He made the disclosure during a talkshow aired on different local news outlets where he emphasized that Rwanda has solid explanations backed by evidence to counter accusations made by DRC and the means to present them effectively.
Mukuralinda pointed out that DRC consistently amplifies its claims on various platforms, making it seem as though it has outpaced Rwanda in publicizing its narrative.
However, he assured that Rwanda is well aware of these tactics and is taking appropriate measures to respond.
"Everything the Congolese do, they publicize it widely and announce it everywhere they go. Do you think there is anything they say that Rwanda does not respond to? It is not necessary for Rwanda to respond to every claim all the time," he said.
He acknowledged that among DRC’s allegations is the call for sanctions against Rwanda.
However, he reassured that Rwanda is never denied a platform to present its case on the international stage.
In many instances, he said, Rwanda has been given opportunities to explain the situation, revealing the falsehoods in DRC’s statements.
Mukuralinda further stated that Rwanda is actively engaging in diplomatic efforts to ensure that the requested sanctions are not imposed.
"Rwanda’s diplomacy will do everything possible, both publicly and behind the scenes, to prevent these sanctions from being enacted. And as long as Rwanda’s calls for a resolution to the issue go unheard, it will take necessary measures to protect its citizens and national sovereignty. Once the issue is resolved, those measures will be lifted," he added.
He emphasized that Rwanda’s diplomatic efforts should not be complacent about DRC’s statements or its calls for sanctions.
However, he expressed confidence that those responsible for handling the matter are capable of addressing the challenges effectively.
Mukuralinda cited an example of DRC’s attempt to pressure football clubs sponsored by Visit Rwanda to terminate their partnership agreements with Rwanda.
"They wrote to the presidents of these clubs, but no one can simply make a decision without consulting the other party. If we provide explanations, do you think the outcome will be the same? Had we remained silent all this time, the sanctions they are pushing for would have already been imposed," he said.
Mukuralinda called on all Rwandans to actively contribute to explaining the truth about Rwanda’s position, as the facts are clear and well-supported.
"All Rwandans should step up and explain because the truth is there, and it is well understood," he urged.
He cited an example of foreigners who exposed the lies of President Tshisekedi, noting that some had witnessed M23 being welcomed by the population in Goma while Tshisekedi claimed they were not present.
Mukuralinda encouraged Rwandans to use such examples to clarify the reality of the situation.
