To understand the conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo, particularly in the eastern region, we need to talk about its deep historical roots with ties to colonial history, ethnic tension, resource exploitation and international intervention.
Who are the other factions involved in this conflict?
This is the story of Rwanda's intervention in DR Congo.

Point of Correction sir, it is not Rwandan Genocide but Genocide against the Tutsi. Thank you
The classic problem with Africa is that Africans have been miseducated and brainwashed by white supremacists to deny their own ancestors but make European colonialists the new ancestors. Our ancestors created 2100 ethnic countries in Africa which still exist but are kept in the backseat even today. What the white colonialists did at the Berlin Conference 1884/1885 was to bundle these 2100 ethnic countries into 52 colonial contraptions as a wicked experiment to promote chaos and exploitation. So why don't Africans rejuvenate their 2100 ethnic countries instead of maintaining the current pseudo-countries which are obvious traps set by white supremacists? Africans are still brainwashed and that's why. Hope they realize that until they rejuvenate their ethnic countries Africa will remain a source of shame. Abolish the colonial contraptions and declare the ethnic countries immediately just as our ancestors correctly did. The UK has 4 ethnic countries and the EU has 27 ethnic countries. Africa is way bigger and should have the original 2100 ethnic countries again so that the correct identity and language will be applied in each ethnic country as is due for human beings. Today we are still bundled like idiots in colonial contraptions using identity and language imposed by white supremacists in Africa 148 years ago.
I really appreciate you my brother, I Just purchased it course. 👍🏾💯
@@koch2025
How do you differentiate a Hutu to a Tutsi ?
@@koch2025 why do you insist to be called ... tut$I although you've said many times that in Rwa there's no more hut@ or tut$I? Also, all the credible scholars have found that the hutus died more than the tut ?
This video is an example of why we as Africans need to narrate and write our own stories. Excellent work Jude.
Thank you 🙏
Jude might be the best at it. Not just His story telling abilities but his compelling arguments/ analysis are note worthy. Simply transcribe this video into words, with a some added effort and you might just have a graduate level political science paper that tickles the tailbone of an old timer professor. You know, a paper that makes him reach down deep to rearrange his cajones , shimmer in his seat in wait for the concluding paragraphs. This is a masterpiece of geopolitical history of Africa's great lake region. Good job brother!
@spontaneousexpress Thank you 🙏
So much better than the fluff we get here in the U.S. Thank you for making the video.
A flow chart (or some sort of visual) would have helped me keep all the people and alphabet groups organized in my head.
@stuarthall3874 will work to integrate that in future videos. Thank you 🙏
I have been dodging all the non African analysis when it came to this situation. When I saw your video, I clicked right away 👊🏾.
Same here.
Same with me too bro
Same hereeeee
Same here 🇿🇦
Excellent expose. Well researched and ably read.
Superb work. As an Irish person this has given me information I never found in Europe/America videos.
Glad it was helpful!
I am both Burundian and Rwandan. Equal parts tutsi and hutu. I have family in DRC. Therefore this is a topic close to my heart. I am thankful and appreciative of the great care with which you conducted your research and this video, it is of excellent quality. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing!
This is the perfect description of the problem. I am Ugandan a Congolese neighbor and my village is next to Congolese border. Actually most of my tribes mates are in Congo. Ituri province. Everything you have said is true
Excellent reporting Jude. Clear, and comprehensive. The people of Congo have SUFFERED so much 😩
Most confusing War, instead of fighting poverty they fight each other 🤦🏾♂️
it is really very sad
That's literally all wars ever fought in mankind... resources. It's not unique to the Congolese, or the Sudanese, or the Somalis...
Even though the country is in poverty, the leaders are neither the one fighting
Africans know how to honor the master.
@@samijay but why is the country in poverty despite their minerals rich land? I think the government is incapable and always rely on allies who are only interested in their own interests
This is the most insightful explanation of the DRC-Rwanda conflict I've seen this week.
Thank you Mr Jude Bela for this🎉
They will all account for the blood of millions of innocents lives of Congolese citizens that have lost and continue to loose their lives at the mercy of these puppets of the imperialists.
Jude you are on point and your analysis is refreshing. Listening to you from SA.🇿🇦
@mduduzikhumalo4194 Glad you enjoyed it.
Great job. Well said my brother. All the way from South Africa. Let the world leave us telling our own story to the next generations to come. Aluta kontinuwa. Africa must unite.

As someone from England which has always followed events in this part of the world, I really appreciate a channel like this. We do need Africans telling the stories of Africans. This is a great, informative video and I look forward to seeing more of your content.
