SADC seeking to be included in peace talks on the Democratic Republic of Congo

After Adolf Hitler had caused havoc in Europe invading and occupying other countries, instead of only watching him make his territorial conquests, the rest of the world felt threatened by his ambitions. This explained the reason other countries came together to fight him. Would've not been illogical for Nazi Germany to claim that the coalition against it aimed at destabilizing it? Of course, it was aimed at limiting the damages Germans were doing to other nations.

Paul Kagame, after causing the Rwandan genocide which took more than 500,000 lives, and the ongoing Congolese genocide with an already high death toll of almost 8 million people, if not more, it surprises to hear Rwanda complaining at the UN saying that there is a UN force with intentions of destabilizing its territory. They are definitely masters in the game of always playing the victim.

I don't recall how many years it took to the rest of the world to put a coalition against Hitler, but it is long due for the UN to come up with a force that would stop for good what the Rwandan president has been doing for so many years in the Great Lakes region. Nearly 23 years have passed since his Rwandan Patriotic Front forces invaded Rwanda from Uganda.

That Kigali tries today to sideline SADC group of countries in peace talks about security in the Democratic Republic of Congo, pretending that the newly established UN international brigade of intervention intends to harm Rwanda; these are the politics of diversion. The contingent of the unit comprises Tanzanians, South Africans and Malawians.

Despite all the damages caused in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda of President Paul Kagame is aimed at pursuing the status quo which enables it to plunder Congolese resources, this since 1996, the year it entered ex-Zaire under the AFDL banner with other looters: Uganda, Burundi and global multinational interested in strategic mineral resources.

Even if the UN brigade of intervention for Eastern Congo was aimed at destabilizing Rwanda, there would be many strong grounds in favour of such move, considered the millions of lives which have been lost both in Rwanda and DRC, and especially in the latter country where evil strategies of decimating populations for generations to come are being applied by Kagame's funded militias and rebel forces.

Unfortunately, so far, there is no indication to envisage that that brigade intends to go after Kagame and his forces. It does not have the capacity and the mandate. Can this change at some stage in the upcoming future? This is the real question.

SADC Asks the US for Inclusion in DR Congo Peace Talks


Southern Africa: SADC Asks Us for Inclusion in DR Congo Peace Talks

The request follows reports that Rwanda government had sidelined SADC and sought audience with the US Secretary of State Mr John Kerry to discuss events in the region.

Speaking to Journalists after the SADC meeting of the Ministerial Committee of the Organ (MCO) which closed yesterday in Dar es Salaam, the Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Mr Bernard Membe confirmed about the request.

Sources told the 'Sunday News' yesterday that Rwanda had plotted to sideline SADC, in the meeting to be hosted by the US. "It is likely that there is a scheme to sideline SADC," the source said. The source further said that Rwanda has circulated a letter to members of the Security Council criticising the deployment of intervention brigade in DRC.

"Rwanda claims that the deployment was a strategy to destabilise it," said the source. Some diplomats from the Great Lakes Region told this paper that they were surprised how such a meeting could take place without SADC being involved.

"SADC is one of the main stakeholders in the peace and security of DRC," said the source. Meanwhile the outgoing SADC Executive Secretary, Dr Tomaz Salomao said that the deployment of the intervention brigade in the DRC has fared very well.

He told reporters at the Mwalimu Nyerere Conference Centre after the meeting that the Tanzania battalion was already on the ground. He also said that South Africa battalion was now being deployed. "However, the battalion from Malawi will complete deployment by end of August," he said.

He also said that it is high time that problems facing the region be resolved so that SADC can focus on development. Meanwhile a senior anchor for Tele 50 TV Channel based in Kinshasa, Mr Pathy Nkieri said after the deployment of intervention brigade, Goma and its surrounding areas have stabilised. "People in DRC are happy and secured after the SADC intervention brigade deployment.

-“The root cause of the Rwandan tragedy of 1994 is the long and past historical ethnic dominance of one minority ethnic group to the other majority ethnic group. Ignoring this reality is giving a black cheque for the Rwandan people’s future and deepening resentment, hostility and hatred between the two groups.”

-« Ce dont j’ai le plus peur, c’est des gens qui croient que, du jour au lendemain, on peut prendre une société, lui tordre le cou et en faire une autre ».

-“The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.”

-“I have loved justice and hated iniquity: therefore I die in exile.

-“The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.”
