Truth be said Prof you seem to be biased. Every President who has provided troops has done so in securing minerals provided to them as individuals not states. Proof of that is there hence backing Mnangagwa on previous lost elections for the same reasons by the same group of presidents
Kkkkk meet in another war zone, what a shame.What a useless bunch of thugs
Sadc is just as useless as Ecowas they don't solve any problems. Ordinary Zimbabweans are suffering and fleeing everyday. Now they want to solve Congos problems there lool 😅
just as he was explaining something critical, "can we talk about…………" and diverts the whole issue. VERY GOOD JOURNALISM THERE
Kagame is not to blame entirely but the RDC President has to address the M23 Concerns in full before blaming Kagame
Who meets in zimbabwe its not sadc, stop call this corrupted cadres as leaders of sadc. We the people of sadc region are not represented by this killers. Thieves and corrupted mans.
They have meet to discuss own agenda, whom need support to stay in power even if loose election.
Its time for we the people of sadc raise up and say enough its enough.
Excellent TALK Prof. well articulated with a deep knowledge of the situation
SADC will always be surprised and ashamed the fact that they have no reason to fight
Kagame caused the genocide in Rwanda after shooting down the then hutu Presidents plane and killing both Rwandan and burundian Presidents; he then put it all on the back of the hutu bantu people of Rwanda, since then he's been killing hutu civilians like no mans business, causing 8 million deaths in Congo, killing UN peacekeepers, looting congo minerals, causing a humanitarian catastrophe in the region; threatening the whole SADC; He even once threatened the life of the then Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete. Even Burundi has once complained that he was supporting rebels and harbouring coup plotters that wanted to topple the then Burndian President. As if thats not enough his police even once killed ethnic tutsi nyamulenges in the refugee camp in Rwanda, the group he claims to protect. What kind of human is he that he evades the international systems and get away with all that. An international tribunal has to be set up to look into these crimes
Best useless leaders
What is sad is someone with your capacity can't even tell the truth.
Let peace reign
M 23 will not stop the war because it is dictated by the western country ,those lies DR to negotiate unless they prepare war to conquer the entire territory of DRC
…on whose interest is SA soldiers in DRC?
Is the professor paid to give this selective analysis.
Clowns….. how can you make peace with the people,who willing to die if they didn't get what they want…
So ur opposing ur elders. You hv no history in ur mind.imagine the whole you😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
All those in interest hv long benefits from minerals in DRC
You don't deserve to be called prof, if me primary teacher in Uganda understands the root course of the problem. We have banyarwanda in Uganda and we accept them as Ugandans which is true, why can't Congo understand the same
SADC is not the right platform to discuss this. Prof Mandaza is right – Kagame is the agitator in that region; it is he that benefits most from the conflict with Uganda in support (and he can hide behind pursuing 1994 genocidiers, and the EU/US will not sanction him because of their hangover embarrassments for not doing enough in 1994 ).
So how can this be a SADC matter?!
This is an AU discussion now because the EAC is clearly captured by Kagame…and therefore no sobriety remains in that grouping because they’re all benefiting from the instability in the Eastern DRC.
A SADC meeting is yet more much-ado-about-nothing! Especially since really only South Africa is contributing meaningful resources in the peacekeeping mission (where are Angola, Namibia, Botswana’s forces?)
The AU must step in now, and decisively!
Africa we still have problem of leaders who are not thinking properly . How can you make this clear while you are skipping that m23 are DRC citizens fighting for freedom
Kagame is our problems as Africans
Prof with all due respect, who created the borders. Rwanda and East DRC people are one people so in my view DRC needs to be divided. They are a lot of ethnic groups in DRC that government doesn’t represent.
Madame you should have allowed prof to laid the foundation whci is very important to understand the situation. Kagame is a liar!
The other day, another meeting was in Nairobi talking the same thing. These Africa regional blocks could be part of the DRC problem and confusion.
What a shameful analysis that is one sided and full of falsehood!! What does it cost to the "Professor" to do a little bit more digging in this issue and provide a much more balanced view of the situation!! This kind of analysis is full of intellectual laziness and can only continue to exacerbate more confusion and misinformation of the current conflict.
Thabo Mbeki knows the truth but he is taking sides which is a problem for African leaders.
You people from South Africa you strong about Aconomics maybe But for the was like fighting we find you are like kinds l love Julius malema he knows the strongest power of rebels M23 have Because South Africa soldiers they fighting for money But M23 fighting for He’s country and He’s family killed Avery day in Congo so before you send South Africa soldiers in Congo please read the history About the problem l was fear the soldiers from South Africa before But now I Can’t fear them Again l find they have power for moving only in the car but for fighting no and no
The Communist, Corrupt, Criminal, ANC Crime Syndicate can't organise a Piss in a Beer Brewery then then they Try to dabble in complex matters as the Military and Foreign Affairs. If they were 'Firing Above our Heads' How then did our troops got Killed and Wounded????Please next time get proper analysts on this subject NOT ANY ANC Connected! – 3000 SADF MORE coming to Congo'-Are these 3000 going to WALK to the Congo because there are NO Transport to get them there or Back? They don't, though have to walk ALL the way due to the many rivers and lakes they can SWIM Half the Way! Please note 600 already Surrendered-White Flag?????