I wish peace upon the Congolese as soon as possible
Thank you so much 🙏
Its great seeing more and more Africans getting into the geopolitical side of TH-cam and given in depth analyses on current African affairs. Keep up the good work. Sending love from Botswana 🇧🇼

18mins into video and I've already liked and subscribed and can't wait for the next vid 👏🏿
Thank you 🙏
Thank you very much for providing some much needed insight into this ongoing conflict. I have crossed reference some of the facts in your video and they all check out, very well done. This is an unimaginably intricate topic and you've broken it down with your typical top class. One of the many shinning lights in the darkness that can sometimes be Nigeria. We are proud of you young man.
Appreciate the support and encouragement 🙏
Great job, very informative. Unfortunately, news in both Europe and the Americas don't show these topics. Thank you for bringing and keep us informed of these events. Greetings from Costa Rica 🇨🇷
I agree, these stories deserve more attention. Thank you for watching!
I mean, we’ve heard the same thing for decades and decades. At some point people need to take responsibility for themselves
Jude you’re simply the best journalist/story teller in Nigeria. I’ve watched this Drc Congo conflict a lot of times but not 100% understanding it till I watched yours. You simplify it so well that anyone can fully understand the wars that has been befalling the DRC all these years (both 1st and 2nd) 👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️
Indeed 🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱
Nigerians always strive for the best in everything they do.
@@jakeisaac9787 Thank you 🙏
I went through almost all the comments under this video, and I noticed that almost everyone is focusing on the narration and editing of the video. Yes, the video is great, well done, Jude Bela. However, as the youth of this golden continent, Africa, I wonder what we have researched on our own and what solutions we can provide to these issues. Have we even realized that all of this is happening because, years ago, people sat down to plot and plan the tools and scenarios to bring down Africans?
I have lived in Congo some years ago. When you dive deeply into the history of our people in today’s Central Africa, you will find that they were more cohesive and culturally accepting. Although groups were somewhat diverse just like every family group in Nigeria or Ghana today, they lived peacefully with very few problems, until Europeans introduced division, pushing the idea that "this group is better than that group" as part of their plan. If there is anything tearing down Africa, it is the introduction of this division by Europeans. All of this was part of their plan. I am bringing your minds to something.
The questions we must ask ourselves: Who brought this system of divide and conquer? Who supplied the weapons that the so-called rebels are using? Who provided them with those distinct soldier uniforms? Are there foreign mining companies in Congo operating right now while these wars are ongoing? The answer is yes. Why is this happening? Well, you know the answers already.
If someone brings something to you that does not help or serve your people well, what should you do? These are the questions we must confront as the Youth of this continent; even as we seek to understand and address the challenges facing Africa today.
If it is not for the benefit of Africans or 50/50 deal, cut-off the deal, and let us pay-them-off.
Well said
Blaming the Europeans is not the solution
Africa should stand for themselves
The first step is to stop blaming Europeans. That is a self defeating mentality that only ensures you stay mentally trapped with an excuse for failure right out of the gate. The West won’t save Africa, so constantly blaming them won’t get you anywhere e
With all the wars in Congo, the flow of Congo resources is continuous to the West. What we should ask ourselves is who is fueling these wars?
Of all the narrations of this Congo Rwanda bla bla.. this is the most easy to understand and (by my consideration), the most unbiased. Thanks a lot. 👏🏼👏🏼
I was anxiously waiting for your analysis regarding this crisis. Thank God you did

@@mrpaul9064 🙏
This is fantastic. I feel as though all my previous knowledge on this subject was put into place by your analysis. Your work is essential Jude! Keep it up please!!
A detached, neutral analysis, full of credited information. The only thing lacking is the downplaying of the sense of a racial superiority among the Tutsis. This one thing is the real casus belli in Rwanda, Burundi and Eastern Congo. Many commentators avoid highlighting it for fear of being branded racists themselves. But, speak to any Hutu in the Great Lakes, and they will tell you that's the real elephant in the room!
Tutsis lived in peace for a millénium in Congo. They only stirred up when RPF came to power in Kigali.
As much as this is a brilliant story, it also sends shivers down my spine about the complexity of the African states. Ethnic differences with underlying quest for vengeance on account of past conflict is an existential threat to any meaningful development. The handwriting is everywhere and very vivid in Nigeria.
To be honest man, you are destined for much more greater place. Your story telling skills is powerful and amazing. I listened because I saw this story on your channel
I appreciate that!
Awesome presentation. Excellent storytelling. I took plenty of notes for cross-referencing. Need this for my coursework. Good job..!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this, we are literally learning from the debates in the comments. Much appreciated.
God bless Jude Bela, incredible journalism!
Wonderful you perfectly well describe everything that’s going on ! Well done brother 🙏🏾
As a Congolese 🇨🇩 I hope it get out of hand and Kagame and his bloody regime get dealt with expeditiously.
Africa don’t need a nation that kills his own neighbours for profit.
