At the African Land Forces Summit in Rome hosted by @SETAF_Africa, Deputy Assistant Secretary Sarah Troutman’s keynote remarks highlighted how commercial diplomacy advances shared U.S.-Africa security objectives. She also met with land forces commanders from Gabon, DRC, CAR, and Burundi on security cooperation and commercial opportunities, and engaged U.S. companies on private sector solutions to shared security challenges.

Statement on Cabinet Resolutions of 2 April 2026

April 7th is coming up soon, a date of remembrance. The plan for the genocide perpetrated against the Tutsi and its execution were established by international experts mandated at the very time of its execution in 1994, and was definitively confirmed by the Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda and the United Nations. We in Rwanda and around the world are approaching the commemoration of the genocide perpetrated against the Tutsi, planned by the regime of General Habyarimana, committed thirty-two years ago, with the full knowledge of its preparation by the international community. On 23th December 2003, the UN designated April 7th of each year as the International Day of Reflection on this Genocide, and to remove any doubt, on 28 January 2018, the UN established that this day should be called the INTERNATIONAL DAY OF REFLECTION ON THE GENOCIDE COMMITTED AGAINST THE TUTSI IN RWANDA IN 1994, in order to remove any doubt and name the crime and its victims. This historical truth is inconvenient for the perpetrators of the genocide and their sympathizers, such as the son of former Rwandan President Major General Juvénal Habyarimana, the planner of this genocide. Let us recall some legal facts to revisit the history of the planning and execution of this genocide: From June 9 to 20, 1994, the Special Rapporteur of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights, René Degni Segui, conducted his investigations in Rwanda and published his first report establishing the facts and their analysis on June 28, 1994. He concluded unequivocally that a genocide was being committed against the Tutsi population in Rwanda, stating it in stark terms: “The classification of genocide must already be applied to the Tutsi. The international community is witnessing a human tragedy that appears to be well orchestrated. The massacres are all the more horrific and terrifying because they are presented as planned, systematic, and atrocious.” On July 1, 1994, the United Nations Security Council established a commission of three international experts in its resolution 935 with the clear mandate to present findings “regarding the evidence concerning serious violations of international humanitarian law committed in the territory of Rwanda, including possible acts of genocide.” The Commission conducted an investigation in Rwanda from August 29 to September 17, 1994, and issued its preliminary report on October 4, 1994, concluding that there was “overwhelming evidence that acts of genocide were committed against the Tutsi group by Hutu elements acting in a concerted, planned, systematic, and methodical manner.” The experts also concluded that it was necessary to establish an international criminal tribunal to try the perpetrators and accomplices. The final report was submitted to the Security Council on December 9, 1994, confirming the same findings. On November 8, 1994, the Security Council took concrete action and adopted Resolution 955, establishing an international criminal tribunal to try those responsible for genocide and other serious violations of international humanitarian law committed in 1994 in Rwanda and in the territory of neighboring states. The Tribunal was established and operated for approximately twenty years. He issued several decisions, including judgments condemning 65 perpetrators of the genocide committed against the Tutsi, consecrating the agreement to commit genocide against Tutsi civilians and the perpetration of the same genocide. Among other legal victories, on May 1, 1998, Jean Kambanda, Prime Minister of the genocidal government, pleaded guilty to eleven counts of genocide, conspiracy to commit genocide, direct and public incitement to commit genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes. He was sentenced to life imprisonment. In his guilty plea, Kambanda clearly stated that he led a government tasked with carrying out a genocide against the Tutsi that had been planned in advance by the previous regime of General Juvénal Habyarimana. On September 2, 1998, the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda delivered its verdict against Jean-Paul Akayesu, former mayor of Taba Commune, who had not pleaded guilty. The tribunal established the facts of the genocide against the Tutsi in these terms: “It is now clear that the massacres that occurred in Rwanda in 1994 had a specific objective: to exterminate the Tutsis, specifically targeted because of their membership in the Tutsi ethnic group, and not because they were RPF fighters. This constitutes genocide, which was committed in Rwanda in 1994 against the Tutsi as a group.” On June 16, 2006, the Appeals Chamber of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda definitively established the judicial finding concluding that it was "a matter of public record that between April 6 and July 17, 1994, a genocide was committed in Rwanda against the Tutsi ethnic group." On April 16, 2014, the United Nations Security Council, in Resolution 2150, recognized the international nature of the genocide perpetrated against the Tutsi, the obligation of all states to cooperate in the arrest and prosecution of its perpetrators, and to combat its denial. Here are some excerpts to remind deniers of this genocide: - "Recalling that between April 6 and July 17, 1994, a genocide was committed in Rwanda against the Tutsi ethnic group, that more than one million people were killed in this genocide, and noting with concern any form of denial of this genocide; - Emphasizes the importance of learning the lessons of the genocide perpetrated in 1994 against the Tutsi in Rwanda; " - Unreservedly condemns any denial of this genocide and urges Member States to develop educational programs to instill the lessons of the genocide in the minds of future generations, with the aim of preventing future genocides; - Welcomes the efforts made by Member States to investigate and prosecute all persons accused of this genocide; - Calls upon all States to cooperate with the ICTR, the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals, and the Rwandan Government to arrest and bring to justice the nine remaining fugitives indicted by the ICTR, and also calls upon States to investigate, arrest, prosecute, or extradite, in accordance with their international obligations, all other fugitives accused of genocide residing in their territory, including the leaders of the FDLR. When deniers like @JLHaby, @haby_haby2, @gmbonyumutwa and all deniers persist in denying the undeniable, falsifying the unfalsifiable, defending the indefensible, and so on, in an attempt to exonerate the criminal regime of Juvénal Habyarimana, the planner of the genocide against the Tutsi, one is legitimately led to wonder what kind of heaven they think they're rising from. The commemoration of this genocide, unique in the world, the first in Africa, which the world will soon commemorate in just a few days, must truly serve as a reminder so that prevention finally becomes the ultimate goal envisioned by every human being and every state.

