For various reasons—fear of discrediting the @UN, or of angering the M23 and suffering the consequences in the rebel-occupied territories—official sources won't say this openly.

Madame, je pense qu'en lisant les commentaires et les cités, vous avez compris que les gens ont l'impression d'être tombés sur un false flag de Léon Kakese.
Il est des moments où l'éloge de l'illégalité et de forfaiture ne tient plus, même sous couvert du beau.
On en reparle aux prochaines inondations ? 🏗️🚜

Comme promis, il est 20h et je suis un peu plus posée pour vous parler de ce que j’ai découvert aujourd’hui au cœur de #Kinshasa… et que beaucoup ne connaissent pas forcément. Avant de juger (ou insulter) prenons juste le temps de lire 😊 Je reste ouverte aux échanges et aux questions. Comme vous, je voulais comprendre ce que le projet Waterfront Villas (situé non loin du fleuve, l’avenue derrière av. Roi Baudouin) apporte concrètement à notre ville, au-delà de l’immobilier. Après les vidéos vues hier, ma curiosité était encore plus grande. Aujourd’hui, grâce à un tweep, j’ai pu visiter le site; plus spécifiquement l’espace prévu pour les promenades, profiter de la vue sur le fleuve, respirer un peu… ainsi que quelques villas. Et franchement : wow. J’ai souvent marché dans ce coin, alors savoir qu’il y aura bientôt une vraie promenade, ouverte, moderne et accessible à TOUS… ça change tout. Oui, on pourra y accéder, continuer à courir et profiter de l’espace. C’est aussi ça qui fait la beauté des villes comme Dubaï, par exemple. Et enfin, ça commence chez nous.

Hmn… Sharufa… cet espace aurait pu être un espace public accessible à tous, un parc urbain. Il est malheureusement capturé par un groupe qui veut se laver en offrant une petite bande pour la « promenade ». C’est ridicule ! Soyons un peu exigeant.

This post attempts to delegitimize a segment of the Banyamulenge community, but it fundamentally misrepresents the internal reality on the ground and the political dynamics shaping the current conflict.
First, the author deliberately avoids acknowledging the real divide within the Banyamulenge community. This is not a question of “unrecognized individuals,” but of two clearly defined blocs:
•Akagara — Banyamulenge who have refused the instrumentalization of their identity in a foreign-backed war, and who openly advocate for political engagement, state-building, and unity within the DRC.
•Ibifobagane — those who have aligned themselves with armed movements and external interests, particularly those tied to Kigali’s regional strategy.
By ignoring this distinction, the post creates a false narrative of illegitimacy, when in reality, it is confronting a loss of narrative control.
Second, the claim that these individuals are “not recognized” is weak and politically biased. Recognition is not determined by informal diaspora circles or fraudulent, corrupt, and subversive associations like MPA (Mahoro Peace Association). It is determined by who is able to engage institutions, influence policy, and shape outcomes.
The fact that these Banyamulenge whistleblowers/representatives:
•are received in Washington, D.C.
•engage directly with Congolese state officials
•are part of high-level regional discussions
…signals not a lack of legitimacy, but the emergence of a new, structured leadership pipeline that prioritizes diplomacy for peace over militarization for violence/violations. Is it reminiscent of the time of RCD and FRF?
Third, the criticism of engagement with Kinshasa exposes the author’s bias.
Let’s be clear: engaging the sovereign government of the DRC is not betrayal — it is statecraft. It is building peaceful bridges. It is restorative wisdom of those who love their country. It is what wise men do.
What is actually being challenged here is a long-standing model where:
•Banyamulenge grievances were instrumentalized to loot and build in neighboring countries
•armed struggle was normalized under foreign falsehood
•and external actors hijacked the outcome
Akagara disrupts this by saying: “We will solve our issues through institutions, not through proxy wars.”
That is a direct threat to actors who benefit from instability.
Fourth, the author’s background matters.
This is someone:
•born in the DRC
•but politically and socially shaped within Rwanda
•and consistently aligned with Kigali’s framing of the conflict
That perspective is not neutral. It reflects a geopolitical alignment, not an objective reading of Banyamulenge interests.
Fifth, the post attempts to weaponize humanitarian concerns (Minembwe, Burundian troops, etc.) to discredit Akagara voices. This is a classic tactic:
•raise legitimate suffering
•then redirect it to invalidate alternative leadership
But let’s be precise:
Akagara’s position is not denial of suffering — it is rejection of the idea that war is the solution and instrumentalisation for economic, political, or military gains is acceptable.
Finally, what is really happening here is a moment a historic moment:
•The monopoly over “who speaks for the Banyamulenge” is breaking
•Armed-aligned narratives are losing credibility internationally
•A diplomacy-first, institution-driven leadership (Akagara) is gaining traction
That shift is uncomfortable for those who built influence through conflict.
Bottom line:
This post is not a neutral warning — it is a defensive reaction to the rise of a Banyamulenge voice that rejects war, rejects manipulation, rejects instrumentalisation, and chooses political legitimacy over armed alignment.
And that is precisely why it is being attacked.

