ICG: THE ALLEGATIONS OF RWANDA SUPPORTING M23 REBELS IN NORTHERN KIVU ARE VERY CREDIBLE

THE ALLEGATIONS OF RWANDA SUPPORTING M23 REBELS IN NORTHERN KIVU ARE VERY CREDIBLE. IT’S NOT ONLY THE PANEL OF EXPERTS, IT’S MANY INDEPENDENT ORGANISATIONS, INCLUDING THE INTERNATIONAL CRISIS GROUP, WHO RECENTLY PUBLISHED A REPORT ON THE SUBJECT AND WHO POINT OUT THE ROLE OF RWANDA IN THIS CRISIS.
THE INVOLVEMENT OF UGANDA SEEMS TO BE MORE RECENT BUT IS ALSO CREDIBLE. THERE HAVE BEEN ALLEGATIONS OF UGANDA SUPPORTING M23 SINCE JULY 2012 BUT IT SEEMS MORE REALISTIC THAT THIS SUPPORT IS MORE RECENT AND IS A CONSEQUENCE OF THE DOWNSIZING OF RWANDA’S SUPPORT FOR M23 AFTER SEVERAL COUNTRIES IMPOSED SANCTIONS ON RWANDA.

About Me

Mamadou Kouyate
I am an African-American who grew up in the African Great Lakes Region and Western Africa. I am strongly committed to human rights across the African Great Lakes region and beyond. I strongly believe that spreading the untold truth about the ongoing crisis in the African Great Lakes region, no matter how unpleasant it might sound to many people, will surely lead my people to a better future in a timely manner. I am a rare voice of the voiceless people currently living in Rwanda and in DRC. My crucial duties consist in raising awareness about current political deadlock in Rwanda and its tragic consequences to the Rwandan people and the Congolese people as well. Please keep in mind that this is NOT a hate blog. I will not tolerate hate speech or ignorant comments of any kind. All comments are moderated prior to publication. At Hungry for Truth, Peace and Justice (HTPJ) Blog, there is no room for ignorance or hatred.