Rumors are flying that Félix Tshisekedi could appear in Epstein-related files. After that video with a young woman, people say he wouldn’t let go of her hand 😅. His taste? Still being joked about “Kayikwamba Wagner 2,” if you know, you know. @ali_naka @jacksonhinklle

La prétendue traque des FDLR par Kinshasa : un discours contesté Selon plusieurs analystes et observateurs de la région des Grands Lacs, l’annonce répétée par le gouvernement de la République démocratique du Congo concernant une future traque des Forces démocratiques de libération du Rwanda (FDLR) serait perçue par certains comme un discours politique visant à rassurer la communauté internationale. Ces critiques estiment que, sur le terrain, des éléments des FDLR continueraient d’être présents au sein de certaines structures sécuritaires et administratives de la RDC, ce qui soulève des interrogations sur la sincérité des engagements annoncés. Selon cette lecture, ce système aurait été toléré ou consolidé sous la présidence de Félix Tshisekedi. Certains rappellent également que, lors de la campagne électorale passée, le président congolais avait tenu des propos fermes contre le gouvernement rwandais dirigé par le Front patriotique rwandais (RPF). Pour ces observateurs, l’absence de clarification ou de rectification publique de ces déclarations alimente les soupçons quant à une stratégie politique régionale qui continuerait d’impliquer des groupes armés hostiles au Rwanda. Dans ce contexte, plusieurs voix estiment que tout soutien direct ou indirect aux FDLR constituerait non seulement une menace pour la stabilité régionale, mais aussi un facteur de propagation de l’idéologie liée au Génocide contre les Tutsi de 1994. Ainsi, ces analystes appellent la communauté internationale à suivre de près la situation sécuritaire dans l’est de la RDC et à condamner toute forme de coopération avec des groupes armés impliqués dans des crimes graves, afin de préserver la paix et la stabilité dans la région des Grands Lacs. 🌍✍️

