“Rwanda actually has expansionist tendencies with the main interest being the appropriation of DRC’s minerals”, Félix Tshisekedi
Congolese Head of State Félix Tshisekedi has accused Rwanda of wanting to appropriate minerals from the DRC through its expansionist ambitions. It was during his speech filmed and broadcast on November 4, 2022, on national television.
Felix Tshisekedi reiterated his opinion that the destabilization of the eastern part of the DRC is the work of the land of a thousand hills under cover of the M23.
“Indeed, under the fallacious accusation of FARDC support for the FDLR, Rwanda actually has expansionist inclinations with the main interest of appropriating our minerals and to do this, it is working to destabilize eastern Congo to create a zone of lawlessness in order to satisfy its criminal appetites”, declared Félix Tshisekedi.
The Congolese Head of State also warned “all traitors and other bad apples who serve the interests of the enemy”. They will be exposed to the rigor of the law, having the just punishment that this kind of behavior deserves.
He invited young people to organize themselves “in a vigilance group”, in order to support, accompany and support the defense and security forces in the accomplishment of their mission. Felix Tshisekedi, who called for the unity of his people, also encouraged young people to enlist massively in the Army.
