How Rwandan Defence Forces shelled at Goma with armament with intentions of sabotaging the visit of the UN Secretary General and the President of World Bank to Goma
How Rwandan Defence Forces shelled at Goma with armament with intentions of sabotaging the visit of the UN Secretary General and the President of World Bank to Goma.
How Gen James Kabarebe and Charles Kayonga authorised the murderous shelling of Goma which was intended to sabotage the visit of UN Secretary General Ba Ki Moon and the World Bank President Dr Jim Yong Kim.
In our recent investigations about the recent attack to the town of Goma in the eastern region of DR Congo , we managed to find out evidences of how the Rwanda Defence Forces reinforced M23 rebels two days before the UN Secretary General and the World Bank President's visit to Goma.
In that cowardly and murderous action of 3days shelling at Goma in the eastern part of DR Congo by Rwandan Defence Forces which enforced the notorious M23 rebels never intended to attack FARDC forces or UN peace keeping Forces "MONUSCO" but ironically enough their shelling was intended to terrorise innocent civilians of Goma in order to sabotage the visit of the UN Secretary General Ba Ki Moon and the World Bank President DR Jim Yong Kim
Normally Rival forces are supposed to target the enemy grounds than civilians but President Kagame's bloody thirst and ruthless forces carried out unimaginable coward attack of shelling with armament which included machine guns ,RPG and shooting missiles to the busy town of Goma which left 3 civilians dead and 11 wounded.
The Congolese National Force "FARDC" had to retaliate on Rwanda Defence Forces who where operating with their proxy rebel group M23 and exchanged fire with them in order to stop that cowardly attack which was intended to broke and sabotage the visit of the UN Secretary General and the World Bank President , an operations which killed 15 M23 rebels and 8 of them where apprehended including a 13 years child soldier .
During that 3days fighting with FARDC ,Rwanda Defence Forces also carried out unimaginable terrorist attack of reinforcing M23 notorious rebel group to shoot missiles in the air of Goma which were targeting aeroplanes and jets which lands at Goma airport , a terrorist attack which was intended to intimidate and broke officials of high caliber like the UN Secretary General Ba Ki Moon and the president of the World Bank Dr Jim Yong Kim.
After such a terrorist and cowardly attack committed by Rwanda Defence Forces in conjunction with M23 rebel group ,Umuvugizi managed to access the remains of those missiles and we carried out their description. We shockingly found out that the missiles used to shell Goma air space are called "Chai" which were bought by Rwanda Defence Forces in unconventional way.
The motive of the attack at Goma was intended to sabotage the UN Secretary General and the World Bank President in order to broke them from witnessing the horrific crimes committed by M23 rebels which includes raping in wildly manner women of Eastern DR Congo who are admitted in Heal Africa Hospital situated in the Northern Kivu but their efforts where failed by the UN Secretary General and the World Bank President who refused to succumb on RDF and M23 intimidation of terrorizing Goma shortly before their visit and bravely decided to continue witnessing different scene of crimes committed by M23 Rebels including Heal Africa Hospital during there recent 10 hours visit to Goma.

Africa Realities Media is independent. Your support helps us expose injustice, challenge silence and produce evidence-based analysis on Africa and the Great Lakes Region.
Many abuses facing African people are committed by African states, ruling elites, armed groups, military forces and security services. But these abuses are often sustained by international silence, Western lobbying, trade interests, migration deals, mineral access, diplomatic partnerships and unequal global accountability.
Africa Realities Media exposes that system.
Lived Experience Matters
Survivors, displaced communities, refugees, families affected by repression, journalists, activists, women, young people and diaspora voices are not passive subjects. They are knowledge holders.
Their experiences must shape policy, advocacy, journalism and public debate. The people closest to injustice are often closest to the solutions.
How Paul Kagame Uses Diplomats' "Bury Your Head in the Sand" Strategy as a Green Light to Continue Rwanda's War in the DRC Africa Realities Media | 17 July 2026 The purpose of this article is to expose a deliberate and systematic strategy: Paul Kagame's years-long practice of creating events — diplomatic dinners, RPF party meetings, genocide commemorations, international business forums and RPF Bureau Politique addresses — to which he invites foreign ambassadors and the world's business and political elite for one purpose: to explain, justify, and defend Rwanda's military invasion of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Everybody who follows this region knows the strategy now. The same narrative. The same arguments. The same defiance. At one event he tells the Trump Administration to go to hell. At the next he says those sanctioning him will leave power and he will remain. At the RPF Bureau Politique of 17 July 2026, he tells ambassadors that the on...