You watched this whole video and don’t hold any accountability for the Congo government for anything
@@Jjsjshthey’re definitely responsible these conflicts not really enriches Europeans, Americans Rwanda and it’s leaders but also DRCongo and it’s leaders for sure that is why it does not get dealt with
You Congolese are misinformed. You’ll blame Kagame for every Congolese problem yet Kagame brought peace stability and order to Rwanda. Something DRC gvt has failed to do. Even Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger have got rid of the coloniser who brought endless problems. Wake up and see the situation for what it is. Stop being lazy in your thinking. Kagame is not that powerful.
@rolong4444 I agree Dr Congo can't continue blaming others and not looking themselves in the mirror. Kagame took over a destroyed/shattered country 30 years ago he rebuild Rwanda from the scratch now Rwanda is one of the best countries in Africa. Museveni took over power in Uganda it's was Jungle he rebuild now they're stable. Congolese use to say their problem is Mobutu now is 27 years since Mobutu but still they're in ruin. Congo leaders led by the 2 Kabila's and Now Tshikedi are to blame as well. Anyway we wish peace for All Africa Countries.
I support the people of Congo, we are praying for this useless war to come to an end. The people of Congo have suffered enough. Kagame who says he doesn't know if his soldiers are on the DRC is a madman.
Alot of research and efforts put in this work. Am from western uganda and I affirm all thus information is 100% right
I’m Angolan and my uncle served In the war of Congo as a diplomat for the Angolan Army
So?
@babykushtkf1874 Tell us more about

It would be really great if we can be shown what is going on in the mines. What exactly is happening there ?

Top notch
Always looking forward to your contents.
Pls stay safe Jude
Thank you 🙏
I believe your content truly deserves my subscription, and this video merits millions of views. It clearly reflects the significant effort you put into it and presents a wealth of accurate historical information.
Much love, if we have the same understanding like you do, these wars can be stopped
Thanks for your kind words and support!
I have a couple of questions for you if you wouldn't mind.
1. When was the first and last time that any rebel group targeted or killed Tutsis in DRC?
2. How many Tutsis have been killed in DRC since then?
3. What is approximately the average age of those FDLR militants who "committed" genocide?
4. Who gave Rwanda (Kagame) the mandate to protect a single community in another country (DRC)?
Wonderful video. You managed to paint the picture very clearly and avoid the propaganda from all sides of these conflicts. As an american, it is incredibly difficult to get the truth about events in africa because so much of our media is beholden to corporations that seek to obfuscate for their own benefits. Thank you for your honesty and integrity.
Thank you 🙏
WOW 💯, I applaud the level of research you did to put together something like this! very nice explanation of how the situation started.. my dad is one of those Congolese tutsis you talked about. If possible please do a follow up video I am sure you can find more information how the DRC government have never protected congolese tutsis but have instead integrated FDLR into the DRC army. The FDLR has became rich and powerful. BTW, residents in areas controlled by the m23 regardless of their ethnicity can testify that the m23 is very disciplined and never mistreat civilians unlike the DRC army. I am just hoping that the minority tutsis voice can be heard for once they have been suffering for soo long. If only our congo can go back to unity and living peacefully between ethnicities!! Imagine when as Africans we will start working together instead of fighting each other.. UNSTOPPABLE we would be indeed
I appreciate your insightful perspective and your passion for peace.
was curious to see what you had to say about these 'new' developments

@frankmarimira9040 Thank🙏 you
@realjudebela I'm from Kivu province in Congo, and I thank you for covering this conflict; however, it's a grave mistake to say that tut$I have been living in the Congo for centuries. It's not true. There's no scholar who have proven that and there is no evidence of that.
Since you're an English speaker, I recommend you a lecture about this issue by a PHD in peace building with the title: Banyamulenge - The Truth of The Matter (Geopolitical Identity)
For books, I recommend: ... of Tutsi in Eastern Congo/Zaïre A case study: South Kivu(Pre-Colonial to 2018) by John Kapapi, Holocaust in Congo by Charles Onana, Kings and Clans by D Newburry
I understand that a lot of people are mislead by the videos circulating of Nyere and Mbeki. If you want to understand that, its like what the US said before invading IRAQ, and you can read why Nyerere and Mbeki in the book: Africa's W War by Gerard Prunier pg.65-67

Very Good project 🎉
Appreciate you! 🙏
One of the best description of the crisis in eastern Congo l have seen online, thank you so much
I'm glad you found it helpful.
Their military are so unprofessional, again the killing of their first prime minister Patrick Lumumba is a curse in their land that is one thing they need to address and the people need to unite against foreign invaders cos they have the world wealthiest nation
Sub-Saharan african need to send troops to help the DRC.
As a Namibian I’m proud my country stood beside its allies. My uncle fought in that war and when he came back he started calling me Kabila, to this day 😅
😂😂😂😂🤣 but why?
9:43 you got it wrong here, Mobutu never welcomed the refugees of 1994, he was rather forced to do this. Please do more research on that!
