Shame to the smallest overpopulated country in Africa with an ever growing desire to expand its territory and plunder wealth in the DRC.
The world will never sit to watch this nonsense

American cable news network CNN on Monday night aired an exclusive interview with President Paul Kagame, where he addressed the ongoing security crisis in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), a situation that has led to deteriorating relations between Rwanda and Congo.

During the interview, the Rwandan President strongly rejected claims that Rwanda was fueling the conflict in the mineral-rich region by supporting the M23 rebel group, which recently captured the city of Goma. He reiterated that the M23 rebels are not Rwandans but Congolese nationals fighting for their rights.

The President dismissed claims that Rwanda exploits minerals from the DRC, an allegation frequently made by Congolese authorities and echoed in some international reports. He denied the claims and stated that South Africa and European countries are the primary beneficiaries of DRC’s vast mineral resources.

Regarding the presence of Southern African Development Community (SADC) troops in the DRC, President Kagame dismissed suggestions that their mission was primarily focused on peacekeeping. He accused South Africa of deploying troops to secure the region’s mineral wealth rather than fostering peace.

In response to the edited excerpts aired by CNN, the President’s Press Secretary, Stephanie Nyombayire, pointed out that several crucial elements of the interview had been omitted to fit a "predictable editorial line."

She detailed that during the interview, President Kagame spoke about the threat posed by FDLR, a group associated with rebel forces in the region and composed of remnants of the perpetrators of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda. He stated that the group is supported by governments in the area, despite posing a security threat to Rwanda.

He maintained that Rwanda would do everything to protect itself against such security threats.

"Their goal is not just to fight M23, but to fight Rwanda and overthrow its government, as they have publicly declared. Does anyone think Rwanda will simply sit back and allow that to happen? We will defend ourselves in any form necessary. There is no doubt about it," he stated.

On the principle of national sovereignty, the President emphasized, "I believe in the respect of sovereignty for all countries, including Rwanda. There is no sovereignty more important than another. This is the basic principle."

Reflecting on the broader international community’s role, he noted, "The very same international community blaming Rwanda is the one that has allowed the FDLR to operate in Congo for 30 years. After decades and nearly $40 billion spent, what stability has been achieved? Blaming Rwanda is simply a way to cover up the mess the international community has caused in our region."

The President also criticized how others were framing the insecurity issue, saying, "The problem is simple to understand, but people complicate it to avoid taking action. Even the most uninformed person could grasp the situation after 30 years."

According to President Kagame, the conflict in the eastern DRC has been exacerbated by external forces working with President Felix Tshisekedi.

"I don’t believe anyone, including President Tshisekedi, wants war. However, he has been encouraged by others to fight wars on his behalf. If those external forces weren’t involved, perhaps he would see reason and prioritize peace," he added.

"I am focused on protecting my country and managing national affairs to ensure peace. Meanwhile, Tshisekedi is obsessed with humiliation and his own ego. You cannot run a country or resolve regional issues based solely on ego."

Finally, he emphasized the importance of Rwanda’s self-reliance: "For Rwanda, our priority is clear: we must protect ourselves. We know from history, particularly from 1994, that no one will come to our aid. That’s why we have invested heavily in our security and defence, and the results speak for themselves."

Please give the world the whole conversation don't hide anything

What do you know?

What, When, where and How they propagate on him,Pres.Kagame do what he has to do😊

Shame on him. I used to think he was a good person.

What interest does South Africa have in DRC? It should be in DRC in the capacity of Africa Union engagement. Rwanda can be in DRC in its capacity as an EAC member.
My two cents though.

Larry Madowo to The World

Seems like...

Questo uomo vuol avere tutte le ricchezze minerarie per sé ben protetto dai soliti noti......

What a dunce lol.

Brothers and sisters my country Rwanda is a small country but we are not small. You have seen that our father H.E Paul Kagame have not answered these insults that are coming from the south from the west actually those ones don't kill this is why our father cannot reply actually he can't use insults to reply them no no no.....that's not us but they will learn something by the time that they made a big mistake. War is not the answer of all problems but we love our president and these countries say they want to change the government of Rwanda homie let me tell you this where we have been 30 years ago there is nothing worse that can happen to us also this means if you ever put us in a situation where we have to think like it's going back to that time then we have nothing to lose we will fight like people have nothing to lose and somebody will pay the price other than ourselves. Long Live My President H.E Paul Kagame, Father of my Country Rwanda.💖💖

He cannot lie anymore……… if Rwanda was serious about FDLR they would have solved that problem long time ago when they occupied the eastern part of the Congo several times before. The only reason there is still war there is because of minerals ……… those FLDR that committed genocide in 1994 …..how old are they now? Unless they want the children of those genocidaires to also pay for the sins of their forebearers??

Tutsi LIAR

Sometimes, the best way to handle a biased question is not to answer it at all.