Nero Did NOT have to be in Rome while it was burning, he, as Emperor could demand Rome to be burned e.g. Ramaphosa is OUT of South Africa 60% of the TIME WHILE South Africa is BURNING!!! At least Nero could play a Violin, Rama can't play a Cheap CHINESE Yō, YO!
Professor, I hope the funds you’ve consumed don’t choke you as SADC forces fight alongside the FDLR, while you conveniently blame it on “mines.” Rwanda has no mines? That’s a blatant lie, Rwanda produces tin, coltan, tungsten, and even gold from mines in Rutongo, Ngororero, Nyakabingo, and beyond. Your narrative is not just false, it’s diabolical. Rwandaphone people are not going anywhere. I’m Kenyan, and I’m heading to the border to stand with the M23 against you neo-colonial puppets. I respect my South African brothers and sisters, but your corrupt leaders are steering you down the wrong path.
SADC do not disturb the Lion in its jungle. SA was fighting side by side with the FDLR who committed the genocide against the Tutsis in Rwanda. Then Ramaphosa threatened Rwanda. you don’t want to go that way. The peace of Rwanda cannot be threatened we came the long way. Think twice
Even mbeki was and still benefiting from DRCongo, remember his answer in parliamentary when asked about private jet and villa he responded that he had his own business in DRCongo
Kagame is a very big killer
THIS MAN HE DONT KNOW REALITY<<< HES TO FAR AND INFO HES GETTING IS UN HEALTH>>>> CONGO LEADER MY BE HE GIVE HIM WRONG INFO SOUTH AFRICA LEADERS THE HIGHT WITH POWDER<< THIS IS REALITY FDLR DID SAME THING WRONG RWANDA<1994 <<< NOW CONGO NATIONALITY IN GOMA<< THE ARE ON RUN SINCE 2012,, MEANS SAME LEADER SAYING YOUR NOT CONGELES BUT SAME ONE LOOK LIKE IN RWANDA <<< AND THE SAYING NO WAY WERE ARE CONGALESE AND LEADR OF CONGO KNOWS THAT<< THE TRYING TO DELETE THOSE COMMUNITY<< SO THE COME TOGHTER AND SAY M23..

Please invite people who knows Congo situation from colonial time. They will tell you how M23 is in Congo. Then they need freedom. M23 deserves independence.
There is no way that Kagame is going to stop. Stealing the DRC's mineral resources is the only way he can sustain Rwanda's economy and therefore retain power as president for life. Of South Africa's nine provinces, Rwanda's GDP is only greater than that of the Northern Cape.
I used to see old men and think they are wise until I've seen you here. Rwabda has no any sin
we stand with DRC. This is what is happening in congo: Just because they call themselves Congolese doesn't mean they are . There has never been any tribe called Banyamurenge in congo . These are the refugees who ran from civil war in Rwanda. Congo accepted them as refugee with compassion. Now when Laurent Desire Kabila toppled Mobutu, he was aided militarily by Rwanda and Burundi, then when He got the power he said to his allies to go back to their countries for their payments will be respected but they in turn didn't want to go back to their countries that is why their went to hide among the refugees in the eastern part of the congo and started the war. When they started they weren't strong until all the west superpowers got behind Rwanda and wished to keep the instability going so that they can continue to loot the DRCongo . Now After a very long time, this group feels empowered enough and start laying claims of that side of the country of congo as their own share of land . this is insane , if that that Land was poor in resource they wouldn't have done that ! M23 has never been Congolese
Problem is not who support M23 why M23 fighting they are fight for freedom to live in their Land Kinyarwanda speaking in Eastern Congo killed like animals no one talk about that there are spend more 30years in refugee camps in the region USA, EUROPE, Australia who talk about that no one and then UN And DRC government manipulating the world for nonsense UN experts reports that Rwanda backing M23 like cartons in the eyes 👀 UN mission in Eastern DRC spend twenty something years fight alongside FDLR ,FARDC, WAZALENDO ,SADC and EUROPEAN MERCENARIES and create more than 250 rebels killing people fighting for nothing just mining’s under government and UN and no one talk about them even the UN experts. just only M23 fighting for such mess to know the truth behind go and ask citizens live in the M23 territory Bunagana Rushuru Goma now there are in peace wake up people don’t be manipulated.
This man said absolutely nothing
Mnagagwa is cancer.how ca he fix problems coursed by him stilling votes.do u exepect anything good from this useless ediot rull pple by force.fix him first b4 .fixing DRC problem.
Why do you think you are more knowledgeable than HE Mbeki and the Late Nyerere who explain this situation better?
Mr Ibo Mandaza you are wrong and totally biased . And please don’t lie to anyone because you don’t know Rwanda. We know our beautiful Rwanda better than you. Rwanda has minerals make no mistake. We have coltan, gold and very recently huge deposit of lithium . Rwanda is strategizing to ensure proper investment to start extracting lithium.
Failure to acknowledge that
1. Rwanda is a key player in the solution
2. East African States have a role to play
Will result in endless violence
The problem is you the western
This guy is not a political anylist, he is very ignorant of the isssue. M2£ are DRC citizens coming home to stay and can not be denied this time by special interests.
We failing to understand madala because politicians lie😮
Baboon parliament.