Who forced him? Why not provide your facts so that we can all learn..??
he actually did welcome them and integrated them into his society.
some people are gonna say Jude is biased.. but to be honest man did enough research, and has nothing to gain into being biased.
keep it up sir!
🙏
I was waiting for you to speak on DRC and Rwanda conflict, overall you did a good job but at some point it felt like you were giving too much credit to nkunda and others Rwandan proxies , nkunda and his colleagues are war criminals , responsible for a lot of atrocities ( multiple genocide, rape, displacement,looting, illegal exploitation of Congolese natural wealth etc ....).
Congolese Tusti/banyamulenge (Congolese Tusti are groups of Tusti present in Congo before june 30th 1960, that criteria is the same for all Congolese ethnic groups, Rwandan migrants mainly from the 60s and the 90s are not Congolese ) are not a marginalized ethnic group,despite being less than 1% of the Congolese population,they are overrepresented in the government ,the police force,and the army.
When nkunda and others Rwandan back militias were fighting the DRC government for allegedly discriminating the Congolese Tusti ,azarias ruberwa a tusti was vice president, bisengimana a tusti was the chief of the national police force,moise nyarugabo was a senator and he is now a member of the national assembly, gisaro is the current minister of infrastructure .
many others were and still hold prominent role in the country,
Congo like many other African countries have some ethnic tension that Rwanda is exaggerating to destabilize us for 3 decades,we have nine neighboring countries ,400+ ethnic groups ,many ethnic groups present in Congo are also found in neighborhing countries, outside of Rwanda and sometimes Uganda not a single of our neighbor invade us to defend a particular ethnic group ,those "congolese " rebels are loyal to Rwanda not to Congo, anytime they were incorporated in the national army it end up bad, They don't want to work outside of Eastern DRC ,after any disagreement with the national government they start a new war,they always defend Rwandan interest.rwanda use them to undermine our institutions,Rwanda is in Congo for looting our minerals and land not for humanitarian purpose.
blablablaaa so because there's one person in a goverment position that means the Injustice for those people cannot happen don't be funny my guy, The guy was fair in describing both sides you just want that he takes your side so bad. come down big man
Patrick, you know this is the truth, but you choose to be a Tutsi enabler and justifier. If a vice president, Chief of police are Tutsis what else evidence? Unless Tutsis take over the whole government even though they are 1% of the population? I think you are Tutsi yourself, blind as a bat, extremist as Ben Gvir!
@@Patrick-wn6uj you are supporting genocide , looting, endless destabilization of our country,Rwandan multiple invasion of DRC caused 8 millions+ innocent death,and many more atrocities.
You are the one downplaying the significant role Congolese Tusti play in our institution, many police chiefs are Tusti,many high Ranking army chiefs are Tusti ,in the current government 3 or 4 minister are Tusti ,compared to their population size they are overrepresented.
Since tshisekedi is president he nominated two Tutsi are high Ranking general masunzu and gasita .
the conglomerates/ multinational companies with the foreign empires(hand in hand) are backing both sides of the war, geopoliticallly it gives them influence and relevance in a heated region and finally the power of the most important mineral resource which comes at an extremely cheap price compared to how much it would cost if the governement/ country was well structured. Generally a growth in Africa would end the foreign empire quick and that would never be allowed.
Paul kagame should be careful of the kind of politice is playing as it concerns DR congo and the Rwanda nation at large, because the entire world now perceiving him as the Vladimir putin of Africa. If cares are not taking, it will lead to a bad end of his reign as Rwanda leader
His type don't end well. He is really destabilizing a whole region for greed.
Im very glad the youtube algorithm let me here. This is all new info to me. Thank you
Thank you for watching 🙏
Just to note: Leopold did not kill 10 million. According to recent research his reign caused a pop. decline of around 1 million, which was a combo of disease, hunger, violence, lowered fertility and flight. Also precolonial rwanda was not peaceful. Twa were considered subhuman and tutsi ruled based on a horrible caste system under Rwabugiri
0:00 So whrre do Tutsis originally come from? Thanks in advance.
@@lammuriTutsi have on average 50 to 60% ethio-somali/eastern African related DNA,40 to50% bantu related DNA,0 to 5% central African hunter gathered(pygmy)related DNA,they speak a bantu language(kinyarwanda )and are culturally similar to their bantu neighbors.
@@lammuri They are colonizer from the Horn of Africa
@@AfricanMaverickNot Ethiopia or Egypt? All that was Kush in ancient times anyway.
@@lammuri nope, somewhere between ethiopia/somalia . with primitive nomadic culture.
I like how you didn't blame the West or China in all these. We Africans have to feel responsibility for our mess.
Is Rwanda actually invading DRC this is a very interesting topic because the DRC government and UN have accused Rwanda of backing m23 multiple times but Rwanda always denied
Kagame is acting on orders of French/western puppet
The RDF is in Congo as we speak but their denying it tho.
