Contact Us5 Frequently Asked Questions about “Kigali Base Station Site Conflict”
Are Rwanda-backed M23 rebels a 'declaration of war'?
This week, Rwanda-backed M23 rebels occupied Goma, a city in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo, on the border with its tiny but militarily powerful neighbour. The DRC has called it a “ declaration of war ” by Paul Kagame's Rwanda. The prospect of full-blown conflict between the two countries is rising.
What happened to M23 in Rwanda?
Rwanda is still heavily dependent on western backing. The last time M23 occupied Goma, assistance was suspended and Barack Obama, then US president, persuaded Kagame to cool tensions. Within weeks, M23 withdrew and faded as a force. Pressure worked then and it can work again. This is a war that can be ended quickly.
Why has Kagame been emboldened by the Silence of the west?
Kagame has also been emboldened by the silence of the west, which despite occasional protests has turned a blind eye to Rwanda's stealth occupation of eastern Congo — as well as to his repressive rule at home. Europe in particular has stepped up its aid to Rwanda.
Why are Western governments reluctant to criticise Kagame?
Guilt over inaction during the 1994 genocide — in which up to 1mn Tutsis and moderates from the majority Hutu ethnic group were slaughtered by Hutu extremists — has made western governments reluctant to criticise Kagame, whose arrival ended the slaughter.
Is Kagame threatening to cut off Western aid?
In recent days, the US, France, the EU and even the UK — one of Kagame's most permissive backers — have stepped up their rhetoric, demanding Kagame back off. David Lammy, the UK's foreign secretary, has rightly gone further than his predecessors in threatening to cut off western aid. Words, though, need to be followed by actions.
