DRC: Inside the world’s forgotten war

The UN describes it as “one of the world’s most neglected crises”. The eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo is no stranger to war, but fighting has dramatically intensified in recent months. Just as the UN peacekeeping force is leaving after more than 20 years.

The fighting is centred in the North Kivu province, where the M23 rebels, backed by neighbouring Rwanda, are fighting the Congolese army for power and natural resources. Hundreds of thousands of people have fled the fighting, many seeking shelter around Goma, the largest city in the east.

At the heart of the DRC conflict is Kagame and the western powers that support him, otherwise M23+RDF coalition would have been crushed long ago

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE WAR IN THE CONGO 🇨🇩 DRC:

After migration of thousands of Africans ethnicity. In 14 to 15th centuries those Tutsi came from Ethiopia 🇪🇹 and Somalia 🇸🇴 then immigrated to Rwanda 🇷🇼 . That times they didn't have any land cause they were warriors marionettes utilized by the west during their wars. So at their local areas in Somalia and Ethiopia they got told to move away as they went to help white people in Europe 🇪🇺, then they came back in Africa and installed themselves in Rwanda then they spread later in Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya, Burundi, etc. No single one was in the Congo yet.

Then they went to Rwanda and starting fighting local people there and change power all the times by war sometimes they were on power, sometimes local people.

In 1950s, the lost war and power to local people so they fled to Congo in South Kivu, they name that place Mulenge. So that's why those ones in Congo are called Banyamulenge. Our former president decided to help them, which now is considered the biggest mistake our former President Mobutu did, he announced that every who was in the Congo 🇨🇩 DRC before the independence in 1960 became Congolese. So Banyamulenge became Congolese in that way as I have told you it was a biggest mistake every Congolese will tell you these.

In 1994, Tutsi and Hutu (local people) they started to kill each other, apparently they kill more Tutsi cause Hutu had more access to guns and matchetes those are history they teach every Congolese in school from primary to University. So Hutu lost the war because French lied to them to do cease fire and they tell those Hutu to go to Congo, the Congolese government accepted to welcome them, another big mistake because other neighbouring countries refused to welcome them genocidaire as neutral person as me, Hutu did bad by killing innocent babies we saw on the movies and history at school.

In 1996, Rwanda government Tutsi and few Congolese politicians removed mobutu on power through war called AFDL liberation, every Congolese was happy cause Mobutu was a dictator and war there for 32 years. And the had of that Liberation movement AFDL became president of Zaire and change the name to colonial name Congo and post colonial name Congo before Mobutu.

After Liberation in 1998, when the president of the country and of liberation told Rwanda government to go back to Rwanda they were angry and started a another war called RCD Goma.

WARS IN MY DRC TILL NOW : as I said the biggest mistakes was to allow Tutsi Banyamulenge to be Congolese in 1970s, and to Welcome Hutu Génocidaire in the Congo as Refugees. Rwanda 🇷🇼 government through these wars used discriminatory allegations that Banyamulenge have been mistread in the Congo 🇨🇩, which is not true cause these people have been with US Congolese since before until wars and Genocide of Rwanda that's there are Hutu and Tutsi we used to know all are Rwandan our brothers and our sisters until their government brought these separation in Rwanda and in the Congo.

Everytime Rwanda does wars in the Congo they came as to look for Hutu Génocidaires or they came to support Banyamulenge in the Congo 🇨🇩 so that they government can treat them well.

First of all, we don't know who is Tutsi Munyamulenge and who is Tutsi Rwandan because they are all the same, speak same language, they all against Congolese governments all the times.

Secondly, that confusion Rwandan government use it to infiltrate our government so that all the times when there's negotiations between Congolese government and rebellious Banyamulenge wars, they government of Rwanda will impose and infiltrate its military in our Government so they can have access to our government information and those Rwandais military need to be highly ranked as general , major, colonels, and so on.

In Conclusion, Rwanda government with its rebellious allied, and its genocidiary system comes in the Congo for several reasons:

- Working for super power countries : USA, France, UK, Belgium, and European Unions so that they can give them Congo 🇨🇩 's natural resources for free or at cheaper cost.

- Congo 🇨🇩 is so bigger and Richest country in the World when it comes to natural resources.

-Divide Congo 🇨🇩 so that the poorest and smallest country, Rwanda can be bigger and Richer.

- kill all Congolese if it's possible and take over

- Send Rwandan citizens as Banyamulenge ("means Congolese Tutsi " apparently) send them as Congolese refugees in Australia, USA, UK, France, Belgium, Europe, North America, New Zealand, etc so that one day they can come and divide Congo or bring huge war in their favor in the Congo. They make sure once the Rwanda citizens arrive in the those developed countries they can do army so that they can go weaken the Congo.

-Over half millions Rwandese have gone to those countries as Congolese when they are not even Congolese or Banyamulenge but Rwandais who speak Kinywarwanda or English. While languages spoke in the Congo 🇨🇩 are French as Official language, 4 nation languages: Kikongo, Kiswahili, Tshiluba, and Lingala. Plus, 450 plus dialects and every dialects correspond to language of each tribe. Such for your information there is no tribe in the Congo called Banyamulenge or Tutsi Congolese don't exist and will never exist.

- Every Tutsi Rwandais want to be Congolese.

- Gain more from war in the Congo by raping Congolese women cause most those soldiers or Rwanda origin have HIV aids.

-Kill all Congolese if they can so Rwanda can take over.

- Rwanda Government and its genocidiary system have killed over 20 million Congolese citizens since 1996 till present.

- Rape all Congolese women : every 5 minutes these people have raped over 30 millions women, children and boys, men.

- Causing Atrocities so that local Congolese people can leave their houses , lands so that Rwanda can take over.

- Congolese Army cannot win any kind of wars against any rebellious group founded, supported and created by Rwanda because Congolese army is infiltrate by Rwandan soldiers imposed at so called negotiations which imposed by the west on profits of the west and Rwanda government.

- Kill as many Congolese people as they can cause they West supports Rwanda government and make the media silent that's why there's a silent biggest genocide happening in the Congo 🇨🇩 cause Rwanda are killing us Congolese and the west and media are silent

The UK is full and remigration will eventually be a policy over immigration.