This storytelling is fantastic. Definitely professional and talented.
Glad you enjoyed it!
What is FDLR doing in DRC? Where does FDLR get weapons and money to feed its soldiers?
One guess is donation from Hutu diasporas
@@Jjsjsh Donations form Congo government 😏
The Congolese government arms and funds them to help fight m-23, but only the Tutsi people end up paying the price
what would you expect from a group that carries out mass massaacres except to harm civilians
The weapons are from Rwanda, which is in turn sourced from the West.
@AfricanMaverick So means Rwanda give FDLR weapons to fight it (Rwanda)? How ridiculous it is to give your enemy weapons. Your point is not valid.
Two quick points. 1. I can’t believe my good fortune for having stumbled across your amazing channel.
2. Your presentation of the subject matter was nothing short of a master class…Kudos to you Sir!
I’ve been very curious about the history of this conflict and your mini-documentary gave me a well rounded and nuanced perspective…I’m extremely grateful to you for the education…
You’ve somehow encapsulated a very complex and ever changing history into a well researched introduction into the “geopolitical” situation of that region…You’re a fountain of knowledge.
I look forward to pursuing your library and gaining new insights on other important timely issues as well.
Blessings! 🙏🏽
@@TreyBasquiat-j8n Thank you so much 🙌
I wouldn't say otherwise.....such a masterpiece
You know things like this get me bewildered….
We know all our conflict is the West's deliberate efforts to keep Africa underdeveloped, divided, and conflicted. We're aware of their historical atrocities, support for apartheid, and ongoing land theft in Palestine.
Why can't we acknowledge the alarming reality: We, the Melanated (Dark Skin Folk) are an endangered human species. Our ancestors were massacred in North Africa, Australia, Canada, and North & South America through the same tactics.
Why can't we understand that to survive, we must transcend tribal and cultural divisions, recognizing our shared struggle? Western religions and ideologies have divided us for far too long.
Why can't we see that we're one people, one continent, facing a common threat? Our unity is our only hope for survival. The alternative is doom.
Why can't we confront the truth, awaken our collective consciousness, and forge a united Africa, strong and resilient in the face of adversity?
We have internet plus history in our grasp yet we prefer to watch silly comedies and ignore the facts that a bioweapon warfare is going on in our continent. Out of the 7.4 million South Africans with HIV, only 200k of these HIV patients are white the remaining 7.2 million are black. Plus most of them are gay and refuse to give birth.
What happens when people refuse to reproduce?
This is long… my apologies… but it's just sad seeing us playing the games of the colonizers so ignorantly.
Well it’s Rwanda being they puppets if they can get out of Congo and start working together on trading good ect instead of killing us Congolese for the benefit of the white man than things might change in Africa
I see this as a territorial dispute and not an ethnic one; everyone in Eastern Congo is Congolese, Tutsi, or Hutu. It is the responsibility of the DRC to protect its citizens by stopping the Hutu militias from attacking Tutsi civilians.
On the other hand, it is also Congo's responsibility to protect Hutu citizens from the M23. That said, Rwanda has no respect for Congo's sovereignty and this should be a cause of concern for other African nations and UN at large.
Also, the Congo govt has shown bias in recent wars by favouring Hutus as such, Tutsis in Eastern Congo feel vulnerable, and as the host country, the DRC should integrate both communities into society without bias.
That said, this should not distract us from the bigger picture; Congo is being stabbed on all sides, its wealth is being siphoned and its people are oppressed. M23 is not the only culprit, the West, East, Congo gvt, and bad African neighbours. My heart goes out to Batoto, ba Kongo
I personally don’t think Rwanda is trying to invade DRC
Where do you think the minerals Rwanda is selling are coming from they've been exporting DRC minerals even before the war ka game didn't even deny this in an interview with Madowo just a few days ago.
@@JO_ArtificialRwanda has great deal of coltan you can visit any day! 2017,2015 and other years we were the largest exporters, M23 wasn’t there
@@Yuhii1 Rwanda is selling DRC minerals and seeking to claim DRC territories as their own.
I presume this is part 1 by public demand part 2 is loading i love it bro
🙏
Wow, what a video! Minerals are Africa's curse again.
It's a blessing. But, the continent needs to have sovereign through weapons and ideologies.
It's a complex issue.
Depends on what angle you look at it from. Thats like saying crops are a curse. Shey you wan starve?
@@OPFCartoons Well you have the most wonderful Agricultural land. Why do you focus in minerals that is causing these terrible wars? Give it away to two equal powerful enemy powers so they can kill each other and leave you alone.
Thanks so much my brother! I hate to hear about war in any part of Africa . Coming of Kailahun district in the East of Sierra Leone, where the rebels heavily wretched terror us, I completely hate to hear the present development in Congo.
