You don't know what you're talking about. Nobody is "helping" us. Nations don't have friends, they have interests, and it's not in the West's interests to have a stable Congo. And if Rwanda took over, there would be order, and nothing would be taken for free. So why would the west back that? This narrative annoys the heck out of me. It's rooted in the internalized racism of low expectations -- the idea that Africans are not capable of great feats on their own. And even if one were to counter that Rwanda didn't have the financial manpower, ask yourself this: do you we have less capacity than when we were a refugee rebel force in '94? Do you think we learned no lessons then about our place in the world when absolutely no one came to our aid? Do you think we've spent the last thirty years becoming complacent when we are surrounded by hostile, incompetent, corrupt governments? This war is about securing our borders against extremist Hutus (FDLR) hosted by the Congo government, and ensuring that the Congolese Tutsis are left to live in peace and security. Until that happens, it doesn't matter if the whole world comes against us, we will not stop. Better to die on our feet, with dignity.The West is actually helping Rwanda. Their goal is to split the Congo into states similar to how Somalia is now. So they can exploit it futher,
You sound like an Israeli lmfaooo. Donโt have any foot in this fight but Congolese are always being racist to us and threatening to deport Tutsis to Somalia so I say have at it Rwanda.You don't know what you're talking about.

Trump did state we will win win win like nothing before
It's an easy comparison to make, and one I absolutely hate because we couldn't be any more different. We're not some entitled people who think they're chosen or some such tripe, and neither are we willing to commit genocide to achieve our goals. We want to live in peace with our neighbours. We want a peaceful Great Lakes region, and prosperity for us all. We did not work hard to rebuild our nation, only to turn around and invite war to our doorstep. The issue is that the Congolese not only believe that Tutsis are invaders from Somalia and that Congolese Tutsis are Rwandan, but also that Rwanda belongs to their "bantu", Hutu brothers -- the FDLR; genocide perpetrators who fled to the DRC, and have now integrated into their ranks -- nevermind that we are also "bantu".You sound like an Israeli lmfaooo.

Also why do they say that? What have we done to central Africa smh
No, they have not. Congo is the most corrupt nation in Africa, by far. They have no leaders, and as such no real army. Sure, they have people in their ranks, by the numbers, but they're underpaid -- when they are -- badly trained, and poorly outfitted. They also do not have a sense of proper sense of civic duty, or real patriotism -- never mind the loud noise they make online. It's a pity because with their natural wealth and a little discipline, they could have been a real powerhouse. But they betrayed Lumumba, a true patriot, and here we all are.The Congo must have the worst army in the world. Has anyone ever heard of them winning even a single battle?
Congo state deserves what is happening to it, they gained massive wealth by selling other Africans to the Arabs and West, in exchange for luxury goods and weapons(limited ammo), as soon as slavery was abolished, the state collapsed and then European countries rushed to take land, mainly the Belgium state.It's an easy comparison to make, and one I absolutely hate because we couldn't be any more different.

In 2025, it's next to impossible to commit an evidence-less crime. The whole world has seen the images of Israel's atrocities. Where are the images of M23 or RDF soldiers committing and or celebrating their crimes the way the IDF do? Instead there are images of M23 being welcomed by locals with songs and dance because they're liberating them from the tyranny of the undisciplined Congolese forces who rape and pillage and kill their own because they operate like bandits.
There are also multiple images and videos of Congolese burning and eating Tutsis in broad daylight. The world is interestingly silent about those. Now tell me, if Kenyan Somalis were being grilled by Kenyans, would you sit idly by?
There are of course innocent Congolese casualties of this war, women and children, and I sympathize with them. But we are not the instigators. We are simply defending ourselves and our kin. The evidence is available for anyone willing to look beyond mainstream propaganda.
PS The Congolese are convinced Tutsis are Somalis because of the physical similarities. I watched a live the other day where they attacked a Tanzanian man who looks like Kagame, and when he denied being Rwandan, they called him a lying Tutsi blah blah. I think he's Iraqw or something similar. Their hate and fear of us makes them incapable of logical thought. It's almost as if the concept of ethnicity =/= nationality is beyond their grasp.
Did they not sell slaves that were sent to the americas ?Congo state deserves what is happening to it, they gained massive wealth by selling other Africans to the Arabs and West, in exchange for luxury goods and weapons(without limited ammo), as soon as slavery was abolished, the state collapsed and then European countries rushed to take land, mainly the Belgium state.
If Congo got rid of Hutu war criminals this new war wouldn't have happened, they still harbour these criminals, who continue to kill Tutsis over the border in Congo.
The Kingdom of Congo was an expansionist kingdom, they looted and pillaged their way to the South Atlantic, and eventually met with the Portuguese in the 16th century, which made it extremely rich by selling captured enemies.Did they not sell slaves that were sent to the americas ?
