CONGO EMERGENCY: THE PART OF THE STORY THEY ARE HIDING

20 May 2026

On May 17, the World Health Organization declared the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. Western media is treating this as a health story. On Frontline Africa, we will not. This is the 17th Ebola outbreak in Congo since 1976. The epicenter is Mongbwalu, a gold mining town in Ituri province — one of the most heavily militarized, mineral-rich, donor-dependent regions on the entire African continent.

The Bundibugyo strain that is now spreading has no approved vaccine. The DRC’s surveillance network failed to detect it for 4 weeks. Four health workers died before the alarm was raised. Cases have now reached Kinshasa, Goma (under M23 control), and Kampala. In this episode, we walk through the verified facts, the geopolitical context the western press is leaving out, the structural reasons why eastern Congo keeps becoming ground zero for these outbreaks, the link to the Trump minerals deal of December 2025, the Rwanda border closure, Uganda’s response, and the rumours that ordinary Congolese have circulated about why this keeps happening to their country. We centre Africa in global affairs with analysis, not emotion.

How Paul Kagame Deliberately Sacrificed the Tutsi

How Paul Kagame Deliberately Sacrificed the Tutsi

Only the Tutsi genocide was broadcast around the world and later depicted in the Hollywood movie “Hotel Rwanda.”
  • Ann Garrison

On October 1, 1990, Ugandan troops invaded Rwanda from Uganda. They wore Ugandan uniforms, drove Ugandan vehicles, and carried weapons from the Ugandan arsenal. They were led by top-ranking officers in the Ugandan military who had family roots in Rwanda and called themselves the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF). Led by then General, now President Paul Kagame, they were determined to seize power in Rwanda and re-establish the ethno-supremacist Tutsi rule that had ended with the Hutu Power Revolution of 1959.

They succeeded after waging a four-year war, with the help of the US, and though Rwanda pretends to have ended ethnic division and exclusion, a Wikileaks diplomatic cable reveals that all top government positions are in fact held by Tutsi, and Rwanda reconciliation is a lie. Only Tutsi are allowed to publicly mourn their family members who died in the 90-day massacres of 1994, and the description “genocide against the Tutsi” is legally codified and enforced. Anyone using any other description faces prison time in Rwanda.

The invasion violated international law and Rwanda’s sovereignty, but the world barely noticed. The UN Security Council declined to even discuss it, despite the request of Rwanda’s Ambassador to the UN. Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni had just become President of the Organization of African Unity (OAU)—which later became the African Union—and as such, he assumed the role of “mediator” even though he was the principal aggressor and, of course, had no interest in upholding international law.

How Paul Kagame Deliberately Sacrificed the Tutsi

In How Paul Kagame Deliberately Sacrificed the Tutsi, former Rwandan Ambassador to Paris Jean-Marie Ndagijimana writes, “Two months earlier, on 2 August, 1990, Iraq under Saddam Hussein invaded its little neighbor Kuwait, and the international community went to work to put out the oil pipeline fires in what is the world’s premier oil reserve. So we poor Negroes could kill one another in silence without bothering the masters of the world who were busy elsewhere.”

The ensuing four-year war included the RPF’s horrific massacres, including targeted massacres of Hutus, but it was still barely noticed by the international community until it finally concluded in the 90-day bloodbath that included both Tutsi and Hutu genocides. Only the Tutsi genocide was broadcast around the world and later depicted in the Hollywood movie “Hotel Rwanda.”

Millions of people saw “Hotel Rwanda,” and the Rwandan Genocide thus came to be understood ahistorically, as a sudden 90-day episode of mass psychosis and bloodlust in which the Hutu majority attempted to exterminate the Tutsi minority. Hutu people have been demonized not only in Rwanda but around the world ever since. For thirty years, Rwandan President Paul Kagame has been allowed to wage a devastating war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo on the grounds that he is hunting Hutus who were guilty of the genocide against the Tutsi and who still threaten Rwanda.

“Stopping the next Rwanda” became the battle cry of the humanitarian warriors led by Samantha Power, who built her career on “Bystanders to Genocide,” her crusading critique of the Clinton administration for failing to stop the genocide. She insisted that we must all from hereon be “upstanders,” not bystanders to genocide, most notably in Libya and Syria, but she hasn’t called for any upstanding to stop genocide in Gaza.