I appreciate Liberia. Guinea, The Gambia, Ghana and Nigeria as they helped Sierra Leone Government and International Criminal Court to track, arrest and handover anybody which was called to question by the International Criminal Court any role they play in the rebel war in Sierra Leone.
This is the most simplistically elaborated story of the congo , Rwanda sssshhhhh no one said it better.
Welldone.
Thank you 🙏
Thank you so much for the analysis, next time tell us who is benefiting more in Congo minerals between Rwanda, Congolese leaders,Ramaphosa and his family, Westerners and their UN who has been in Congo for 30 years to solve 1 problem that have never been solved but aggravated
Kagame is not the source , this conflict has roots cause from Belgium where some indigenous Rwanda were annexed to Congo and become Congolaise while borders were established. Congo chose to partner Genicidal guys from Rwanda instead of protecting their minorities Tusti against death, rape , torture, the Tutsi genocide continued in Congo, this is a serious and complex problem that need a serious solution. It is not a joke
Love this. You are a rare gem.Thank you so very much for this high level but easy to understand historical narrative of the crisis in the Congos. Bless you
Rwanda is really reflecting French tradition by having such a Napoleon Complex for decades at this point.
I would argue that their country has developed an oppression complex like Israel.
Kagame literally still argues that there are genocidaires left in DRC.... most of these people would be in their 70s and 80s. What threat can they be?
Regardless, they're no longer, they're dead. It's preposterous, yet no one dares voice that statement.
@@TheeQuirkyPanda The comparison to Israel is what I'm thinking as well, and by that logic, Rwanda may come up with a flimsy excuse that the current generation of Hutus are being taught to hate Tutsis, as a perverted way to pass along hatred and strife. At least in Gaza, there was direct evidence supporting it like the Hamas run children's show "Tomorrow's Pioneers", yet I hold serious doubt that the anti-Kagame rebels hold even a fraction of such influence or resources to spread that message.
@@plasticwalnut7650 it is Kagame himself who is inducing Hutus to hate on Tutsis. and he has a very good reason to fear the Hutus he has been persecuting for the last 33 years
I fled Goma in 2001 so I know more about this than you think;
Rwanda claim that all they want is democracy but there is nothing democratic about how they are managing the mineral rich areas they have annexed - women and young girls are being raped, homes looted, indiscriminate killings of males, bodies on the streets, crude limb amputations for the girls who resisted rape... all in the name of looking for a group of Hutus they defeated 33 years ago
my comment is being deleted but the world has to know what those evil Rwandans are really upto
He is the only Genocidaire will know... there are no Genocidaire we know of other than the chap called Paul Western Condom Kagame@@TheeQuirkyPanda
He is defending his people,I guess he has rights,either way people living in eastern kivu are Tutsi right,same as kagame,y not
That war was a massive loss for Zimbabweans who were sent there. Two of my neighbours, soldiers at the time went AWOL out of fear of deployment in the Congo and the funny thing was that we all knew about it and they would talk openly about huge losses at the front.
Insightful info about the conflict in the region, I couldn't have understood it better
So, the assessment here lacks nuance.
First, the FDLR no longer exists. It is simply a myth that Rwanda must maintain to justify their violation of Congolese sovereignty. We are now 30 years after the genocide. These 'rebel' men are 30 years older... So, most are dead, elderly, or absorbed into the general population. Thus, no longer constituting a threat of any kind. If they feel as though genocidaires remain, they can submit their identities to the ICC.
The overwhelming majority of Rwandans in Congo are Hutu people who fled retaliation- even if they had nothing to do with the genocide of 94. These people are also targeted, more violently to add, by Tutsi paramilitias than the other way around.
Second, Mobutu did not support genocidaires. That's simply a lie that has persisted in history. Mobutu supported a Hutu majority political order. He was an ally of Habyarimana. Whom, Kagame considers as the architect of the genocide... which makes very little sense since Habyarimana's allies were the first eliminated during the genocide's pogroms.
Third, it is not true that the Congolese political establishment did not respect their end of the bargain with Kaunda and his men. They rebelled once more after spending several months without pay and proper military infrastructure... which is something that all Congolese soldiers face... the state coffers are usually empty. Why did they specifically rebel because of that while most Congolese soldiers simply muddle through the shortcomings of the state?
This is because their rebellion happened out of basic political and economic interests... it had nothing to do with perceived discrimination. It was about the lack of food and pay first. Then, it was about their economic interests and ethnic allegiances.
Fourth, the economic incentive is not a new one. Various UN reports have confirmed the smuggling of conflict minerals into Rwanda from the DRC since as early as 2004/2005.
Fifth, the analysis is dodging the fact that there are 4000 Rwandan soldiers in DRC right now. They are directly supporting the M23. They are also there illegally as their presence was not approved by the legislative and executive bodies.
