President Paul Kagame has said that Rwanda could not be held responsible for the Democratic Republic of Congo's internal problems. He said that each nation must address its own challenges.
Speaking at the National Umushyikirano Council in Kigali, Kagame insisted that Rwanda would protect its citizens, particularly from the threat posed by the FDLR, a militia made up of remnants of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. Kagame rejected accusations that Rwanda fuels conflict in eastern DR Congo, saying such claims distract from the real issue: the continued presence and support of FDLR and Interahamwe groups inside Congo.
He criticised the Congolese government and parts of the international community for ignoring this threat and instead blaming Rwanda. Kagame added that external actors often pressure Rwanda while allowing Congolese leaders, including President Félix Tshisekedi, to evade responsibility, a pattern he said only encourages further instability.