Les États-Unis, agissant en tant que médiateur, ont exhorté le gouvernement de Kinshasa, dirigé par le Président Tshisekedi, à neutraliser les FDLR. En pratique, cependant, une telle entreprise est presque impossible, étant donné que les FDLR disposent de liens profondément enracinés au sein du gouvernement congolais ainsi que de l’armée (FARDC). Autrement dit, ils ne peuvent pas s’attaquer à des entités dont ils font partie. De plus, le Président Tshisekedi a déjà laissé entendre qu’il pourrait envisager une action militaire contre le Rwanda pour évincer le Président Kagame, ce qui démontre qu’il n’a ni la volonté ni la capacité de démanteler véritablement les milices génocidaires FDLR.@ymahmoudali @EU_Commission @EUatUN @UNOSAPG @NBerlangaEU @WairimuANderitu @JBorgstam @FEGnassingbe @AsstSecStateAF @HuangXia16 @JuttaUrpilainen @AlgeriaUN @jumuiya @ROK_Mission @USEmbKinshasa @OfficialMasisi @SierraLeoneUN @kayikwambaT @ONUMocambique @NgogaFred @GeneralNeva @onduhungirehe @SLOtoUN @BintouKeita_UN @swiss_un @UnderSecStateP @UsambUN @US_SrAdvisorAF @Denmark_UN @USEmbKinshasa @EmmanuelMacron @US_SrAdvisorAF @4thPresidentKE @ONUGeneve @UKUN_NewYork @ottoplatus @CanadaUN @UNHumanRights @FranceONU @USEmbKinshasa @USAmbUN @JosepBorrellF @eucopresident @mbachelet @MofaQatar_FR @antonioguterres

President Ndayishimiye of Burundi, stop spreading false information. This is a consequence of what is happening, especially the violence against Banyamulenge and Tutsi in the DRC. You may face more serious consequences because the suffering of innocent people cannot be ignored. The actions of the DD continue to bring problems upon Burundi. There were also allegations of plans to give the burned military equipment to the FDLR to attack Rwanda. These issues will continue to have serious repercussions. @IntlCrimCourt @FBI @_AfricanUnion @AUC_MoussaFaki @EU_Commission @EUatUN @GeneralNeva @hadjalahbib @AsstSecStateAF @JuttaUrpilainen @FEGnassingbe @un_council @SenateForeign @MofaQatar_FR @CanadaUN @UKUN_NewYork @CanadaUE @SenateForeign @MichaelKanuSL @SecRubio @NshimyimanaEmma @JBorgstam @SecScottBessent @FranceONU @JuttaUrpilainen @HuangXia16 @SophieUKRPG @eucopresident @JosepBorrellF @StateDeptSpox @EP_President @prevotmaxime @USAmbUN @RepStephMurphy @MONUSCO @WilliamsRuto @4thPresidentKE @jlprdeangola @RepStefanik @OfficialMasisi @US_SrAdvisorAF @EmmanuelMacron @secgen @UEenRDC @volker_turk @prevotmaxime @onduhungirehe @HuangXia16 @antonioguterres

Alors que les Léopards font l’histoire, le gouvernement continue d’éviter ses responsabilités. Les célébrations sont bruyantes, mais le silence règne autour des crises nationales non résolues.

@PatrickMuyaya @leopard243 Une journée chômée pour une victoire de football, c’est bien… mais parlons des priorités ! Pendant que le pays célèbre, l’insécurité, le chômage et l’inflation frappent toujours les Congolais ordinaires. Les gestes symboliques ne remplacent pas des solutions concrètes.

Un jour de congé ne résoudra pas les difficultés quotidiennes de millions de Congolais. Cette décision montre un style de gouvernance qui privilégie la popularité à court terme plutôt que des solutions durables.

@PatrickMuyaya Patrick Muyaya, agissant comme un émissaire loyal, accomplit son rôle avec précision, détournant l’attention des propres échecs du régime. En blâmant systématiquement le M23 et en pointant du doigt le Rwanda, la direction échappe à toute responsabilité, externalisant chaque échec

@PatrickMuyaya @leopardsfoot Le leadership de Kinshasa a échoué à établir les bonnes priorités, laissant la mauvaise gouvernance et la corruption se développer, alors même que la nation se réunit pour célébrer ce moment historique.