T he FDLR Pretext Collapses Under the Weight of Documented Plunder Introduction: A Battle That Tells the Truth When Rwandan-backed RDF/M23 forces fought with extraordinary ferocity to seize and hold Rubaya — a remote mining town in North Kivu, eastern Democratic Republic of Congo — the stated justification was security. Kigali's consistent public line has been that its military presence in the DRC is a response to the threat posed by the Forces Democratiques de Liberation du Rwanda (FDLR), an armed group whose leaders include individuals linked to the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi. This narrative has been accepted, qualified, or left insufficiently challenged by Western governments and multilateral institutions for over a decade. The Battle of Rubaya strips that narrative bare. What unfolded in Rubaya was not a counter-insurgency operation against genocidal remnants. It was a sustained military campaign — reinforced by the Rwanda Defence Forces (RDF), prosecuted at sign...
ANALYSIS AND INVESTIGATION Introduction: The Myth and the Man Behind the Myth There is a version of Paul Kagame that exists in the conference halls of Davos, in the pages of Western magazines, in private hotel meetings in London, Paris and Washington, and on the sleeves of European football shirts. In this version, Kagame is a visionary. A builder. A disciplined African moderniser. A leader who pulled a broken country from the ashes of genocide and turned it into what admirers often call the “Singapore of Africa”. In this version, Rwanda is clean, efficient, safe, investment-friendly and orderly. Kagame is presented as the African leader the West wants to believe in: controlled, polished, pro-market, security-focused and comfortable in elite Western spaces. Then there is the Rwanda that many Rwandans, exiles, journalists, opposition figures and human rights organisations describe. In this Rwanda, YouTubers and online commentators are jailed for what they say. Critics die in custo...
http://www.inyenyerinews.org/amakuru-2/rwandas-major-john-sengati-assassinated-in-gitarama-rwanda/ Rwanda's Major John Sengati assassinated in Gitarama, Rwanda May 12, 2013 by Rwema IT Webmaster Leave a Comment By: Jennifer Fierberg Rwandans are saddened by the death of Major John Sengati who was assassinated in Gitarama (appx 50km from Kigali) on May 10th, 2013. John Sengati was a retired Major, and ADC to Gen. Kayumba Nyamwasa from 1993 to 2001. After Gen Kayumba went to UK to further his studies, Major John Sengati was appointed Commanding Officer (C.O.) of Garrison Force that was in charge of the security to VIPs under the Ministry of Defense. Around 2007, he went to study at Kigali Institute of Technology (KIST) while he was still an active member of the RDF. According to local reports , in 2009 Major Sengati's land was redistributed in Karama to local residents. Around 2010 he was forced to retire from the army, because he was considered to be loyal and ...
The FDLR Myth: How Rwanda Weaponises a Diminished Threat to Justify Occupation Investigation Exposes Contradictions in Rwanda's Security Narrative For over a decade, Rwanda has justified its military presence in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo by citing threats from the FDLR, a Hutu militia group linked to the 1994 genocide. But an investigation into FDLR's actual capabilities, Rwanda's military operations, and patterns of violence reveals a narrative that does not match reality. The FDLR threat, whilst real, has been systematically exaggerated and manipulated to justify objectives that have nothing to do with the militia group. Introduction The Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR) occupies a central position in Rwanda's justification for military intervention in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. For more than two decades, Rwandan authorities have portrayed the militia group as an existential threat requiring sustaine...
Kigali wants Washington to punish Congo too. But a ceasefire that leaves the occupier in place is not peace; it is occupation without noise. African lives are not worth less. African deaths are not normal. Western interests must never become a licence to kill African people. Introduction: A Familiar Complaint On 29 June 2026, Rwanda’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Olivier Nduhungirehe, sat before the cameras of France 24 and declared that his country was “disappointed by the increasingly biased US mediation” in the conflict with the Democratic Republic of Congo. He asked why sanctions had targeted only Rwanda. He called the measures unfair, one-sided and counterproductive. Weeks earlier, President Paul Kagame had told Jeune Afrique that sanctions and threats were insults thrown at Rwanda, and accused Washington of exerting heavy pressure on Rwanda while treating the DRC more delicately. The grievance sounds reasonable until you remember where you have heard it before. Since 2022, the Kr...
