Rwanda/DRC: About the FDLR

FDLR rebels are Rwandans. They need sincere guarantees prior to repatriation.
Those involved in crimes await fair justice. Others deserve a normal socio-professional life.
If you jail a politician on suspicions of talking to elements of a rebellion how can you assure them to come home and be safe?

We are in total disagreement with the current government policy of "poaching" some FDLR leaders, while encouraging the use of force against the others.

I therefore solemnly set the goal that if the Rwandan people trust me and elect me as President of Rwanda, my government will hold direct talks with the FDLR.
They are Rwandans and have no other country on this planet. However, those who are responsible for crimes of genocide or crimes against humanity will face justice", Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza, Kigali, May 3rd, 2010.
