DR Congo has energetic youths and surplus mineral resources to defeat Rwanda and even annex the tiny country as a state of Congo. But leadership and resource management are their problem

[@AmazingMania]

You forget the people in Congo are Tutsis who are the same as Tutsis in Rwanda...so kagame has the people, Congo has the land,....so who will fight Kagame?

[@danielc9967]

Why Kagame why?

[@neildavid10]

Why Fatshi why won’t you negotiate with M23 like they did in 2009

[@linogomic4981]

The escalating diplomatic tensions over the DR Congo conflict reflect the deep-rooted geopolitical rivalries and the persistent instability plaguing the region. While external actors trade accusations, the suffering of ordinary Congolese remains overlooked. Genuine peace requires addressing historical grievances, economic exploitation, and the role of foreign interests in fueling the crisis. Regional bodies like the African Union must take a firm, impartial stance in brokering dialogue. The international community should prioritize sustainable solutions over blame games, ensuring that peace efforts empower local communities rather than perpetuate external control. True stability demands justice, accountability, and inclusive governance...

all im saying lets go back to 1994 kagame needs to answer on the crimes he did and still doing. why are these leaders afraid of him

[@jocelynefuraha9781]

You get jobs by talking about Rwanda;leave our president alone

[@onealkebulan]

I thought i saw a smile on this womans face when reporting about Congo. Sad. One Alkebulan in our lifetime! 🇿🇼🇦🇺

The colonial mindset of there being a DRC, Rwanda, South Sudan etc as though these were living entities is wrong. It is the people and communities in these spaces that are alive and have their cultural norms which are to be respected from community to community. We are alive as an African space, together and culturally.

[@andayak7488]

South Africa often does not know what they are talking about. The same as when they went to ICRC on Isreal. South Africa should concentrate on the problems that they have in their own country and not meddle in other countries ' business. M23 people are Congolese whose daughters, sisters, mothers and wives were and are raped and killed by all the forces that are operating in Congo. Why they do not ask those Romanians who were killing M23s, Burundians, South Africans and UN to leave the Congo and stop attacking M23s? You are asking Rwandan who are not even there? President Kagame is always right and the world should listen to him.

[@jocelynefuraha9781]

Why you don’t chow the mercenaries who went to Congo for 3years by fighting with m23 there’s a lot of groups in coma

[@samuelmichael1349]

What is the Romania mercenary doing in DRC?

[@joshuajohnsen9882]

The government uses them to supplement their forces.

[@franckmusa4023]

Kagame is manipulating you. It's not the true. Since I knew kagame, He never lives in peace with neighbors.

[@SPK-c8f]

DRC is a failed State

[@edgaropiooguta534]

Those are not mercenaries but military instructors to train the Congo army.

[@Afri_kaa54]

You mean the ones that are there to for money 😂😂 training are you for real​@@edgaropiooguta534

[@PhilipLubwika-nx5fl]

Remove this monster from power.

[@enaz283]

And put you the angel in his place no doubt

[@patrickmurunga4820]

Mercenary shd leave

[@xyz835]

So should RDF

[@indiwo1f]

Reporting on african crisis with some sort of african witch doctor medallion around her neck. Immersive!

[@CyndiCarrillolo]

Je n'avais jamais réalisé que regarder des vidéos pouvait être une activité aussi fascinante😻

[@cosmas1565]

Especially when you don’t care

[@abdulsesay5160]

Congolese have to stop dancing and take responsibility for their country. Rwanda population is 15 million, threatening a country with 120 million. Where are they Congolese doing home and broad.

[@DouglasMassop]

You are talking nonsense. Rwanda is enabled by the US and UK. What do u expect???
