Le Rwanda au Mozambique : qui les a placés là, pourquoi ils ne peuvent pas rester et pourquoi la SADC doit les remplacer avant que les dégâts ne deviennent permanents

  Qui a placé le Rwanda là-bas, pourquoi la France refuse de le remplacer, comment le déploiement est devenu un bouclier contre les sanctions, et pourquoi la SADC doit agir avant que les dégâts ne deviennent permanents Mars 2026   Résumé exécutif Les sanctions occidentales contre les Forces de Défense du Rwanda (RDF), imposées par les États-Unis le 2 mars 2026 en vertu du Global Magnitsky Act et relayées par une pression croissante de l'Union européenne, ont mis à nu une contradiction stratégique de premier ordre. La même force militaire sanctionnée pour son soutien opérationnel direct au groupe rebelle M23 en République démocratique du Congo est simultanément le principal garant sécuritaire d'un projet de gaz naturel liquéfié (GNL) de 20 milliards de dollars exploité par le géant français TotalEnergies à Cabo Delgado, dans le nord du Mozambique. Cette analyse répond à trois questions interconnectées dont les réponses définissent ...

UK and US in Africa Great Lakes: A Strategy Built on Sand

  A Strategy Built on Sand: How Western Military Support for Rwanda and Uganda. Fuelled Authoritarianism and Prolonged Conflict in the African Great Lakes Region.   Introduction: The Logic That Failed For more than three decades, the United States and the United Kingdom have invested heavily in building what they hoped would be stable, capable, and pro-Western security partners in the African Great Lakes Region. Rwanda and Uganda were the centrepiece of this strategy.

Both were celebrated in Western capitals as models of governance, post-conflict reconstruction, and economic development. That strategy has failed — comprehensively and consequentially. What the United States and United Kingdom created were not pillars of regional stability. They created highly militarised, authoritaria...

The Killing of Karine Buisset. RDF/M23 Responsible in Any Scenario.

The Killing of Karine Buisset in Goma: Rwanda's Occupation, a Drone Strike, and the Long Pattern of Targeted Violence In the early hours of Wednesday, 11 March 2026, a drone struck a two-storey residential building in the Himbi neighbourhood of Goma, a city held by Rwanda-backed RDF/M23 rebels since January 2025. Karine Buisset, a 54-year-old French national from Belz in Morbihan and a UNICEF child protection officer, was sleeping in the apartment of Christine Guinot, UNICEF's head of security in the DRC, who was not present that night. Buisset died at the scene. Two other people were also killed. By 4:12 a.m., a second wave of strikes had hit the city. RDF/M23 spokesperson Lawrence Kanyuka attributed the drone attack to the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (FARDC), describing it as a "combat drone" strike and a "terrorist attack" on civilian areas. France's President Emmanuel Macron confirmed Buisset's death on...
