  1. Every African conflict always involves mass sexual violence, and the current situation in the Congo is no different. Did you ever consider that those guys might bring that culture with them when they immigrate to the West?

  2. The fraudulent election in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) was carried out through an organization called A-web. This was orchestrated by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) over several decades by manipulating pro-China forces within South Korea, including the Democratic Party. (They secured a majority in Parliament through election fraud, enabling legislative dictatorship and dismantling the separation of powers.) Additionally, they controlled the National Election Commission, leading to this situation.

    When South Korea’s president declared martial law to investigate the fraud, the pro-China forces illegally detained him.

    Many South Korean citizens are resisting and striving to uncover the truth about the fraudulent election. However, the legacy media, controlled by the CCP, refuses to report on it.

  3. Instead of asking about 2 million people to leave their home land, wouldn't it be easier and better to support the government fight against the rebels? Unless, these nations have interest on the land and resource😒

  4. UN been there for 30 years besides taking diamonds and gold from Congo what else are they doing there? Why no peace been in Congo for last decades? M23 and Rwanda is not to blame UN and Congo is .

  5. The west has invested in a broken Congo, they want it break up into smaller countries like Sudan, Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia, as well as Russia. They will fund countries to participate in the destabilization. Rwanda is small and is definitely not working alone. We African people need to understand this, the smaller the country the easier it is to control.

  6. Regional countries particularly East African one fear kagame militarily, that's why he's blundering congo resources with impunity,the European nations are benefitting from stolen minerals from congo.

  7. The culprit, the Rwandan army, and Rwandan govt. supporting the rebel must leave from Congo and Goma. Rwandan mission is exposed, and it's to loot Congolese minerals. Dictator Paul Kagame glued to power for over 30 years and never been accused of dictatorship by the west and European.

  8. April 1994, UN peacekeepers (MINUAR) deliberately left the Tutsi in the hands of Hutu genocidaires, and more than a million were slaughtered in just three months. Today, in 2025, UN peacekeepers (MONUSCO) are hand in hand with the same Hutu genocidaires, FDLR, eliminating Tutsi of Eastern DRC origin in the same DRC, an act blessed and supported by the Belgian mercenary president governing the DRC, Étienne Félix Tshisekedi.

  9. Just because the majority of AFC/M23 speak a language that's like kinyarwanda don't mean they are Rwandese. The M23 are saving their own congolese brothers and sisters from a few corrupt FARDC leaders who are also working with other rebels such as FDLR, WAZALENDO, MAI MAI, NYATURA, etc.

    The stronger rebels are FDLR & WAZALENDO who were once the Ex-FAR/INTERAHAMWE who are (RWANDESE), The 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi perpetrators!

    The question you should be asking yourself is,

    Why is the government of DRC been helping out these Rwandese genocide perpetrators to settle in DRC for 31 years and choose kill and remove the Kinyarwanda-speaking Congolese who have been in the Kivu region for centuries way before colonialism?
