  1. For some reason, he refused to say where he is which probably could be in Rwanda. But he is okay to keep saying Rwandan Troops crossed to Goma of which he really doesn’t know. Why can’t people be committed on being honest?

  2. People celebrating M23 entering Goma tells you everything,if they feel more rwandese let them pack n go to Rwanda n stop destabilising Congo ..congo should take back their city

  3. M23 are freedom fighters, they are tired living in the camps for decades. Why don’t you talk about Congolese refugees who live in camps yet they have their homeland???

  4. Keep going M23🔥✌️💪💪💪💪😘🫡❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥

  5. France stop 🛑 kagame and UN but continue enjoying him as your pawn until the escalation starts.. your efforts will be useless you haven’t learnt from sahel region

  6. In the background, the west stealing natural resources and funding rebels, giving weapons, disease outbreaks all as a distraction for over 30 years while they enrich themselves

  7. Leave congo alone M23 is Kagame we are fighting Rwanda now God protect you and congo people🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩 ✊✊🙏

  8. That clergyman is either very ignorant about the region he claims to care about or he’s intentionally lying for whatever reasons. What kind of agenda drives you to interview such people?

  9. I'm sure there will be peace after when un will find the whistleblower who knows what the truth mean

  10. its time for Congolese to stand on business, how in the world the UN plus South Africa 2nd best army plus Congo can't stand against these M23 rebelles and allies

  11. You western countries you benefit from chaos why dont you leave Africans to handle there own matters even tell me where you changed the situation good

  12. The Bishop must be holed up in a fancy hotel in Kigali! it's a shame he failed to answer which route he took out of Goma. if Kinshasa fails to treat it's Tutsis like they treat other ethnicities then let Kivu break away!!!

  13. Why people can not understand that m23 are fighting for their freedom? These Congolese, but who speak Kinyarwanda has been been in Congo, born in Congo, their parents born in Congo. Why they have to live in refugee in Rwanda, Uganda,… ?

  14. Revolutionary Soldiers should overthrow DRC president and stop all mining operations in DR Congo, bring in Russia to annex Rwanda and colonize them for 100 years before giving them independence

  15. M23 is made up of Rwandans. There’s no ethic group called Tutsi in the Drc. Those are all Rwandans who were réfugies after their genocides, they were welcomed in Congo today they are claiming land and turned into rebels. That’s the reason why Kagame is supporting them

  16. It's embarrassing for DRC to be invaded by a country 10 times smaller in population and 95 times smaller in Area size. DRC has a weak president and Army.

  17. My 2 cents analysis is they can take control of the city but I don't think they can rule it, wazalendos are everywhere, this is not DRC of early 2000s

  18. But l see local people being happy at the arrival of m23 in the city. So why? Another thing they were attacked by Rwanda but they fled to Rwanda. Congo should forget this region because doesn’t help

  19. The civilian are paying the price,that why we need the Pan-African army 30 000 troops well equipped with discipline,,we will have tactic Nuclear weapons because African don't listen ,in this situation i think the m23 won't be there, Rwanda will be safe DRC also

  20. Congolese people are very week go after Rwanda and take your territory who is Rwanda penetrate into their own territory so they will never try such nonsense again