We're also ignoring that hundreds of paramilitias exist in the country, and none has ever been able to completely seize a city nor has any ever threatened to march to the capital. Thus, this group evidently has sponsors. Who are these actors giving them military equipment? Training them in specialized warfare? This cannot be done by a group of unskilled and illiterate people, which most Banyamulenge people and Rwandan refugees are.
Many also talk about so-called grievances... it makes no sense that people who are disenfranchised to the degree claimed can pool together enough resources to have millions of dollars worth of equipment... it just doesn't follow logic.
Lastly, this analysis did not address how Ntaganda has direct kinship links with Kagame and how they both come from the Tutsi political elite that fled Rwanda for Uganda to prepare a coup for... decades. The M23 has a direct foreign element to it. It is not a Congolese rebel group. It is a proxy that has successfully used history, genocide, and crisis to justice its reign of terror. It is a mixed bag of Rwandan soldiers and former refugees. The Tutsis who consider themselves Congolese (Banyamulenge people) have their own paramilitary groups. And, unsurprisingly, they do not have the resources to seize a city. They usually carry small-scale terror attacks.
I always ask these questions: if this group revendicates their rights... why do they directly target civilians and not military personnel? Why do they commit mass rapes? Why do they seek to terrorize populations to the point of making them afraid to come back home? And lastly, why do they ALWAYS target resource rich territories? Why don't they ever fight their guerilla wars with the so-called FDLR that is allegedly in the mountains of Eastern DRC? Even though no one has ever found the FDLR's encampments or proof of their targetting of Congolese Tutsis.
Also, ask yourself... if Rwanda has limited involvement, why does it's state department constantly go on these social media campaigns spreading misinformation? Why are there paid ads and sponsored recommendations of THEIR media organizations' version of the so-called facts if they are not involved? Why support a rebel group on the basis of ethnicity instead of offering them to come back home?
I will close with this: Rwanda is a disaster waiting to happen. This country has never healed from its genocide, and Kagame's firm hand is the only thing holding it together. People disappear, get arrested, are assassinated -both domestically and internationally- for simply questioning the regime's official genocide narrative. As the rest of Africa abandons Congo... the repercussions of Kagame's will to power and/or his unavoidable downfall will be a catastrophe that the continent might never recover from. The failings of history will catch up to us. The blood of over 6 million people have fed anger and resentment into the country's soil. I fear that another tragedy is waiting to unfold.
It's a complex issue, and I'm sure there's a lot more nuances to it than covered in this simplified narration. Thanks for throwing more light on the situation and I deeply appreciate your feedback.
@@realjudebelanevertheless, I'm happy that you exposed your audience to this issue. You're a deeply appreciated voice in this space.
@@TheeQuirkyPanda Thank you 🙏
"First, the FDLR no longer exists. It is simply a myth that Rwanda must maintain to justify their violation of Congolese sovereignty. We are now 30 years after the genocide. " This is a funny statement given the UN reports that accuse Rwanda of backing M23 also warn Congo to stop supporting FDLR hhhhh so you just choose to believe one side of the report because it fits your Narrative, if thats the case you don't trust the UN reports either
"Lastly, this analysis did not address how Ntaganda has direct kinship links with Kagame and how they both come from the Tutsi political elite that fled Rwanda for Uganda to prepare a coup for... decades" Another funny statement dude you are funny.. Kagame fled to Uganda at age of 4 to prepare a coup for decades lmao.
"The Tutsis who consider themselves Congolese (Banyamulenge people)" hhhh you don't even call them congolese yourself when they have been there for hundreds of years, recognized as refugees by the UN when they have a country.
Most of what you are saying are person beliefs and tiktok videos ask yourself this ask yourself that.. Most of what this video says is the true history that can be backed by recorded histroy not speculations of yours.
Everything that you said above is accurate 1000% backed by newspaper articles, diplomatic cables (Wikileaks), vetted documentaries and books by African History & Geopolitical analysts. I can truly tell that you have done your research extensively.
Not only did Mobutu not welcome the genocidaires into then Zaire, he wanted to have them registered and screened like anyone else coming in the territory which the UN and many western countries vehemently refused.
For decades now, it is well documented and reported that most of these paramilitary groups that come into DRC then terrorize the populace but when faced with greater firepower or military strategy disappear into (you guessed it!) Rwanda and Uganda mostly but sometimes Burundi. Many such eye-witness accounts are even on Western news channels as are those of the soldiers of these paramilitary when caught as they say they hail from Rwanda and Uganda.
This issue is made far more complex than it true is.
Another master class. Thanks Jude❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wether you hate him or like him kagame is the man , the man who really embodied intelligence & resillience , i dont say he is innocent bcz in the fight for the power they re always ungodly acts . But simply i m saying give credit where it s due .
There is a sheep.
