Yesterday, Patrick Muyaya, in a desperate attempt to revive his crumbling propaganda effectiveness, declared that “Rwanda is the DRC’s enemy.”
Muyaya claimed that “Congolese don’t need to ‘Congolize’ a problem that originated abroad”. In other words he was playing the usual Tshisekedist childish games of trying to shift blame for internal failures onto Rwanda.
His remarks were a feeble effort to deflect attention from the real story of the former President Joseph Kabila’s arrival in Goma and his alignment with the AFC/M23 movement. Instead of addressing the growing internal discontent with Tshisekedi’s regime, Muyaya lazily pointed fingers at Rwanda. A tired tactic, it is.
As always, Muyaya, Tshisekedi’s mouthpiece, dismissed the legitimate grievances of the M23 and the political motives behind Kabila’s opposition. According to Muyaya, both are merely Rwandan puppets. A false narrative, merely exposing the moral bankruptcy of the regime.
The Tshisekedi regime’s obsession with blaming Rwanda reveals its lack of political will to resolve the crisis through genuine dialogue. Even with the AFC/M23 sitting at the negotiation table with the Tshisekedi regime in Doha under Qatari mediation, the regime still chooses blame over responsibility.
Again, to de-Congolize Kabila’s cause by falsely attributing it to Rwanda is to deny the reality on the ground. It shows a government more interested in scapegoating than resolving pertinent problems that continue to sink the country.
Peddling anti-Rwanda sentiment to silence dissenters is cowardice.
This anti-Rwanda narrative has been used since the Mobutu era. It has solved nothing. It’s a cover-up that has long lost its power to deceive. Blaming Rwanda for every internal failure is self-defeating and intellectually lazy.
