Like many members of the Tshisekedi regime, Judith Suminwa the DRC Prime Minister made a spectacle at COP29 summit in Azerbaijan, by abandoning whatever was supposed to be the DRC presentation to start smearing Rwanda. It was childish behavior that, alas, has become very predictable of Tshisekedi and his circus of a government.
Here were delegates from all over the world discussing the very important issue of how to tackle changing climate or weather patterns, to avert catastrophe. But the only thing preoccupying the Congolese was to slander Rwanda, level wild accusations against Rwanda, and abuse Rwanda, in the most undignified, undiplomatic ways. It’s a pattern of behavior, so predictable and so clownish it’s made made Tshisekedi and his people the laughingstock of the world.
In her tirade, Suminwa claimed that “DRC’s budget is largely consumed by a war ‘forced’ upon it by Rwanda.”
These, mark you, are people whose boss Tshisekedi is the worst warmonger in the region. This is a man that a few years back decided he wanted to massacre an entire section of the Congolese population – the Tutsi citizens of the country whose native home is the Kivu provinces of eastern DRC.
But when the victims, under the M23 banner, fought back to defend themselves, the Kinshasa despot started alarming that it was “Rwanda.”
That has been his, and his regime’s chorus ever since.
The DRC is invested in maintaining chaos and perpetuating conflict, rather than striving for peace. Its despot has consistently resisted peace efforts, instead opting to keep fueling a senseless war that inflicts untold suffering on innocent Congolese.
Despite numerous peace processes, including the Luanda accords, Tshisekedi has repeatedly disregarded the path to peace, effectively discarding diplomatic efforts offered by regional leaders.
Furthermore, Tshilombo has turned DRC into a haven for armed bandit groups. Among these is the infamous FDLR, a genocidal militia that Tshisekedi, rather than disarm them as per peace agreements, instead has integrated them into the DRC army, FARDC.
They, and the notorious Wazalendo massacre, kill, loot, and inflict other crimes against humanity in Tutsi communities of the Kivus with impunity. Until the M23 hits back, upon which Tshisekedi and all his propagandists of course set up their chorus of howling, “Rwanda is attacking us!”
This is what Suminwa was doing at the COP29.
Hiw can the world tolerate this?
