NAIROBI, Kenya, Feb 20 — Rwanda has demanded the demobilisation and repatriation of the DRC-backed Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR) rebel group as a condition to de-escalate a simmering conflict with Kinshasa.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand comes after the United States called on Rwanda to immediately withdraw its troops from the DRC and remove its surface-to-air missile systems, citing concerns over civilian safety and commercial flight operations in eastern DRC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, President Paul Kagame has maintained that he will not back down, emphasizing that DRC support for FDLR \u201cis a matter of state policy, not the choice of individual actors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEnding Congolese state support for FDLR, and ensuring their demobilization and repatriation to Rwanda, is a non-negotiable requirement to protect Rwanda\u2019s territorial integrity and guarantee the preservation of our hard-won national unity for future generations,\u201d he said, asserting that Rwanda reserves the right to take any legitimate measures to defend itself so long as the threat exists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kagame has been strengthening his military position on the border with DRC amid mounting tension with President Felix Tshisekedi\u2019s regime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has accused the DRC of collaborating with FDLR to expel M23 rebels and Congolese Tutsi civilians into neighboring countries, exacerbating regional instability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He attributed recent M23 advancements to the DRC’s expulsion of the East African Community Regional Force in December 2023, tasked with overseeing ceasefire efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, Kagame stressed that protecting Congolese Tutsi rights falls under the responsibility of the Tshisekedi administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He criticized the DRC’s failure to address the M23 insurgency, adding that it has exposed the entire Great Lakes Region to prolonged conflict and instability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M23, a political problem <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kagame maintained that the decision by DRC to fully integrate FDLR into the Congolese Armed Forces (FARDC), as documented by the UN Group of Experts has further strengthened Rwanda\u2019s resolve to protect its sovereignty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTaken together, these facts represent a serious threat to Rwanda’s national security. Because of that growing risk, Rwanda’s position is that the M23 issue must be resolved politically amongst Congolese,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt will not be accepted for the problem to be externalized into Rwanda, by force, once again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While condemning the deteriorating violence in the Eastern DRC blamed on the actions of the Rwanda-backed, US- and UN-sanctioned M23 armed group, the US warned that the escalation has increased the risk to millions of people already exposed to human rights abuses including displacement, deprivation, and attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The US emphasized the importance of all states respecting each other\u2019s sovereignty and territorial integrity and holding accountable all actors for human rights abuses in the conflict in eastern DRC.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe call on M23 to immediately cease hostilities and withdraw from its current positions around Sake and Goma and in accordance with the Luanda and Nairobi processes,\u201d US Department of State Spokesperson Matthew Miller said on Saturday, February 17.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
