DR Congo: FDLR - "Did they expect us to treat them with any respect?"

Orientale Province: Jean Bamanisa visit the next transit camp FDLR

Of all the rebel groups and armed militia that plague the DR Congo I
despise the FDLR ( and the ADF Ugandan Muslim rebels ), the rest I
merely hate. To put it in a western context the FDLR are the
equivalent of the the skin head neo Nazi scum that occasionally
surface in our communities, the big difference being the moment such
scum put a foot out of line we are in a position to smash them.

The FDLR are the remnants of the of the genocidal regime responsible
for the 1994 Rwandan holocaust along with it's civilian Interahamwe
adherents. My preference would be that all these pricks face the ICC
which can sort out the true believers from the hangers on, but that
isn't going to happen. Disarming and disbanding them is not a
satisfying result but it is a lot better than having them continue to
kill rape and rob with impunity in the eastern DR Congo.

" Their presence is not to be feared , "said Jean Bamanisa.

Actually I can think of a great many reasons to fear such sick
individuals, however disarmed and under I assume the guard of MONUSCO
means that they will not constitute a physical threat to the people of
the Orientale Province.

The Governor of the Eastern Province also reported that a number of
countries have expressed their intention to host the rebels under the
search for peace in the region.

Possibly but I am unaware of which countries they are. I suspect that
the FDLR are now a Congolese problem and repatriation to Rwanda is not
an option.
In early July, the Economic Community of Southern Africa (SADC) and
the International Conference for the Great Lakes Region (ICGLR),
meeting in Luanda (Angola), granted a period of six months to disarm
the FDLR. But socio-political actors both Kivu in Ecuador show their
disapproval of the proposed transfer of the FDLR in another province
of the DRC.

Who could blame them.

Provincial coordination of civil society in Ecuador was organized on
June 14, a march "preliminary" to protest against the relocation of
the rebels in the province.

The Congolese government proposes to consolidate the former FDLR who
do not wish to return to their country in a military camp in Irebu
before transfer to the Training Centre of the Armed Forces of the DRC
territory Bikoro (Ecuador).

When it come to crimes against humanity I am very much in the " never
forgive , never forget " school. However much this goes against the
grain it is probably the only workable solution and the alternatives
are far worse.

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 ...

Pourquoi les sanctions américaines ne fonctionnent pas contre le Rwanda

Pourquoi Paul Kagame a ignoré les sanctions américaines et la Résolution 2773 du Conseil de sécurité de l'ONU Entre février 2025 et mars 2026, le Trésor américain a imposé deux séries de sanctions ciblant directement la machine de guerre du Rwanda dans l'est du Congo : d'abord James Kabarebe, ministre d'État rwandais et principal intermédiaire du régime auprès du M23, puis les Forces de défense rwandaises en tant qu'entité, ainsi que quatre de leurs hauts responsables. Chacun des individus sanctionnés est demeuré en poste. Les FDR ne se sont pas retirées. Cette analyse examine pourquoi les mesures de Washington n'ont pas modifié la conduite du Rwanda — et pourquoi, selon les propres mots de Kagame, elles sont rejetées comme l'œuvre des « simplement stupides ».     Introduction : des sanctions sans conséquence La campagne de sanctions de Washington contre les opérations militaires du Rwanda dans l'est du Congo s'...

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...
