M23 Open Letter sent to The Parliament of South Africa and SA people

Bunagana, April 3rd 2013
Réf : 006/Prés – M23/2013
To The attention of the Parliament of South Africa and South Africa people as whole, in South Africa.
RE: MOTIN FOR CANCELLING THE SENDING OF SOUTH AFRICAN SOLDIERS TO WAR IN THE DRC
Honorable Speaker,
Honorable members,
Honorable Senators,
The M23, noted the UN resolution 2098, of March 28, 2013, which transforming the UN peace keepers in a belligerent force, entrusted with offensive mission to extend the reign of an army which the crime rate and rape is the highest of all armies of the world and come to rescue the most corrupt regime in the world. Words of the Secretary General of the United Nations stating in the same resolution that corruption are the main cause of failure of the Congolese Government.
Recalling that, the UN resolution creating the Brigade with mandate to kill and also in turn to be killed comes into existence when negotiations are taking place in Kampala/ Uganda between the Kinshasa Government and the March 23 Movement, under the mediation of his excellency President YOWERI MUSEVENI of Uganda and Chairman of the International conference of the Great Lakes Region "ICGLR" and on the recommendation of the 11 countries of the Great Lakes Region.
Meanwhile it was noticed during the interview of April 2nd 2013 by the Congolese Minister of Foreign Affairs, Raymond TSHIBANDA who said that: "countries (South Africa, Tanzania, Malawi, and Mozambique) who have militarily contributed for the UN intervention brigade are also them countries who have accepted for their soldiers to be killed on the Congolese land".
By this fact, the same countries gave mandate to the oppressed forces to kill the soldiers of the UN Brigade as they defend themselves. What a shame.
This decision, which is an evil precedent, dedicates the victory of force without reasoning. This is why, M23 invites the Parliament and the people of the South Africa to consider and convince the Government to do not send their sons and daughters of their good nation in an absurd war against their Congolese brothers.
Consequently the M23 has no responsibility in this mutual massacre which seems to be programmed just to please those who, from their air-conditioned skyscrapers in New York offices, whom have nothing but contempt and ignore our values and our pan-African beliefs.
At this difficult time of freedom struggle throughout Africa; our prayers are faced for the person of MADIBA MANDELA. May God quickly restore his health and inform to his great wisdom this long night and evil that is about to begin. We will never forget; just released from prison, he honored the city of GOMA by a friendly and brotherly visit which wills never quite our memories.
Finally, we would like to express too our compassion to the families of the South African soldiers who lost their lives while defending the central African Republic.
Looking forward to hear from you soon, we express our gratitude and honor to the nation's Rainbow for being effective in leading the fight for freedom and equality of humans.
Bertrand Bisimwa
The President of M23

OIF : Louise Mushikiwabo, une candidature embarrassante pour un troisième mandat de trop

C'était en novembre 2025, à Kigali. En marge de la 46e Conférence ministérielle de la Francophonie, Louise Mushikiwabo prenait la parole avec l'assurance de celle qui n'a rien à craindre : de nombreux pays, affirmait-elle, lui avaient demandé de se représenter. Spontanément. Naturellement. Unanimement presque. Sauf que les faits racontent une tout autre histoire. L'annonce qui ne devait pas avoir lieu si tôt Novembre 2025. Le Centre de Conventions de Kigali accueille plus de 400 délégués des 90 États membres de l'Organisation internationale de la Francophonie. Le thème officiel porte sur les femmes et l'égalité des genres, trente ans après Pékin. Mais en marge des séances plénières, c'est une autre affaire qui agite les couloirs : Louise Mushikiwabo vient d'annoncer qu'elle souhaite briguer un troisième mandat. L'annonce est prématurée. Délibérément. Les candidatures ne ferment qu'en avril 2026. Aucun autre pays n'a encore ...

Paul Kagame: “We refuse to remove defensive measures"

Paul Kagame Refuses to Implement the Washington Accords and UN Security Council Resolution 2773: Analysis and Implications In an exclusive interview published on 3 April 2026, President Paul Kagame of Rwanda openly confirmed that Rwandan forces are deployed in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, rejected calls for their withdrawal, dismissed US sanctions as illegitimate, and signalled clear satisfaction with the current military status quo. This briefing examines what Kagame said, what his remarks mean for the Washington Accords, and what concrete steps the United States must now take if it wishes to restore credibility to its diplomacy in the Great Lakes region. Introduction: A Confession Wrapped in Grievance The interview, conducted by François Soudan and published in Jeune Afrique on 3 April 2026, is one of the most candid public statements Paul Kagame has made on Rwanda's military role in the DRC. Its significance does not lie in revealing something previously unknown. Th...

THE GENOCIDE AGAINST THE HUTU: PART 1: INTRODUCTION AND HISTORICAL CONTEXT

THE GENOCIDE AGAINST THE HUTU: MASS KILLINGS OF HUTU BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER 1994 IN RWANDA, DRC AND UGANDA PART 1: INTRODUCTION AND HISTORICAL CONTEXT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This comprehensive report examines the systematic mass killings of Hutu civilians before, during, and after the 1994 Rwandan Genocide. Whilst the genocide against the Tutsi is well-documented and internationally recognised, the simultaneous and subsequent mass killings of Hutu populations by the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) remain largely unacknowledged by the international community. This report synthesises evidence from judicial investigations, UN reports, human rights organisations, and survivor testimonies to present a fuller picture of the violence that engulfed Rwanda and the Great Lakes region. The characterisation of the 1994 events as exclusively a "genocide against the Tutsi" has been challenged by researchers who argue that this narrative obscures the systematic killing ...
