Angry Paul Kagame tells EAC presidents: Rwanda Army is prepared fight back South Africa if necessary

They have displaced people, they have killed people, they have persecuted them on a daily basis for who they are. We have refugees who have been here for the last twenty plus years, just dislocated from Congo and sent to Rwanda because they say these are ethnic Tutsis, therefore, they belong to Rwanda, they don’t belong there. We have MONUSCO, we have SAMIDRC, we have mercenaries, we have Burundi, we have FDLR that has joined them, and everybody is there watching this thing and we pretend like we don’t understand what has been going on for all these years? And then when things like these of last week erupted we behave like we are surprised, we are concerned about humanitarian crisis. Isn’t persecuting people and killing people and displacing them part of that humanitarian concern? As East Africans we sit here and then do what about it? Mr Chairman, Your Excellencies, I want us that for whatever we are saying and whatever we intend to do we capture the context rightly and then proceed based on that, and maybe we can get somewhere. Otherwise if we keep saying good things to each other, being nice, and then each one fulfilling their own interests other than the common interests we have as East Africans, then I don’t see how we are going to contribute effectively to finding a solution. The other day, two or three days ago, we lost people, there was a lot of shelling from eastern Congo, from Goma, killed a dozen people and injured hundreds. We will definitely take care of that, there is no question about it." President Kagame | Extra Ordinary Summit of EAC Heads of State on Eastern DRC.