How Paul Kagame Deliberately Sacrificed the Tutsi is one of many important books that tell the far more complex story of both Hutu and Tutsi genocides that took place over four years in Rwanda and years after that in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

PEACE in Great Lakes arrive BIENTÔT ! The DRC–Rwanda Standoff: Deal Signed, Conflict Returns! What Happens Now? | Joseph Szlavik Soto

12 December 2025

In this interview, our guest Joseph Szlavik Soto analyzes the resurgence of violence in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo despite the recent agreements signed in Doha and Washington. He explains that the new M23 offensive around Uvira, supported, according to the international community, by Rwanda — represents a major escalation, particularly with the increased use of attack drones. Joseph discusses the position of the United States and the members of the International Contact Group for the Great Lakes, who are demanding the immediate halt of offensive operations and the withdrawal of the Rwandan Defense Forces in accordance with UN Resolution 2773.

He notes that the commitments made by the parties are not being respected and highlights the current limitations of the monitoring and enforcement mechanisms within these agreements.

The interview also sheds light on the severe humanitarian consequences, the risk of the conflict spreading toward Burundi, and the geopolitical and economic interests fueling the instability.

Finally, he proposes pathways toward a lasting solution: a reinforced international monitoring mechanism, stronger diplomatic pressure on state actors involved, and a more assertive regional commitment to protect civilians and restore the territorial integrity of the DRC.

Eastern Congo – Welcome to the Political Theatre of the Absurd

Eastern Congo – Welcome to the Political Theatre of the Absurd

by PD Lawton      1 Jan 2026

M23 are lying, the media are lying, Qatar is lying, Rwanda is lying, and the world is lying about M23

Since January 2025, M23 have occupied Goma, provincial capital of North Kivu. After Goma M23 occupied Bukavu, provincial capital of South Kivu.

M23 marched on Uvira just weeks before Christmas. Uvira is a key strategic city on the border of Burundi.

False information across media states that M23 withdrew recently from Uvira due to pressure from Washington. It is a lie.

M23 are still occupying Uvira.

Rwanda lies about its support of M23

Rwanda denies backing M23

M23 is largely comprised of Rwandan soldiers. M23 is in effect the Rwandan Defence Force (RDF). M23 is also comprised of Kenyan and Ugandan soldiers since NATO gave President Ruto its blessing to back Rwanda.

M23 is portrayed as a rebel armed movement that exists to protect the rights of Banyamulenge.

Banyamulenge are supposedly Rwandan Tutsi.

North Kivu is under M23 control. It is 59,483 square kilometres which is larger than Croatia and slightly smaller than the Republic of Ireland. South Kivu is mostly under M23 control. It is 69,130 square kilometres. It is exactly the same size as the Republic of Ireland. Combined North and South Kivu are the same size as Greece. How can a rebel militia mostly control an area the size of Greece without substantial backing?

M23 are a professional, highly trained, extremely well equipped army. M23 are better equipped than FARDC (Congolese armed forces). The Congolese armed forces contain compromised elements. The entire Congolese army was infiltrated by pro-Rwandan enemies of Congo under the Sun City Agreement of 2003.

M23 could not exist without being rearmed and resupplied. SO WHO IS BACKING THEM?

Rwanda is backing M23

Rwanda has a war machine of an army because the EU funnels money into the Rwandan military. Rwanda receives foreign aid from the UK, USA and the EU. It is historically the recipient of the largest sum of foreign aid in Africa. It is the City of London Central African garrison. It uses its military strength to destabilize Tanzania, Mozambique, Burundi and DRC through terrorism.

Rwanda says it is protecting its national security because the FDLR pose a severe threat. It is a lie.

The FDLR do not exist in reality. An entity loosely resembling the FDLR exist as the forces of for the liberation of Rwanda. Kagame has been in power for 30 years. His party won the last few elections with over 95%. It is a lie. Rwandans live inside a prison. There is NO FREE SPEECH IN RWANDA.

Qatar LIES ABOUT its role in negotiating between M23 and DRC government. The negotiations are PURE THEATRE. Qatar is heavily invested in Rwanda. If the M23 lose power Qatar stands to lose considerable investment in the coltan and other refineries it has built in Rwanda in order to process STOLEN CONGOLESE MINERALS, primarily coltan and gold.

Qatar LIES ON BEHALF OF THE GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN of CRITICAL MINERALS because the UN knows that Rwanda is M23. The UN knows that M23 is a conventional army.

