@CyrilRamaphosa President Ramaphosa, I can only imagine how deeply Nelson Mandela must be grieving over the state the ANC is in under your leadership. The values he fought for, the principles of unity, equality, and justice, seem to have been abandoned. How can you, as a leader of the ANC,

In their 6 months of presence in #Mozambique, #RDF and #RNP have inherited a nickname after chasing out the djihadists and restoring law and order. They are now called "Majeshi Makali" "Very strong men" in Kiswahili. #RwandaWorks @Rugusuki @albcontact @PatriotNkotanyi

À la moindre escarmouche, Les Forces de défense rwandaises ont arrêté deux soldats congolais et en ont tué un après leur entrée sur le territoire rwandais. Si #Tshisekedi et ses soldats ivres et drogués continuent de violer l’intégrité du territoire rwandais, ils le paieront dans

There is only one solution: stop backing the tropical Nazi from #FDLR. And if #Tshisekedi refuses and prefers war, he will have it. It is not the weapons & planes of Russia or China in the hands of @FARDC_off aka Wazalendo or even less those old mercenaries from the soviet era

Evariste Ndayishimiye, the Burundian ruler who officially goes by the nom de guerre "@GeneralNeva " received during the Burundian civil war when the CNDD-FDD violent militias massacred thousands of innocent civilians, continues to sacrifice Burundian soldiers for Tshisekedi's

The unpopular measures to close the Burundian side of the border with Rwanda has put the CNDD-FDD regime in serious difficulty in the eyes of the Burundian population and the leaders are divided. @GeneralNeva ’s decision to please #Tshisekedi has exacerbate internal pressure

#Tshisekedi a vraiment merdé. 1. Il a violé l'accord de cessez-le-feu prévu par les processus de paix régionaux. 2. Il donne maintenant des armes nouvellement achetées à sa coalition génocidaire qui à son tour les donne au M23. 3. il sacrifie des congolais innocents.

The latest reports from the UN Joint Human Rights Office denounces @FARDC_off as responsible for 65% of human rights violations in 2022 and specifies that "in many regions of the DRC, the national army is considered by local communities to be the most dangerous armed group".

Where does @freyntje find the audacity to claim he represents human rights these days? Let's not forget that during the Hutu Power regime of Habyarimana, he also played both sides as a law professor and consultant, while also pretending to be a human rights crusader. 1/14
I often see this kind of argument, generally in support of governments that abuse human rights. How this can be a "danger to the Africa continent" beats me as these organisations document violations of rights, including the right to life, of African victims. They are pro-Africa.

Rutendo seeks in vain to revise the facts that the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi was organized & incited by members of Hutu Power, the Akazu, backed by the active intervention of France and by the passivity of the UN Security Council. @matinyarare @ali_naka . A thread 1/22

@kabumba_justin Mdr, vous pensiez que le M23 plaisantait comme Tshisekedi ? Ce n’est pas le cas. D’un autre côté, Tshisekedi et le nazi tropical des FDLR ont joué sur les sentiments des Congolais pauvres, tribalisés et perdus pour obtenir du soutien. Je suppose que vous êtes maintenant réveillé

#Burundi under the military Junta of @GeneralNeva reminds me of Rwanda under the racial dictatorship of Grégoire Kayibanda (October 1961 – July 1973) and Juvénal Habyarimana (July 1973 – April 1994). Moreover, it shows how Monsignor A. Perraudin sowed the seeds of hatred hidden

#Tshisekedi comptent désormais sur une intervention d’un autre bloc régional, celui de l’Afrique australe (SADC), pour lutter contre les avancées du M23. “ Mais les troupes de la SADC ne viendront pas, explique un diplomate sud-africain. Tshisekedi n’a pas payé sa cotisation.

Voilà la douloureuse vérité que certains congolais ne veulent pas entendre. #Tshisekedi est responsable de la guerre dans l'est de la RDC. Il n'a aucune volonté d'y mettre fin. Il crée le chaos de toutes parts pour rester au pouvoir. Les Congolais méritent mieux.
