One key narrative that Criminal Paul Kagame consistently used to justify the invasion of the sovereign Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) was the alleged marginalisation and denial of rights to Tutsis in the DRC. However, in the recent Washington Agreement and Doha discussions, this issue was conspicuously omitted by Kagame and his delegation, it is no longer being raised by him or his team. The truth is, Kagame’s mineral wars in the DRC are solely about the plundering of natural resources; all other justifications are mere public relations strategies crafted to legitimise his exploitation and aggression.
A serious question must be asked: What became of the issue of Tutsi marginalisation in the Democratic Republic of Congo? Why is it that Criminal Paul Kagame and his associates have never brought this matter to the table, neither during the Washington peace agreement nor in the ongoing Doha discussions?
Has the issue mysteriously disappeared, or did it never truly exist in the first place?
This goes back to the point I have consistently raised since the outbreak of this mineral war in November 2021. This conflict is not about protecting any community. It is driven purely by Criminal Paul Kagame’s insatiable greed for the mineral wealth of the DRC. Every other narrative, whether framed as ethnic protection, security concerns, or historical grievances, is nothing more than a smokescreen to justify systematic looting and exploitation of DRC’s natural resources – mineral war.
