🔹You can denounce these conflicts, of course, but stick to what you know for sure. Otherwise, your behavior as an activist could potentially obscure the situations you claim to be concerned with by constantly giving power to Western entities such as mainstream NGOs and UN-led initiatives.

This reveals that some of you are not taking "deconstruction" seriously.
Lasting solutions to these conflicts must come from local populations, institutions and grassroots organisations, or perhaps regional initiatives.

🔹You can’t absolve African countries and their leaders of all responsibility. I'll say it again: that's racist. You criticize the paternalism towards non-white populations in your own country, yet you reproduce it when it comes to Africa: seeing invisible hands everywhere and no local agency.

🔹I'm not saying this out of the blue. I am a citizen of an African country and have chosen to take responsibility by acting for peace and against genocide ideology. The resistance started with us. For our people, and through our local, organic initiatives.

that external forces are involved, and that there are local responsibilities and agendas at the core of the situation.

🔹Yes, all armed conflicts are financed, and they all have a global impact to a greater or lesser extent. You don't have to subscribe to conspiracy theories to understand that. We can accept two truths at the same time:

you silence the voices and solutions that actually have legitimacy. You are reinforcing the tools and ideologies of recolonization.

🔹No long-term solution can come from anywhere other than the entities, populations and grassroots organisations that originate from the place where the war is happening. By playing saviors and shouting for attention,

such as Human Rights Watch and the United Nations — are best suited to analyzing and resolving the situation, even though they risk exacerbating the war.

This paves the way for external intervention as you portray 'locals' as powerless and useless.

🔹When observing an African conflict, it is wrong to see only external forces at work. When you view the people actually involved as irresponsible and incapable, you automatically suggest that the structures of neocolonialism — which are deeply intertwined with the interests of Western powers

Despite the countless casualties and widespread destruction, these men have vowed not to concede anything. THEY are the problem.

🔹The Western activist narrative (as well as that of mentally colonized citizens and diaspora communities) absolves the two sudanese leaders waging a fratricidal war of all responsibility.

And it speaks to how little you understand about what's happening between Rwanda and Congo right now. It's like a sad sad pattern…

De plus, répétons le : ils ne sont PLUS reconnaissables en tant qu’entité « FDLR » distincte, car ils sont entrés en collusion/ fusion avec des pans entiers de la société civile et militaire congolaise. 3/3

Dans le même temps chacun sait que les FDLR - ayant déplacé nourri et infusé la haine génocidaire depuis 94 - ne sont pas exactement le genre d’entité que l’on « incite » à déposer les armes. 2/3

Oui oui, allez bonne journée 👋🏽

& de ses officiels au cœur du débat & je ne veux pas que cela dérive encore - ici sur mon fil - sur les préjugés anti-Tutsi, anti Rwanda. Le problème sont ces élites coloniales (telles décrites par Fanon) voleuse & aux valeurs inexistantes. Et Tshisekedi a bien porté cela à un tout autre niveau !

La question reste à côté et offensante je suis désolée. On passe notre temps à se défendre en tant que rwandais, tandis que nous vivons dans un des États les moins corrompus au monde. Est-ce que le Rwanda est parfait et hors de critique ? Non, mais là j’insiste pour placer le problème du Congo…
October 24, 2025 at 5:07 PM
et que vous ne possédez pas le début des connaissances nécessaires pour appréhender nos problématiques régionales.
October 24, 2025 at 4:58 PM
Vrai response : il s’agit d’une mauvaise question, servant uniquement à valider vos biais en 5 minutes parce-que vous ne pouvez entendre un autre narratif que celui ancré dans les consciences collectives depuis la colonisation,
