AHEAD OF WORLD AIDS DAY, UN CHILDREN'S AGENCY URGES MORE INVESTMENT, ACCESS TO TREATMENT

An estimated 1.1 million HIV infections among children under 15 have been averted, but disparity in access to treatment is hampering progress towards reaching a global goal of reducing new infections in children by 90 per cent, the United Nations Children&#39s Fund (UNICEF) said today ahead of World AIDS Day.

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 ...
