A member of the Banyamulenge community recalls:
On October 8, 1996, the Banyamulenge were given six days to leave Congo (then Zaire) or face certain death.
The ultimatum was issued by South Kivu's Deputy Governor, Lwasi Ngabo Lwabanji.
When Zairian forces, allied with Rwandan genocidaires (ex-FAR and Interahamwe), moved to implement the genocidal agenda, the Banyamulenge defended themselves and joined other Zairian rebels in the campaign that would ultimately topple the Mobutu regime.
Kagame’s Rwanda was on the right side of history then, and it still is now.

It was truly remarkable, though not surprising, to see Belgium, Denmark, the EU, Switzerland, the UK, and the US express displeasure that the Banyamulenge escaped genocide and demand that the AFC/M23 retreat so the genocidaires could finish the “job”.