What is DRC paying South Africa to fight its war? Is it all about compassion?😂😂

Kagame hano yarahasebeye.bati? Wibye Irene ati ariko na South Africa yiba Irene kuki bo batavugwa.sinziko yazatsinda uribanza agejejwe mu nkiko?

Bro where is the rest of the video, 45min interview and only 4min?🤣

Rwanda stands today and forever

You may write Rwanda down in history
with bitter, twisted lies
you may tread Rwandans in very dirt
but still, like dust, Rwanda will rise

Does our brightness upset you?
why are you beset with our pride?
cause Rwanda walks like it has got oil wells
pumping in a thousand hills.

Just like moon and like sun,
with the certainty of tides,
just like hopes springing high,
still Rwanda will rise

Did you want to see Rwandans broken?
bowed head and lowered eyes?
shoulders falling down like teardrops
weakened by your lies and thoughts, NO.

Through our history, Rwandans
we've built a strong mystery
through our leaders, Rwandans
we've strong hope and trust in whatever to rise.

Does your haughtiness offend you?
don't you take it awful hard
cause we shine like we've got gold mines
diggin in our own back yard.

You may shoot us with your words,
you may cut us with your eyes
you may kill us with your hatefulness
but still, like air, Rwanda will rise.

Does Rwandan beauty upset you?
does it come as a surprise
that we dance like we've got diamonds
that triggers bright shining in a while?

Out of the huts of history's shame we rise
we are Rwandans all in our hearts
we've left history behind
but building future our history embarks
we can't let your actions guide us back.

wish Rwanda good or bad it'll rise
inhibiting our opportunities we'll rise
cause in our hearts, thoughts and country
opportunities and strength are enough to rise.

Through Unity, working together,
with love of our country, it exists
and will exist forever with strength
development and accountable citizens.

Baho kabeho Rwanda!!!!!!!

Ndi Umunyarwanda ✊

Kagame wos innocent CNN They cut video

Sounds like Potato Brain Biden. How the hell would I know where our troops are.

Leave me alone...i don't know! Looooser😢

Brief Historical Perspective:
1990: Congo (Zaire) under ex-president Mobutu sent army to aid Rwanda's ex-president and friend Habyarimana in fight against RPA (RPF) a group of Rwandan refugees (mainly Tutsi) who had been denied entry into Rwanda for 30 years.
1994: RPA (RPF) army on verge of defeating Rwanda and Congo Goverment forces, Habyarimana's government using militia group called interahamwe resorts to killing almost all Tutsi population in Rwanda as his army retreats and flee to Congo.
1994: Tutsi genocide is committed by ex president Habyarima's army and militias, these groups later fleed to Congo (Zaire) and enjoyed protection of ex-President Mobutu.
1995: ex-Rwandan army and militia now in Congo (Zaire) (FDLR) started massacring Congolese Tutsi population too (Banyamulenge) in North and South Kivu
1996: ex Rwanda army and militia with help of ex President Mobutu started attacking Rwanda's north and west.
1996: RPA (now Rwandan government army) responded to these attacks by entering congo to combat the FDLR
1996: Rwandan Speaking Tutsi Congolese (Banyamulenge) joins RPA (Rwandan Forces) to overthrow Mobutu
1997: Mobutu is overthrown and Desire Kabila becomes President and promised to deal with FDLR but 3 years later back-walks his promises, instead FDLR become re-armed and attacked Rwanda in early 2000s.

This isn't end but just quick recap of historical perspective of the issue.

Tshisekedi is a pawn in Belgium's game; he must go back to Belgium.

Incredible how ignorant people are! All of Congo has been at war since 1960. Its first PM was executed and a dictator placed in the form of Mobutu for nearly 3 decades to facilitate the looting of all the materials. Eastern Congo was so chaotic? Even Che Guevara and Cuba gave up trying to liberate it. In fact, when the genocide in Rwanda was happening in 1994, that same Mobutu was in power allowing the exploitation of this region by diamond smugglers and Western Corporations.

A few years later, Kabila took over and there was still chaos in the Eastern Congo, exacerbated by the fact that perpetrators of the 1994 Genocide ran there to avoid Kagame who liberated Rwanda in spite of the Western nations ignoring it! Kabila’s son then took over and still there was chaos in the Eastern Congo which despite its size, has always been treated as a puppy for the Western Corporations. These same corporations fund this CNN to educate us on how things are instead of us using our eyes to see the truth.

Oh my African people, how stupid we are! How uneducated we are that we think it makes sense to just blame Kagame for the woes of Eastern Congo!

