Three decades after Genocide against the Tutsis, it would beat everyone’s understanding how on earth any sentient human would cheerfully wish a repeat of that horrible history.
Well, that precisely is the agenda being pursued by the failed regime in Kinshasa.
Over the weekend, DRC government mouthpiece Patrick Muyaya called on the public to follow television series dubbed “30 years is enough” which aimed at amplifying the FDLR narrative of “Double (multiple) genocide” built on the lie that the Genocide in Rwanda targeted three “tribes” namely Hutus, Tutsis and Twas.
To understand the true reasons Tshisekedi regime is upbeat in push for “Rwanda double (multiple) genocide theory” is simple, it is about legitimization, justification and supporting FDLR.
Having failed to uproot remnants of FAR ((the defunct Habyarimana army which together with Interahamwe militia reinvented itself as FDLR in DRC), the Kinshasa regime decided to work with them openly. Denying and trivializing the Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda by DRC is a move to legitimize the presence and ongoing support of the FDLR by DRC.
FDLR just like many other hundreds armed groups that uses DRC as sanctuary are the real reasons DRC is serving numerous sanctions and a true example of how Tshisekedi is at the helm of a failed state. If the government was not corrupt and dysfunctional, it possibly could have managed to neutralize, arrest, disarm and demobilise those militia outfits.
Misrepresenting true events of Genocide against Tutsis as it has been seen done by many politicians in Tshisekedi regime is further a pretext to justify the integration of FDLR within FARDC with an aim to instigate regime change in Rwanda. Even before reckless utterances of Tshisekedi prior to previous elections where he openly declared that his fighting hard to cause regime change in Kigali, many of his politicians like Justin Bitakwira had been abuzz with such statements calling Rwandan leaders all sorts of bad things.
For Muyaya to spearhead that Genocide ideology campaign, there is equally an element of distraction from ongoing Tutsis Ethnic Cleansing. Spreading falsehoods about Genocide against Tutsis is a distraction that aims at drawing attention of the international community on a sickening narrative as killings of innocent people in Goma and other parts of the country proceeds with impunity.
Entertaining the notion of a recurrence of a horrific chapter in history of the Great Lakes region, unfortunately seems to be the only motive driven by an illegitimate regime in Kinshasa spearheaded Felix Tshisekedi, an amateur leader that has plunged DRC in abyss of chaos and violence.
Muyaya’s launch of that genocide ideology campaign has not come as a shock to many, especially those that have been following gruesome developments in the eastern DRC where Government is actively involved in the plan to exterminate Congolese of Tutsis ethnicity.
