Fw: *DHR* What Rwanda said today in UNSC: october 28th.

UNITED NATIONS, October 28 -- When the UN Security Council met about
Eastern Congo at France's request on Monday afternoon, France proposed
a press statement only on the death of a Tanzanian member of the UN's
Force Intervention Brigade.

Rwanda counter-proposed a longer statement but was told those issues
could be considered later. Rwanda agreed to that, but held firm that
the death of Rwandans by shelling from the DRC should be included.

Inner City Press is informed that Rwanda directly challenged the
idea that the UN Security Council should first and foremost be
concerned with "one of our own." Rwanda said that its citizens are
people too.

While it was France which made the proposal, and holds the pen (and
more) on DRC, there was an attempt to make this fight one of Rwanda
against the Troop Contributing Countries.

But Rwanda is one of the largest TCCs, and said they would have no
objection, if one of their peacekeepers were killed in Darfur, to
included civilians in a press statement. There are no first and second
class citizens, Rwanda said.

It's worth nothing that not all TCCs have UN Peacekeeping missions
in or next to their countries.

Rwanda then suggested that two statement be issued. France, to avoid
that, agree to include those killed in Rwanda -- and in the DRC -- in
"their" statement, below (along with footnote on the International
Court of Justice "private" meeting of Monday.)
condolences for the loss of civilian lives in the Democratic Republic
of the Congo, and in Rwanda following shells landing on its
territory."]

On Friday the UN Security Council expressed concern about renewed
hostilities in Eastern Congo, called for "maximum restraint and
de-escalation" and for a political solution. Video here.

Inner City Press asked if the UN Mission MONUSCO was involved in
the fighting and was told, by Secretary General Ban Ki-moon
spokesperson, no.

On Sunday UN envoy Martin Kobler announced that a member of
MONUSCO's Force Intervention Brigade or "FIB" had been killed -- how
that happened without being involved remains UNclear. Then Kobler
toured land re-taken by the Congolese Army which the UN supports, even
in the face of mass rape.

On Monday in front of the Security Council, French Permanent
Representative Gerard Araud told the Press about the weekend's
developments in the Eastern Congo, "What is happening is great. It is
the collapse of the rebels... The DRC army is restoring the
sovereignty of the country. It is exactly what we were hoping for."
Exclusive audio here.

How is this consistent with the Security Council's calls, agreed to
and actually drafted by France which "hold the pen" for the Council on
the DRC, for "restraint" and for a political solution through the
Kampala talks?

Or some now ask, were those calls just lies or a diversion, at least
for some that agreed to or issued them?

When the Security Council traveled recently to Eastern Congo, France
was allowed to hand-pick which media could go on the UN plane and
cover the trip. These scribes, predictably, are not raising or
reporting these questions.

Inner City Press asked: will Kobler take and at last answer
questions? Or has he fully inhabited the character of his boss Herve
Ladsous, who refuses Press questions? Video here, UK coverage here.
Here is Ladsous' history in the Great Lakes region, for France.

Footnote: In the private meeting on the ICJ, the question was raised
why among the 15 judges each of the Permanent Five members always gets
one. That is not in the charter. There was no convincing answer. We'll
have more on this.

OIF : Louise Mushikiwabo, une candidature embarrassante pour un troisième mandat de trop

C'était en novembre 2025, à Kigali. En marge de la 46e Conférence ministérielle de la Francophonie, Louise Mushikiwabo prenait la parole avec l'assurance de celle qui n'a rien à craindre : de nombreux pays, affirmait-elle, lui avaient demandé de se représenter. Spontanément. Naturellement. Unanimement presque. Sauf que les faits racontent une tout autre histoire. L'annonce qui ne devait pas avoir lieu si tôt Novembre 2025. Le Centre de Conventions de Kigali accueille plus de 400 délégués des 90 États membres de l'Organisation internationale de la Francophonie. Le thème officiel porte sur les femmes et l'égalité des genres, trente ans après Pékin. Mais en marge des séances plénières, c'est une autre affaire qui agite les couloirs : Louise Mushikiwabo vient d'annoncer qu'elle souhaite briguer un troisième mandat. L'annonce est prématurée. Délibérément. Les candidatures ne ferment qu'en avril 2026. Aucun autre pays n'a encore ...

Pourquoi les sanctions américaines ne fonctionnent pas contre le Rwanda

Pourquoi Paul Kagame a ignoré les sanctions américaines et la Résolution 2773 du Conseil de sécurité de l'ONU Entre février 2025 et mars 2026, le Trésor américain a imposé deux séries de sanctions ciblant directement la machine de guerre du Rwanda dans l'est du Congo : d'abord James Kabarebe, ministre d'État rwandais et principal intermédiaire du régime auprès du M23, puis les Forces de défense rwandaises en tant qu'entité, ainsi que quatre de leurs hauts responsables. Chacun des individus sanctionnés est demeuré en poste. Les FDR ne se sont pas retirées. Cette analyse examine pourquoi les mesures de Washington n'ont pas modifié la conduite du Rwanda — et pourquoi, selon les propres mots de Kagame, elles sont rejetées comme l'Å“uvre des « simplement stupides ».     Introduction : des sanctions sans conséquence La campagne de sanctions de Washington contre les opérations militaires du Rwanda dans l'est du Congo s'...

Paul Kagame: “We refuse to remove defensive measures"

Paul Kagame Refuses to Implement the Washington Accords and UN Security Council Resolution 2773: Analysis and Implications In an exclusive interview published on 3 April 2026, President Paul Kagame of Rwanda openly confirmed that Rwandan forces are deployed in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, rejected calls for their withdrawal, dismissed US sanctions as illegitimate, and signalled clear satisfaction with the current military status quo. This briefing examines what Kagame said, what his remarks mean for the Washington Accords, and what concrete steps the United States must now take if it wishes to restore credibility to its diplomacy in the Great Lakes region. Introduction: A Confession Wrapped in Grievance The interview, conducted by François Soudan and published in Jeune Afrique on 3 April 2026, is one of the most candid public statements Paul Kagame has made on Rwanda's military role in the DRC. Its significance does not lie in revealing something previously unknown. Th...
