époux, s'est battue avec courage, détermination et une remarquable constance pour que cette justice ne soit ni oubliée ni abandonnée. Nous n'oublierons jamais cette femme courageuse, qui a fait de la quête de justice un engagement de toute une vie. Que son âme continue de reposer en paix.
Dafroza Gauthier, une femme de courage et de conviction, dont l’engagement pour la vérité, la justice et la mémoire des victimes du génocide perpétré contre les Tutsi restera à jamais gravé dans nos mémoires. - François Nkulikiyimfura

The historical and legal record is clear: the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi was not merely a matter of competing political narratives. On 16 June 2006, the ICTR Appeals Chamber ruled that it was a fact that genocide occurred in Rwanda against the Tutsi ethnic group. Rwandan detractors’ “Double Genocide” scheme is a desperate move to push a false moral equivalence to distort facts around the genocide against the Tutsi while whitewashing the overseas-based genocide perpetrators. Argue that they’re now in denial as the final stage of genocide. @RevColeman @Nadia_MUGUNGA1 @sheilakamuzinzi
In the aftermath of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, the perpetrators launched a campaign to create an alternative "truth". Now, after years the campaign has produced an invented genocide of Hutu. The hardliners behind the campaign have espoused books like "In Praise of Blood" of Judi Rever. As the propaganda of Rever in her book portrayed that RPF committed a Hutu genocide in total secrecy, under cover of night. However, based on the facts in the book, Rever's revelations appear to be filled with mistakes, omissions, and scientifically unsound assumptions that require more investigation. This flawed book that these hardliners like Kasinge use to say that there were two genocides is one of a strategy to denigrate the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi which remains an insult to genocide survivors and a fruitless and vain contribution the history of Rwanda.

#Rwandans sent tributes to Dafroza Mukarumongi Gauthier, a prominent campaigner for justice for victims of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, who died in France on Saturday, October 3. Gauthier, who died at 72, had dedicated decades to helping survivors pursue justice against people accused of taking part in the Genocide. Her work earned her national recognition in 2017 when President #Kagame awarded her and her husband, Alain Gauthier, the Igihango national honour for their contribution to bringing Genocide suspects to justice. The couple did their work the organisation they founded called the Collectif des parties civiles pour le @Rwanda (CPCR). The #Rwandan Community of France, which she previously led, said her contribution had left them with a responsibility to continue the work she championed. @RwandainFrance

FDU Inkingi and Jambo Asbl who are a cabal of genocide ideologues and genocide fugitives, you will see them on several social media platforms ranting about RPF Inkotanyi. These failed crooks who chose to be blind to what Rwanda continues to achieve; have a mission to trivialize and smear RPF leadership. The denialism burrowed in their heads, pushed them to trivialize the trust Rwandan citizens have for their president. These misfits, like usual, engaged in ad hominem allegations that demonize the president based on hoaxes. Of course, their rage to disseminate these kinds of smears, are because they are casualties of post-genocide Rwanda that excludes their genocide ideology and discrimination. They should know that their vicious propaganda won't change anything.

🚨🚨🔳October — the month of remembrance of @HutuGenocide 2026 — #Day 2 📌 KILLINGS TARGETING HUTU INTELLECTUALS 7 April 1994 – The #Remera Massacre. ▶️ As soon as the presidential plane was shot down, the RPF’s military forces immediately began arresting and killing prominent Hutus in Remera, a Kigali neighborhood that they already controlled. In this Remera neighborhood of Kigali, the RPF ▶️ selectively killed 121 people, mainly Hutu intellectuals and their entire families, using a list that had already been drawn up of targeted victims. They included: ▪️the former Prefect of Kigali; Claudien #Habarushaka the former Prefect of Ruhengeri. ▪️Marcel #Munyangabe the former President of the Court of Auditors, and members of his family ▪️Sylvestre #Bariyanga and his entire family ▪️Émile #Nyungura and almost his entire family (his son, the singer Corneille, who currently lives in Canada, was the only survivor) ▪️Emmanuel #Bahigiki and his entire family ▪️Iréné #Kayibanda, the son of the former President Grégoire Kayibanda ▪️Muhamud #Rahamatar ▪️Félicien #Mbanzarugamba, the former cabinet minister ▪️Benoît #Ntigurirwa, and many others. 🔴 (Pierre Pean, Noires Fureurs, Blancs Menteurs: Rwanda 1990-1994, 2005, p.249) 🔴 (…) “At the #CND or at @Amahorostadium in #Remera.” (…).

They were gathered to be liquidated later. This task was carried out by people who knew Kigali well and by politicians protected by the RPF. These were: ♦️Captain Charles #KARAMBA, Captain ♦️Jean Damascène #SEKAMANA, ♦️Sergeant Deus #KAGIRANEZA and the other intelligence agents, who drew up lists of Hutus to shoot down under the pretext that they were educated Hutus or that they had influential families. ⏩️The task was easy because they drew information from Tutsi refugee families …” 🚨🛑🟠Justice must be done for the victims of these killings.