DRC’s President is handling this crisis irresponsibly, making the situation worse instead of seeking diplomatic solutions. Rather than addressing the real issue—the decades-long persecution of Kinyarwanda-speaking Congolese by his own government—he spreads conspiracies and blames Rwanda. He fuels hatred and division while calling M23 a rebel group, a narrative blindly echoed by so-called international organizations like Human Rights Watch.
Meanwhile, videos circulate of FARDC and Burundian forces killing civilians and committing atrocities, yet the world stays silent. M23, on the other hand, has brought stability to areas like Goma, where people welcome them as peacemakers. If journalists truly investigated, they would see that the Congolese have lost faith in FARDC, the Burundian army, the FDLR (a genocidal group responsible for the 1994 Rwandan genocide), and the foreign mercenaries who loot and kill. The real question is: why does the world ignore the root cause? Why do international organizations turn a blind eye to the DRC government’s alliance with the FDLR and mercenaries, which violates international law, while falsely accusing Rwanda for securing its borders?
Let’s not forget that President Tshisekedi openly threatened to destroy Kigali, just as Burundi’s leadership has echoed similar hostility. Africans must ask themselves—why is the West so threatened by a strong, visionary African leader like Paul Kagame? Belgium, which carved up Rwanda’s land and left Kinyarwanda speakers in Congo during colonization, is deeply involved in this conflict but conveniently ignores its historical role.
The real obstacle to their agenda is that Rwandans love and stand by their president. Since Kagame cannot be undermined internally, they are using outsiders—like Tshisekedi and other African leaders—as pawns.
I pray that the truth prevails. If you’re chanting "Free Congo," ask yourself—free from what? The real problem is bad governance.
Think about this: FARDC soldiers fight without shoes or proper uniforms, earning just $70 per month, while the government pays mercenaries $9,000. How can a country win a war when its own soldiers lack patriotism, and foreign troops are only there for money? Even South Africa admitted its involvement is about securing mining interests in the DRC—no wonder their soldiers are dying in Eastern Congo.
I love the Congolese people, and I pray for peace for all. But the DRC government is showing no intention of resolving this crisis—it ignores the suffering of its people and focuses only on seeking sanctions against Rwanda. How does that solve anything?

Not from Rwanda, I was made to believe that this guy was like the Obama or like the Nelson Mandela of Rwanda like he basically like saved and turn the country around which I guess that’s true but now I’m learning that there’s a darker side to this. Thank you so much for shedding light

Since 2023 Rwanda has become the largest exporter of Coltan a mineral that is not in their country😢😢

i've never seen larry FLABBERGASTED🤣🤣🤣... aki ya mungu i swear tuko alternate timeline, corona ilituua sote 2020

Who tf told people that Rwanda doesn’t have minerals. Rubaya, the largest coltan mine in the DRC, is less than 50 km from Rwanda, meaning they share the same topography. Therefore, Rwanda does have minerals as well. Some people be urging about it, like somehow magical the minerals choose to be inside DRC borders only. Bro geography doesn’t have such kind of borders; Educate yourselves.
DRC has the most mines that’s true. But just bcz Rwanda exports as much as DRC, doesn’t prove they are stealing from them. DRC simply lack control and good governance in general. For instance why are there no paved roads connections in the Eastern part of the DRC (in this century) it’s pathetic

LIAR. Shame on Kigame. Shame.

As Patrice Lumumba once said, “We elect hyenas into office and wonder why the sheep 🐑 go missing.”

That’s just BS … Kagame is a warmonger, and he is driven by hate … his history tells all , the man who led a part of a genocide … he is a full incoherent Dictator and must step aside or must go away from African leadership . He is against all UA and against all African neighbors , just friend of other dictators … and for a better Africa , those men need to be changed , those are not leaders , are the garbage of African societies .

" Oh my son, there are so many mysteries in this world"

" They asked me to lead the country; even now I'd like to quit but they are dictating me to stay"

"I don't know? Am I the chief in command? Are you sure of that? Maybe I am, Maybe I'm not, who knows?"


Mister President Kagame; who is forcing you to stay? Who is the true leader of Rwanda? Is it USA? EU? Tell us everything as we can see you are tired from this act.

Y'all need to watch the full interview. PK THE BEST PRESIDENT IN AFRICA🫡

Yesterday, several FDLR generals were handed over to Rwanda after years of the country calling for action from international organizations—requests that were largely ignored. Yet, Western media continues to push biased narratives, accusing Rwanda while ignoring key facts. Why is there no acknowledgment that the DRC has backed the FDLR for over 30 years? The FDLR generals handed over to Rwanda were even dressed in DRC army uniforms, bearing its flag—clear evidence of their ties. Shame on every international organization and the media for turning a blind eye.

I wish Rwanda could support M23, and I don’t understand why the world refuses to back them—true liberators saving lives from the cowardly, inhumane DRC government, which continues to commit atrocities, as evident in countless videos. The real culprits behind these ongoing tragedies are certain European countries, fueling conflict by blaming one side while favoring another for their own economic interests. This hypocrisy only worsens the situation—shame on them!

"I don't know." the shock value. wow.
