Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>The Government of Rwanda on Tuesday, May 28, dismissed a politically motivated media campaign by a journalists\u2019 organisation called Forbidden Stories, which released a series of stories to smear Rwanda\u2019s image.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor several days this month, government officials and Rwandan citizens have been pestered by politically motivated campaigners planning a series of media hit pieces on Rwanda,\u201d the Office of the Government Spokesperson said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have declined to engage with the re-hashed accusations because we have already addressed them repeatedly.\u201d<\/p>\n

The statement said Forbidden Stories series intended to disrupt the presidential and legislative elections due in July.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn a similar vein, along Rwanda\u2019s western border, in the conflict in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, there is a parallel attempt to protect the genocidal militia FDLR, in the hopes of hurting Rwanda and in support of the open call for \u2018regime change\u2019 by the President of the DRC,\u201d the Government Spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

The statement added that the objective would not materialise, thanks to the strong unity and accountable political system that Rwandans have built over the years.<\/p>\n

\u201cRwanda’s democratic processes will continue, and Rwandans will make their choices about who they want to lead them into the future, peacefully and confidently,\u201d it said in conclusion.<\/p>\n
