FDLR is fully integrated into the Congolese Armed Forces (FARDC), as repeatedly documented by the UN Group of Experts,\u201d reads the statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTaken together, these facts represent a serious threat to Rwanda\u2019s national security. Because of that growing risk, Rwanda\u2019s position is that the M23 issue must be resolved politically amongst Congolese. It will not be accepted for the problem to be externalized into Rwanda, by force, once again,\u201d the Ministry said.<\/p>\n<p>The Congolese political and military leadership, including President Tshisekedi, has also repeatedly declared their intention to invade Rwanda and change the country\u2019s elected government by force.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRwanda takes them at their word, and has adjusted our posture accordingly,\u201d the statement said. \u201cThis includes measures to ensure complete air defence of Rwandan territory, and to degrade offensive air capabilities, following the introduction of advanced Chinese CH-4 attack drones by DRC in 2023, and repeated violations of Rwandan air space by Congolese fighter jets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>US change of policy?<\/p>\n<p>The State Department of the United States Government released a statement on February 17 accusing Rwanda of supporting the M23 rebels, a claim that the Congolese government peddles but which Rwanda dismisses. In the statement, the FDLR, which was sanctioned as a terrorist group by the same department in 2001, is called \u201can armed group named as a \u2018negative force\u2019 by regional bodies and the government of the DRC.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Rwandan foreign ministry said the US State Department \u201cfundamentally distorts these realities, and stands in puzzling contradiction with the substance and tone of the confidence-building process\u201d initiated by the U.S. Director of National Intelligence in November 2023, which created a productive framework for de-escalation. The US has for months acted as a mediator between DR Congo and Rwanda over the conflict in eastern DR Congo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRwanda will seek clarification from the U.S. Government to ascertain whether its statement represents an abrupt shift in policy, or simply a lack of internal coordination,\u201d the Ministry said.<\/p>\n<p>In 2001, the US government added the FDLR, then known as \u201cALIR a.k.a. Interahamwe, ex-FAR\u201d to the Terrorist Exclusion List under the provisions of the Patriot Act, after the group murdered, and in some cases raped, eight Western tourists in Bwindi, Uganda, including two Americans.<\/p>\n<p>The ministry said the characterisation of this genocidal and terrorist outfit merely as an \u2018armed group named as a \u2018negative force\u2019 by regional bodies and the government of the DRC\u2019 is \u201ca shocking and cynical act of realpolitik, which calls into question the ability of the United States to serve as a credible mediator in the Great Lakes Region.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DR Congo\u2019s support to FDLR is \u201ca matter of state policy, not the choice of individual actors,\u201d it said, adding that ending Congolese state support for the terrorist group, and ensuring their demobilization and repatriation to Rwanda, is \u201ca non-negotiable requirement to protect Rwanda\u2019s territorial integrity and guarantee the preservation of our hard-won national unity for future generations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAccordingly, Rwanda reserves the right to take any legitimate measures to defend our country, so long as this threat exists.,\u201d the ministry said.<\/p>\n<p>It added that the Rwandan government appreciates and fully supports the tireless mediation efforts of regional leaders, notably President Joa\u0303o Lourenc\u0327o of Angola, and is committed to taking extraordinary steps to achieve security and stability in our region by addressing the root causes of the conflict.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/rwanda\">Rwanda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Rwanda.