There already exists a REGIONAL WAR in Central Africa. On behalf of the City of London Rwanda, Kenya and Uganda, backed politically by South Africa are at war against the DRC and Burundi.

 

 

Combats FARDC-M23 : 100 000 enfants en détresse au Sud-Kivu (UNICEF)

Combats FARDC-M23 : 100 000 enfants en détresse au Sud-Kivu (UNICEF)

Dans une déclaration parvenue dimanche 14 décembre à Radio Okapi, le Fonds des Nations unies pour l’enfance (UNICEF) renseigne que des centaines des milliers d’enfants et des familles sont obligés de se déplacer pour chercher les lieux de refuge tant à l’intérieur de la RDC qu’à travers les frontières avec le Burundi et le Rwanda.

D’après l’UNICEF, depuis le 1er décembre, des combats intenses ont déplacé plus de 500 000 personnes, dont plus de 100 000 enfants rien qu’à l’intérieur du Sud-Kivu. Avec la propagation de la violence, les déplacements devraient encore augmenter. Il se dit profondément préoccupé par la sécurité et le bien-être du grand nombre d’enfants qui fuient et cherchent refuge.

Avertissement aux belligérants

L’UNICEF appelle toutes les parties à protéger les enfants et à respecter leurs obligations en vertu du droit international humanitaire ainsi que de la Convention relative aux droits de l’enfant.  Pour lui, les enfants ne doivent jamais payer le prix du conflit.

Des centaines de personnes ont été tuées depuis le 2 décembre. De graves violations des droits de l’enfant ont également été signalées, notamment la mort de quatre élèves, six autres blessés, ainsi que des attaques contre au moins sept écoles, dont des salles de classe ont été endommagées ou détruites.

Alors que les familles fuient, les enfants font face à des risques aigus de protection, notamment la séparation des familles, l’exposition à la violence, l’exploitation, la violence basée sur le genre et la détresse psychosociale.

Une réponse humanitaire urgente 

Un afflux soudain de personnes fuyant la violence a été enregistré au Burundi. Entre le 6 et le 11 décembre, plus de 50 000 nouveaux arrivants ont été identifiés, dont près de la moitié sont des enfants. Pour l’UNICEF, ce chiffre devrait toutefois être revu à la hausse, les autorités poursuivant l’identification des personnes en quête de refuge.

De nombreux arrivants présentent des blessures liées au conflit. A cela, s’ajoutent également des enfants non accompagnés ou séparés, tandis que les femmes sont exposées à des risques accrus.

Enfin, l’UNICEF rassure qu’il travaille avec les autorités nationales et les partenaires en RDC et au Burundi pour mobiliser une réponse humanitaire urgente et centrée sur l’enfant, tout en se coordonnant étroitement avec d’autres agences et partenaires de l’ONU afin d’assurer des évaluations rapides et une augmentation de l’aide dès que les conditions de sécurité le permettront.

RDF weak in Kivu, BAUMA KABWENGE, a soldier from the Rwandan M23_AFC movement operating in the DR Congo, was recruited with several others in Goma, the Rwandan headquarters in DR Congo. He was apprehended by Wazalendo during attacks by Rwandans seeking to take Uvira. “My name is BAUMA KABWENGE, I left Goma. The Rwandan soldiers of the M23_AFC had recruited us in North Kivu. They brought us to Bukavu with many other Rwandans. From Bukavu, they told us that we were going to take Uvira back. We passed through the bush in the mountains, leaving Bukavu towards Uvira. Arriving at the bridge, we encountered strong resistance from the Wazalendo, who seriously defeated us. The Wazalendo neutralized us. Many of my Rwandan colleagues died. They captured us and dispersed the others, who fled. Unfortunately, I was apprehended among those captured, and the Wazalendo brought me here to Uvira. I send this message to the less informed youth of Goma and throughout the country. Never follow the lies of the RDF_M23 AFC. They will not succeed because Wazalendo is a strong army. If you want death, join the RDF_M23 AFC and go to the front, you will see the true face of Wazalendo. The RDF_M23 AFC will never seek you out. If you are ever captured by Wazalendo or if you die in combat. Wazalendo are more proficient with weapons than we, the RDF/M23/AFC. Words from a military kabwenge of the Rwandan rebel movement RDF/M23.
