refrain from fighting alongside FDLR,

stop blaming Rwanda for locally-based armed violence,
#3
honor Nairobi and Luanda agreements with M23,
#4
stop Tutsiphobia in DRC.
As the day draws to a close, the

have surrounded Rumangabo military base. This corresponds to their gains in July 2012. Four months later they would take Goma. A lot of sorrow across town tonight as people welcome fleeing relatives in their homes & fear for wht tmw may bring

A Nobel Peace Prize who has NEVER said a word of support for the close to 1 million Tutsi killed in Rwanda (with Zaire’s complicity) for the last 30 years and who seizes every opportunity to show how much he HATES Rwandans is simply an appalling demonstration of SELF-HATE!
