Condolences to the families of all 18 soldiers. Let this be a lesson to the military leaders planning & deploying troops to war-zones beyond borders to make provision for casualties (dead & wounded), in other words adequate medical/mortuary support. Imagine these heroes died almost 1 week ago, in the hot and humid DRC.

Dear colleagues, Panafricanists, can you tell me what is wrong with Rwanda and Kagame. It has been decades that I read and hear news about high level summits to resolve conflicts between Rwanda and her neighbors. 1. Between 1996-2012: it was Rwanda and DRC 2. 2013-2014: It was Rwanda and Tanzania, you remember that Tanzania expelled nearly 10,000 Rwandans who were living in Tanzania to avert a rebellion that Rwanda was creating to destabilize Tanzania 3. From 2015: It was Rwanda and Burundi as Rwanda had organized coup d'etat against the then President of Burundi. The rebellion that resulted in that is said to be supported by Rwanda and is still fighting against Burundi 4. From 2018 to 2022: It was between Uganda and Rwanda because Rwanda was trying to destabilize Uganda. You can't count how many summits were organized to resolve that. Borders were closed 5. 2024: Burundi and Rwanda: I think the borders between Rwanda and Burundi are still closed 6. 2021 to now: Rwanda is supporting a rebellion that captures a territory 2 times bigger than Rwanda, thousands of deaths, millions of displaced persons and refugees, minerals stolen, etc. 7. Rwanda supported the overthrow of President François Bozize of Central Africa Republic and the current CAR is guarded by Rwandan soldiers. If all Africans do not stand up and stop Rwanda and Kagame, the whole Africa risks to be destabilized as Rwanda keep gaining financial means from destabilizing others. 8. Rwanda army is now in Mozambique, don't think Rwandan soldiers are ONLY doing what they are supposed to do in Mozambique. Rwandan army should be expelled from all African countries as it is happening to French soldiers.

You have to respect Congolese fight for their rights what SA fight for in Drc? You have to think twice before otherwise you are supporting those who did genocide in Rwanda and continuing with ideologies in Drc

[@gaspard4336]

Those are the ones that tand on the side of the opressed people to avoid the genocide. Unless you are a gencider but you could give credits to the two presidents you mentioned

[@uncleTee2023]

Does South Africa have an army? Can you guys fight or war at all? How can the whole country bleat for weeks for a few soldiers who.died in war. That is what war does....soldiers sign up and they do die. They should just stay from too much fast foods. They are just not fit for battle- no match for battle hardened Banyamulenge
