The ceasefire held until December of that year when Tshisekedi decided to expel the regional force.<\/p>\n<p>Nduhungirehe further cited difficulties around the agreed CONOPS, a concept of operations to neutralise the FDLR and allow Rwanda to lift defensive measures. This, he said, was also hindered by Tshisekedi as he blocked its final progress by refusing direct talks with M23.<\/p>\n<p>After all that, Nduhungirehe said, the DR Congo president requested US mediation hoping to be favoured but was surprised when Washington took a \u201crational position.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Even after signing the Washington Accords on December 4, Tshisekedi continued to make hostile remarks in Kinshasa days after, but Nduhungirehe said he was not surprised by that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would recall that President Tshisekedi had, in 2023, promised to bomb Kigali without setting a foot on the ground. He promised to help the Rwandan youth overthrow what he called a diabolical government,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven last year, in Rwanda, we had signed a ceasefire that went into force on August 4. Then what happened at that time?\u201d he asked before noting that Tshisekedi then embarked on further militarisation with the introduction of more Burundian troops and foreign mercenaries.<\/p>\n<p>Nduhungirehe referred to it as &#8220;strange and cynical&#8221; for a president or government that openly violates ceasefires to turn and complain about ceasefire violations.<\/p>\n<p>Nduhungirehe also called out the international community for ignoring the repeated ceasefire violations by DR Congo and only reacting when the AFC-M23 responds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have been alerting them for the past weeks and months about what was going on. In a conflict, when you strike every day on the other party&#8230;&#8230;the other party, at some point, reacts. So why would the international community wake up suddenly now, while the situation was going on for several weeks and months?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Rwanda<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Rwanda.
