PAUL KAGAME'S JUXTAPOSITION OF PRETEXTS

From one pretext to another, the Rwandan President is lost in conjecture. To justify, at all costs, the invasion of Congolese territory, Paul Kagame fights like the devil in a holy water font. The trick of the evil one is to change arguments of opinion manipulation, in order to perpetuate his scorched earth policy.

First Kagame gives his justification of invading Congo to fight the FDLR who he says  pose a threat to Rwanda, then it is to defend the Congolese Tutsi against hate speech, then it is to respond to the question of Congolese refugees in Rwanda. The latest reason being to recover part of Rwanda which was given to Congo by the colonialist . Reading between the lines, Kagame displayed his ignorance of colonial history and his own country.

The least we can say is that, from one manipulative argument to another, Kagame is at the end of his expansionist and hegemonic ambitions.

The Rwandan dictator , in power for 23 years, plays  victim when he is in fact  the executioner of thousands of Congolese who have lost their lives because of an injustice war imposed by a bloodthirsty neighbor. It is Paul Kagame who is at the root and the cause of all the problems we have had in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo for more than 20 years, rightly replied the spokesperson for the Congolese government.

Citing the famous historian Isidore Ndaywel, Congolese Communication Minister Patrick Muyaya reminds Mr. Kagame that "It is  Congo that has land to recover in Rwanda, and not the opposite

In this war of aggression and in the face of Paul Kagame's warmongering threats, a whole collective challenge is launched to the Congolese: never betray the nation and never let even a square millimeter of our national territory slip away.
