Ridicule doesn’t kill in the land of chaos that is Félix Tshilombo Tshisekedi’s Congo. Accused by the UN Group of Experts of openly cavorting with the tropical Nazis of the FDLR, Tshilombo dispatched his devoid-of-shame spin doctor, the motor-mouthed Patrick Muyaya, to twist the truth.
His weapon of choice? The feeble hashtag #PoisonRwandais.
Classic Tshisekedi playbook: always deflect everything on Rwanda.
There wasn’t a peep of a word from Muyaya about the damning UN report that explicitly states, and I quote, “despite repeated calls on the DRC Government to cease supporting FDLR, the DRC government continued to rely on and cooperate with the FDLR systematically.” That inconvenient truth was swept under the rug.
Instead, Muyaya’s tired, desperate narrative paints Rwanda as the great “aggressor,” falsely fixating on the M23 movement while ignoring the genocidal elephant rampaging through eastern Congo: FDLR.
The FDLR that the Tshisekedi regime so strenuously protects (which in fact is embedded in their military, FARDC) has claimed Virunga Park as their fiefdom, for one thing. They’ve wreaked terror alongside groups like ADF and MaiMai, and formed alliances with FARDC generals.
The FDLR moreover isn’t merely surviving; it’s thriving under Tshisekedi alliance with it, and with elements of eastern Congo’s so-called civil society complicit in their crimes.
For the uninitiated, these genocidal maniacs didn’t stop with Rwanda in their goal to massacre everyone of Tutsi ethnicity. They took their ethnic cleansing agenda to Congo, when it still was Zaire, targeting Congolese Tutsis, inflicting unspeakable crimes against humanity.
But here’s the bottom line. Tshilombo and his band of merry incompetents are playing with fire. By keeping these tropical Nazis on his payroll, Tshisekedi risks plunging DR Congo into another regional war, on his country’s soil.
He’s the most clueless buffoon however, and can’t seem to see beyond his nose.
