"Congolese Tutsi" doesn't exist. Saying Tutsi are Congolese is like saying Chinese people are Nigerian. There is no record of Tutsi existing in DRC prior to the Rwandan genocide where a million Tutsi fled into eastern DRC to escape persecution in their own country. You can't name a single Tutsi whose ancestors from at least 4 generations back came from a town/village in DRC. They fled into eastern DRC from Rwanda and have been genociding the locals ever since.

[@fraka61]

@@tharcisse7103 You really don't the history of your country or simply you ignore it on purpose. I won't be surprised tho coz even in Rwanda before the genocide, the had been prepared in mind that Tutsis don't exist (so that when they're exterminated no one will even ask) it's exactly what you're trying to do with that statement of yours. Let me educate you a bit. In DRC, there are Tutsis who Speak Kinyarwanda and happen to be there coz of 3 reasons: 1. Borders: In 1884 Berlin Conference, most parts of both Kivus were Rwandan territories (fact check: see the names of the mountains there, they are in Kinyarwanda) so a part of Rwandan population just like that became Congolese 2. In 1959, and between then and 1994, many Rwandans Tutsi fled to Congo because they were being killed in Rwanda by Hutus. 3. In 1994, Rwandans (Hutu now) fled to Congo because they had committed a genocide against Tutsi. This is the issue, Hutu killing Tutsi in Rwanda, then fleeing to Congo to find again Tutsi of category 1 and category 2 above in Congo. The then started killing them again. Tutsi of Category 2 went back home (Rwanda), but category 1 couldn't go, coz Congo is their home. Those are the ones now you're calling Rwandans and they're being killed and burned alive by the Rwanda of Cat 3 disguised as Wazalendo. Those wazalendo are Rwandans Hutu who fled 1994 after committing genocide in Rwanda (they're now called FDRL) and they're very much embedded in DRC Army, working with SADC forces to kill congolese Tutisi!?
