[Rwanda Forum] Pourquoi la RDC ne savait-elle pas encore qu'elle a le droit de se défendre ?

Pourquoi la RDC ne savait-elle pas encore qu'elle a le droit de se défendre ?

Et pourquoi les États-Unis ont-ils dû le rappeler au Conseil de sécurité des Nations unies

Lors de la dernière réunion du Conseil de sécurité des Nations unies consacrée à la situation dans l'est de la République démocratique du Congo (RDC), une déclaration des États-Unis a surpris de nombreux observateurs : Washington a rappelé que la RDC a pleinement le droit de se défendre, y compris en recevant une assistance militaire du Burundi ou d'autres pays partenaires.[1]

Cette déclaration, pourtant conforme au droit international, soulève une question fondamentale et troublante : pourquoi la RDC semblait-elle hésiter, voire ignorer, ce droit élémentaire à la légitime défense ?

Cette situation n'est ni anodine ni purement diplomatique. Elle révèle des failles profondes dans la stratégie politique, juridique et diplomatique de la RDC face à une agression persistante dans l'est du pays.

Why Didn't the DRC Know It Had the Right to Defend Itself?

And Why Did the United States Have to Remind the UN Security Council?

At the latest United Nations Security Council meeting on the situation in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), a statement from the United States surprised many observers: Washington reminded that the DRC has full right to defend itself, including by receiving military assistance from Burundi or other partner countries.[1]

This statement, though consistent with international law, raises a fundamental and troubling question: why did the DRC seem to hesitate, or even ignore, this elementary right to self-defence?

This situation is neither trivial nor purely diplomatic. It reveals deep flaws in the DRC's political, legal and diplomatic strategy in the face of persistent aggression in the east of the country.

[Rwanda Forum] The order to search and capture of a Rwandan general for genocide and killing four Spaniards.

The order to search and capture of a Rwandan general for genocide and killing four Spaniards. The National Court magistrate José Luis Calama has ordered the search and capture of Kayumba Nyamwasa, a general and former head of Rwanda's secret services, who is under investigation for terrorism, torture, genocide and crimes against humanity. In the court order, which El Confidencial has seen, the judge places him among the top responsible for mass killings of civilians in Rwanda during the 1990s, and asserts that he ordered the assassination of four Spaniards: the priest Joaquim Vallmajó; the nurse María Flors Sirera Fortuny; the photographer Luis Valtueña Gallego; and the doctor Manuel Madrazo Osuna. Calama links Nyamwasa to various war crimes and notes that "he coordinated the military operation in the Byumba stadium," a town in northern Rwanda. That event took place in April 1994, when 2,500 Hutu refugees were gathered "to be massacred by throwing grenades and then o...
