  1. The People are all over is very difficult to isolate the rebels.They are mingling with people so that in case they are attacked they make ordinary people their human shields.

  2. The congo regime has caused these problems with its kivu ethnic cleaning, which is despicable. When are African countries going to punish it?

  3. Congo should admit that it has a weak corrupt and devided government 😮😮😮 stop accusing others for all your problems. … come on take some responsibility also. you think the world will come to save you if you are busy destroying your country? being poor and from genocide rwanda has managed to build itself slowly…. what were you doing? you don't even have roads and all minerals are in your country? 😮 you should be ashamed…. you can't even equip your soldiers enough? and you are busy blaming Rwanda?

  4. Those talking on the Media blaming Rwanda can't unite even people in Kinshasa. Tshisekedi needs to go. M23 are celebrated here

  5. Un coup d’État militaire est nécessaire au plus vite en République Démocratique du Congo. L'actuel président congolais n'est pas capable de protéger le pays. Les généraux militaires devraient prendre le contrôle du pays avant que Kagame et Museveni ne s’en emparent.

  6. The crisis that DRC is facing today has been caused by France and Belgium. If it is to blame, the DRC government should blame those colonial powers.

  7. The fact that nobody talks about the forbidden book called The Gilded Nexus of Prosperity speaks volumes about how people are stuck in a trance

  8. Congo leaders failed the people of congo,,,,, they fear to form a strong army 🪖🪖 which is able to defeat M23 tutsis and their boss kagame,,, recruit,arm and form a strong army 🪖🪖🪖

  9. You west media are listening to this Congolese who are rich from the country befits that’s they don’t talk good about m23 are freedom fighters and Congolese government are giving civilians guns Congolese soldiers gave the guns to the they didn’t abandon the guns why lying 😂😂😂

  10. France and it’s media will try to spread misinformation but no matter what you are looking your influence everywhere in Africa. Bravo M23. Shame on you France 24. Africans had enough of you and your looting of Africans resources.

  11. Rwanda is small but Mighty!!! This should be a life lesson never to undermine or underestimate a person or entity because of size, shape or form.