It’s deeply concerning and troubling to witness what is unfolding involving certain individuals claiming to represent the Banyamulenge community. 1.These individuals are not recognized by the Banyamulenge community whether in the United States or elsewhere as legitimate representatives. 2.Some of them were previously affiliated with the Mahoro Peace Association (MPA) in the U.S. However, in recent months, they appear to have aligned themselves with authorities in Kinshasa. To gain visibility and legitimacy, they have created a separate platform in the U.S., presenting themselves as representatives of the Banyamulenge community. 3.A few weeks ago, they were received in Washington, D.C., by @PatrickMuyaya Minister of information in the Congolese government, seemingly to portray themselves as voices of the Banyamulenge. This raises serious concerns, particularly given ongoing reports of violence affecting Banyamulenge populations in places like Minembwe. 4.There are also claims that @PatrickMuyaya traveled to Ottawa in an effort to encourage others to support this narrative, allegedly using state resources to do so. 5.More recently, these same individuals were reportedly presented to @GeneralNeva , which further adds to concerns about efforts to shape a particular narrative at the regional level. Many view these individuals as unrepresentative and acting against the interests of their own community. Their recognition appears to come primarily from government actors rather than from the Banyamulenge population itself. At the same time, there are serious allegations regarding the situation on the High Plateaux, by The #BurundianTroops including restrictions on movement and access to basic necessities affecting #Banyamulenge civilians. These claims highlight the urgency of independent verification and international attention. In light of all this, there is a strong call from many voices to: •Reject misinformation and misrepresentation •Encourage transparency and accountability •Urge the international community to pay closer attention to the situation •Amplify the voices of affected civilians who continue to seek safety, recognition, and protection Above all, it is important to emphasize that the #Banyamulenge community is not defined by a few individuals, and that many continue to call for peace, justice, and to have their voices genuinely heard. @AKibasumba @US_SrAdvisorAF @SecRubio @AlexMvuka @blackkyete @kivuutile @TopKivu @CoulibalyBojana @MuyeheEmile @nmuhamiriza @MaryLawlorhrds @Katsuva_R @wembi_steve @onduhungirehe @TEDDYMAZINA @PatriceNgira @kanezamitt @Kaifsonia20 @EspoirKing1 @ERuhimbika @MONUSCO @PUKACE_ @MoiseNyarugabo @TwirwanehoMoise @SugiraMireille @TopKivu

White Afrikaans 'refugees' returning to South Africa due to financial concerns, difficulty adapting to American culture and feeling culturally isolated despite integrating into workplaces and schools
When U.S. President Donald Trump introduced a special refugee pathway for white South Africans in 2025, the policy sparked global attention. The program allowed Afrikaners—descendants of mainly Dutch settlers and Afrikaans-speaking South Africans—to enter the United States under claims of discrimination and violence at home.
Several thousand Afrikaners took the opportunity to relocate to the United States due to a false narrative of a non existent genocide on white farmers in South Africa.
South Africa’s government strongly rejected the claim that white citizens face systematic persecution. Officials argued that crime affects all South Africans regardless of race and that police statistics do not support the narrative of targeted anti-white violence.
The U.S. initiative prioritized Afrikaners for refugee admission, dramatically reshaping the country’s refugee system and reducing the overall annual cap to just 7,500 people. The Trump administration justified the policy by citing alleged discrimination and violence against white farmers and landowners in South Africa. The first group of Afrikaner families arrived in the United States in May 2025, greeted with media attention and political debate.
Yet, not long after arriving, some families have begun returning to South Africa, citing a range of personal and practical reasons for leaving the U.S.
One of the most common reasons cited by returning Afrikaners is the high cost of living in the United States.
Healthcare in particular can be a major adjustment. Unlike South Africa’s mix of public and private systems, medical treatment in the United States often requires expensive insurance or high out-of-pocket payments.
For some Afrikaner families, the economic trade-off simply did not make sense in the long term.
While American salaries are often higher, everyday expenses can be significantly greater than in South Africa. Housing, health insurance, childcare, and education can place heavy financial pressure on families. Many newcomers discover that even well-paying jobs can leave little disposable income once those costs are covered.

Back and forth over the Washington Agreement seems to hinge on sequencing, arguing that one party needs to fulfill their obligations before the other will do so. But the text is clear that both sides’ obligations are meant to be implemented simultaneously. state.gov/peace-agreemen…

#Guerre_du_M23: C’est dans cette maison que le lieutenant-colonel #Willy_Ngoma a passé ses dernières heures nocturnes avant qu’une bombe, larguée par un drone, qui a atteint le bâtiment à 2h40’ ce mardi 24 février. Ce bâtiment est une résidence privée du général Innocent Gahizi des FARDC, située dans sa ferme de kishusha non loin de la cité minière de #Rubaya, dans le territoire de #Masisi. Les rebelles M23 l’utilisaient régulièrement pour des réunions stratégiques, car elle est isolée de la cité de Rubaya. La mort de Willy Ngoma constitue une perte pour les rebelles du M23, qui avaient également perdu le colonel #Castro_Fidel, surnomé (Bravo one) pour les initiés, considéré comme l’un des cerveaux du mouvement du 23 Mars sur les plans politique et diplomatique le 17 Janvier 2024. @TazamaRDC_Infos
