The Congolese government, the UN and the international community have for half a century failed to secure and protect Congolese Banyarwanda’s rights to life, homeland, nationality, cultural life, property and happiness.

The political leaders of the world community are cautioned on the inescapable legal imperative to stop hindering Congolese Banyarwanda in their legitimate struggle to pugnaciously assert their long violated right to life, homeland, nationality, property, cultural life, happiness et alia.

The leaders of the world community of nations stood by uncaring when these people were being systematically and repeatedly butchered in their tens of thousands in Walikale, Masisi and Rutshuru since 1965 down to the present day.

Who was slaughtering them en masse? They were slaughtered by the Congolese government colluding with local tribes' bankrupt leaders first.

Next, Congolese Government colluded with the French-trained Rwanda government genocidal army and militia that were illegally allowed by the defunct Mobutu regime to enter into eastern Congo with all their armaments, in blatant violation of international law, upon being defeated by the rebellion of the Rwandan Patriotic Front in 1994.

Once again D.R. Congo crisis has hit the forefront of international affairs amid intricate and conflicting protests from different quarters. What’s up? President Joseph Kabila’s government has its version of the story of what goes on in eastern Congo: M23 rebellion is pictured as a Rwanda government proxy.

On tendentious cues from UNO/MONUSCO, treacherous Human Rights Watch (HRW) and subterranean other parties, Congolese communication minister Lambert Mende Omalanga and foreign affairs minister Raymond Tshibanda have been fielded for weeks to go clamoring orbi et urbi that Rwanda is out to grab territory in Congo through interposed rebellion.

President Kagame and his foreign affairs minister Louise Mushikiwabo have in response to that been busy proving at home and abroad that the Congolese proxy aggression claim is baseless.

While the overheated contention between D.R. Congo and Rwanda governments goes on, pending a solution that will certainly soon come about, we call the attention of world political leaders and strategists to ensure the long lasting Congolese Banyargwanda’s fundamental rights deprivation issue is settled once and for all.

The first waves of Congolese Banyargwanda fled their eastern Congo cities and villages in 1994-1996, and they have been living in prolonged and degrading exile in neighboring countries for close to 20 years now.

Toddlers who fled with their parents to Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania et al in the mid 1990 are now grownups, and they of course sneak out from their squalid refugee environment to go beef up the M23 Congolese rebellion today as they did general Laurent Nkunda-led CNDP rebellion in order to fight for their fundamental rights.

Beleaguered President Joseph Kabila will keep duping the world that the M23 rebellion is fiction, that Rwanda has invaded D R Congo, as he said yesterday Saturday, December 15, 2012 in a televised address to the nation, calling the Congolese youth to join the army to resist Rwandan aggression! That is a hoax.

Televised new waves of fleeing Congolese Banyarwanda were recently seen crossing borders of Rwanda and Uganda. They fled in their thousands again and they still flee in thousands, leaving everything behind. They just save their skin.

They live in incredibly squalid conditions in concentration camps in host countries. Why should Congolese Banyarwanda go to Rwanda and spend 20 years in concentration camps so very reminiscent of the Warsaw ghetto?

While the UNO spends billions of dollars annually to cater for the useless MONUSCO officers and men in Congo, these refugees are literally abandoned to their terrible lot.

Living as destitutes in the terrible promiscuity of the tiny tents clustered together for years running, lack of education for the young, lack of health care, utter starvation reminiscent of the Charles Dickens British workhouses of an Oliver Twist ever asking for more of that insipid gruel. Families are given six kilos of maize for a week!

What are the Banyargwanda people supposed to do now, other than fight for their rights, in the ever bloody and retrograde D R Congo, ladies and gentlemen who care to appreciate international affairs including those of the goddamned and wretched “nations” of Africa?
Once again we may call on good old friend Ali A. Mazrui, Albert Schweitzer professor of humanities and director of the Bingham university global cultural studies, titular adviser to topmost executives of the UNO and governments of major western powers for five decades, and put him to task as to deciphering the political grid of D R Congo, the great lakes region and Africa at large.

Here we may indicate the abrasive issue of the looming disintegration of virtually all the artificial African states in the wake of the sudden destruction of Libya by the NATO combined forces.

D.R. Congo government is talking of recruiting men and women to defend their territorial integrity, to guard against what Kabila and his cronies call “balkanization of Congo”.

What is defending territorial integrity when you cannot protect your people, when you cannot pay civil servants salaries? M3 came up with clearly articulated grievances of its own, in the context of an awfully dysfunctional state where unpaid soldiers and policemen go robbing of scavenging for food.