The French used the Rwandan army to kill thousands of Madagascans in cabo Delgado. Until it happens to your country, you'll keep saying kagame has mastered "intelligence and resilience" whatever that even means.
Fantastic work JB! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
You man, you are brilliant. Very well delivered piece of history spiced by very cool and clear nation that reflects your true professionalsm. Keep it up.
you can call him Leopold the butcher
I would argue that to call him that is an insult to butchers. At least they perform a duty to their communities. Whereas Leopold...just evil for the sake of money.
@@gollygeep good point, any suggestions?
@@technomad9071 Just spit after saying his name, maybe? In all seriousness, Leopold the Monstrous works for me. 😂
Rwanda president has got to go. We need no damn wars in Africa. We need to be working together, not destroying ourselves.
Paul kagame is not the Elder statesman he pretends to be.He is not a leader but a tribes man,a tutsie protagonist that metamorphosed to a mineral resources looter. He is the perfect definition of a Jaunta. He is guilty of the demise of millions of innocent citizens of the DRC.
This is sad and not what we need in Africa. Paul kagame should be made to obey the international law on Souvreignty.
You all think this is kagames plan. But kagame is just he young adopted son of m7 who grew up in my home. M7 was the msterplan of this Tutsi dynasty thing. He came last in elctions in 1980 in uganda and got guns and went to become a gurilla man and killed 500,000 ugandans to yake power. As a son of a tutsi refugee he doesnt even care about uganda. He always says helives and fights for his beliefs and his Tutsi family. Not anyone else. Of cos m7 is th one who shot down hutu president habyarimanas plane to start the genocide and put the boy living in his home as rwanda president after indoctrinating him enough. Then thy needed to lootcongos minerals to build their tutsi empire in rwanda. Kagame is just a pawn. The yutsi king andmasterplanner is M7
@rickyreward226 This is the 21st Century . The age of civilisation and information. The tutsies should stop jaunting down innocent DRC citizens in proxy primitive fights. One grave offence that Paul Kagame has made is to defy the souvreignty law. Another offence is looting DRC by proxy. That is the behaviour of a Thug. Thuggery is the height of lawlessness.
At a time, the AES leaders gave Mother Africa her" Bragging Rights" . Kagame decided to unleash a show of Shame on Africans. This is sad.
We need a leader in Rwanda .
leadership is about the people.Not about tribe, religion ,or vandalism of other country's resources. Paul kagame is not a leader. Rwandans deserve a leader, not a lawless tutsie protagonist. How does he keep winning the democratic ??? elections in Rwanda
Interesting write-up. I am listening from Cameroon.
South Africa is fighting tribal wars in Congo
It started as a tribal war but has evolved into something bigger than that
while practicing xenophobia in south Africa 🤐
Controlling boarders means xenophobia… then thats good because we dont want another Tutsi bullshit in SA
They are not fighting tribal wars. They are a nation with similar history, literally flanked by Namibia and Zimbabwe, who are allies of the DRC, that is in an unending war with Rwanda, Burundi, and Uganda, who keep making significant progress in central Africa. If they do not pay attention, they too will be impacted eventually.
Amazing research, narration and storytelling as expected. Great job Jude!
As an Ethiopian millennial in the diaspora, I support the Banyamulenge and the wider Tutsi and Hima communities throughout the Great Lakes region-you have my unwavering support. I became aware of this forgotten genocide a few years ago. The Hema-Lendu conflict seems even more neglected.
I have visited Rwanda 10 times in the past five years, most recently last week, and I will continue to connect and do business in the country.
God bless you, Cattle Kings. 🇪🇹 🤝🇷🇼
God bless you my blood love from Rwanda 🇷🇼❤️ welcome 🤗

Thank you brother, nothing but love for our brothers in the Aristocratic and uncolonised Ethiopia. Thanks for the support, be blessed ♥
I feel sorry to the young kids of Goma, who will grow up with a trauma of gunshot sounds, seeing their mothers' fear and tears. They are just victims of violence. I speak for Congolese, Hutu and Tutsi children. The world is stealing their peace
This is one of the most accurated analysis. I will say 80% accurate.
We are getting there 👍🏽
I appreciate the feedback!
M23 is to Rwanda as Wagner to Russia..... right?
No really... Wagner is a contractor, and they have no political ambition. M23 is trying to "liberate" Congo and install a government led by their leaders.
M23 is to Rwanda what the Houtis are to Iran.
@@TheeQuirkyPanda Interesting comment! 😂'liberate' indeed.
Thanks for your contribution.
@@TheeQuirkyPanda hmm 🤔 “Liberate” from which enemy?
@@mrnatha that's why I put it in quotations 😂😂
@@theonly6359 their rhetoric basically states that the Tutsis of Congo are oppressed and they must be liberated. From whom? We're not sure. But, when all fails, they blame Kinshasa.
