    "Rwanda’s president says he doesn’t know if his country’s troops are in DRC" @paulkagame gets crazier by the day. Is he the only one who doesn't know?🤣:

    Les débats actuels en #RDCONGO au sujet de la position de @fatshi13 sur le #RapportMapping et sur ce qu'en dit @PaulKagame montrent que la #RDC est bien plus démocratique que le #Rwanda où on n'entend aucune voix dissidente.

    Replying to @geoffreyyork
    Definition genocide convention: "acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such". un.org/en/genocidepre… I'd say prima facie yes for Darfur & Tigray, as well as Tamil in Sri Lanka and perhaps Yezidi.

    I join the Rwandan people in commemorating the beginning of the genocide against the Tutsi 30 years ago. This and other crimes committed in 1994 must not be forgotten nor left unpunished.