In this article, Africa Realities Media uses the term "geopolitical crimes" to describe actions carried out through military power, cross-border intervention, proxy armed groups, political influence, mineral exploitation and international alliances that produce mass killing, displacement, institutional destruction and long-term instability across national borders. Where these actions amount to war crimes, crimes against humanity or genocide, ARM calls for investigation and prosecution through the International Criminal Court. The first article in this investigation identified the problem: Paul Kagame has built a powerful global network of political friends, institutional allies, commercial partners and paid lobbyists that promotes, defends and protects him internationally. This article examines the consequences of that network: how its combined influence has contributed to international indifference towards Kagame's actions and alleged geopolitical crimes in the Great L...
This article identifies the central obstacle to accountability for Paul Kagame’s actions in Rwanda and the Great Lakes region: the powerful global network of political leaders, former presidents, diplomats, philanthropists, religious figures, businesspeople, international institutions, sporting organisations, advisers and paid lobbyists that has promoted, legitimised, defended and protected him for three decades. This is a problem-identification article. It asks why Kagame has remained internationally influential and protected despite serious and extensively documented allegations concerning Rwanda’s military actions in the Democratic Republic of Congo, political repression, extraterritorial operations, mineral exploitation and the treatment of political opponents, journalists and critics. The answer is that Kagame has built an international network that gives him political access, diplomatic protection, commercial partnerships, institutional legitimacy, favourable media coverage, ...

Dans cet article, Africa Realities Media utilise le terme « crimes géopolitiques » pour désigner les actions menées à travers la puissance militaire, l’intervention transfrontalière, les groupes armés par procuration, l’influence politique, l’exploitation minière et les alliances internationales qui produisent des massacres de masse, des déplacements, la destruction institutionnelle et une instabilité durable au-delà des frontières nationales. Là où ces actions constituent des crimes de guerre, des crimes contre l’humanité ou un génocide, ARM réclame des enquêtes et des poursuites devant la Cour pénale internationale. Le premier article de cette investigation a identifié le problème : Paul Kagame a construit un réseau mondial puissant d’amis politiques, d’alliés institutionnels, de partenaires commerciaux et de lobbyistes rémunérés qui le promeut, le défend et le protège à l’échelle internationale. Cet article examine les conséquences de ce réseau : comment son inf...
Africa Realities Media speaks to Africa and to the developed world. Many abuses facing African people are committed by African states and ruling elites, but they are often protected by international silence, lobbying, public relations, trade interests, migration deals and unequal global accountability. While governments pay lobbyists to present a good image abroad, ordinary African people continue to face violence, hunger, disease, poverty, repression and exclusion. We challenge the normalisation of African suffering and demand equal truth, equal justice and equal protection.
Our work is designed to trigger debate, discomfort and action. We do not only expose injustice; we work for policy and systems change.
We want governments and institutions to address the root causes of inequality, disadvantage, discrimination, exclusion and barriers affecting African people. We believe lasting change must be shaped by people with lived experience.
Exposing Injustice in Africa
Africa Realities Media is an independent African accountability platform based in London. We report, analyse and challenge the systems that shape African suffering, silence African victims and protect abusive power.
We are not here to repeat diplomatic language. We are here to ask the questions that are often avoided: why are African deaths treated as normal? Why are African victims given less urgency? Why are governments that imprison, exclude, displace or kill their own people protected when they serve powerful international interests?
Africa Realities Media gives space to writers, researchers, experts, activists, community voices, campaigners, analysts and people with lived experience who want to contribute thoughtful, responsible and courageous content about the changes needed in the region, as well as the political, economic, cultural and social African realities that are often ignored, minimised or misrepresented.
Our articles and videos aim to encourage debate, raise awareness, stimulate critical thinking and support reflection. We seek to help people in the Great Lakes Region understand their rights to human rights, development and wellbeing, while also encouraging decision-makers to be more transparent, responsive and accountable.
