How FDLR continues to revamp across Africa
FDLR, formed by remnants of the perpetrators of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, operating in eastern DRC
For
the past three decades, the government of the Democratic of Congo and the
international community have sanitized the FDLR genocidal militia claiming that
the group poses no threat to Rwanda. The Congolese government has gone as far
as collaborating with the genocidal group.
The
FDLR was formed by remnants of the perpetrators of the 1994 Genocide against
the Tutsi in Rwanda. The genocidal militia is currently operating in eastern
DRC, and poses a big threat to the security of the African great lakes region
where the terrorist group has been, among others, spreading its genocide
ideology, and killing thousands of unarmed civilians including women and
children.
The
FDLR has been designated as a terrorist organization by the United States and
is considered a threat to both Rwanda and the DRC. The group has launched
attacks on Rwandan territory, raising concerns that it could do so again in the
future.
Its
sole mission is to return to Rwanda, overthrow the current democratically
elected government and complete its genocidal agenda. The militia group’s
leadership is currently mulling plans to do so.
A
source revealed to this website, that FDLR is planning to establish resistance
cells across the whole East Africa and South Africa region. The aim of the plan
is for the genocidal militia to become politically active, and find support to
overthrow the Rwandan government.
According
to the source, FDLR President Lt Gen
Iyamuremye Gaston, alias Byiringiro Victor, appointed Theoneste Misago, in
charge of the militia’s diplomacy and Diomed Kawasaki, the finance deputy
commissioner, both based in South Africa
and Mozambique, respectively, to smoothly coordinate FDLR’s revitalization
resistance cells process, in their respective countries, and extend these
efforts to all other countries in Eastern and Southern Africa.
The
move comes after the Congolese government agreed to neutralize FDLR, in Luanda
on July 30, in a meeting of foreign ministers from Rwanda, Angola, and DRC.
With
fear that Kinshasa will really divorce them, FDLR is looking for new ways to
thrive. By establishing these cells across Africa, the genocidal militia hopes
to increase its political, military, and financial might. Through these cells,
war efforts will be coordinated as well as mobilization of new young recruits.
Kinshasa
politicians have, for long, issued statements sanitizing FDLR while the
International community turned a blind eye on their collaboration with the
génocidaires. By forming these cells,
the genocidal group will be in a position to continue spreading its genocide
ideology freely across the continent.
Currently
in eastern DRC, the Congolese Tutsi are being persecuted, tortured and their
properties looted, on a daily basis. This did not happen overnight. After
committing the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, the genocidal militia
exported its genocide ideology to eastern DRC, targeting the Congolese Tutsi.
The latter are fleeing to neighboring countries mainly Rwanda and Uganda, while
hundreds thousands of their relatives were massacred.
The
FDLR’s genocidal venom is the biggest threat to the continent. The militia
proved how dangerous hate speech can be with their presence in eastern DRC.
By
allowing FDLR to operate freely on their soil, African countries are risking a
security crisis similar to the one in DRC, all the while promoting genocide
ideology.
