Criminal Paul Kagame’s delusions of Grandeur to March 2000KM to Kinshasa, yet he has failed to march to Uvira.

By: Robert Fati Gakwerere

The talkative, bloodthirsty terrorist of Rwanda boasted on July 4, 2025, before a gathering of state loyalists and foreign diplomats based in Kigali, that his forces could march 2,000 kilometers to Kinshasa to silence anyone who threatens him. He conveniently forgot that he had already attempted this route through the Kitona operation in 1998, which ended in failure. He tried again through RDF-backed RCD, and it too failed. Subsequent efforts through RDF-CNDP collapsed, and the first phase of RDF-M23 (Part One) was decisively crushed. Now, he is attempting it again through RDF-M23 Part Two, an equally doomed campaign that is already showing signs of collapse.

The deluded dictator still believes that the conditions which once enabled the removal of Mobutu are still in place. Back then, the RPA (now RDF), NRA (now UPDF), and other regional forces, including those from Burundi and Angola, played a significant role in the march to Kinshasa. Critically, the internal factor, the overwhelming discontent of the Congolese population with Mobutu’s regime, was instrumental in the success of that campaign. Today, however, both internal and external conditions have drastically changed and are no longer favorable.

Before boasting about marching 2,000 kilometers to Kinshasa, where is Paul Kagame’s much-touted plan to capture Uvira? It was supposed to fall in February, then March, then April, and again before the Washington peace agreement in June. Now it’s July, and Kagame and his RDF-M23 militia have still failed to capture Uvira.
