The EU said it had imposed restrictive measures against nine Congolese and Rwandan individuals responsible for acts that constitute serious violations of human rights and abuses in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and that fuel armed conflict.


The measures include travel bans and asset freezes, and forbids EU citizens and companies from making funds available to them.


Among them is Captain Jean-Pierre Niragire, alias Gasasira, who has been in command of the special forces of the Rwandan Defence Forces (RDF) deployed in the North Kivu region of the DRC since May 2022, the EU statement said.


It added that Niragire "is therefore responsible for supporting the M23 armed group, which is fuelling the armed conflict, instability and insecurity in Congo, in particular by supplying it with troops and equipment."

Ikinyamakuru "Igihe" kiti u Rwanda rurimo gufasha Congo muri byinshi ariko dore ibyo barimo kudukorera. None se icyo kinyamakaru kiyobewe uko  Habyarimana yafashije Museveni mu  mu ntambara Museveni yarwanaga, nose hari icyo Habyarimana atakoze ngo umubano we na Museveni umere neza. Havuyemo iki.

Biracyaza.  -- ________________________________________________________________ -Ushobora kohereza message yawe kuri : rwandaforum@googlegroups.com -Ushobora kwiyandikisha kuri iyo groupe wandikira: rwandaforum+subscribe@googlegroups.com -Ushobora kwikura kuri iyo groupe wandikira: rwandaforum+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com -Archives z'iyi groupe ushobora kuzisoma kuri: https://rwandaforumonline.blogs...
