I Wonder How Much Russia Has A Hand In Instigating The Attacks On Western Embassies In Kinshasa.

Video: French Embassy being attacked in Kinshasa, DRC. The French seem to get it a lot in Africa these days.

It is more likely than not that Moscow is behind these attacks on any Western embassies in Kinshasa in some way or another.

GOMA, Democratic Republic of Congo, Jan 28 (Reuters) – Rebels seized the airport of east Congo’s largest city Goma on Tuesday, potentially cutting off the main route for aid to reach hundreds of thousands of displaced people, after capturing the city in an offensive that left dead bodies lying in the streets.

M23 fighters marched into Goma on Monday in the worst escalation since 2012 of a three-decade conflict rooted in the long fallout from the Rwandan genocide and the struggle for control of Congo’s abundant mineral resources.

Germany is sending Rwanda and President Kagame a very loud and clear message.

Alternance cd — (Translation) War of aggression: Rwanda sanctioned by Germany

This is one of the first real sanctions taken against Rwanda since the start of its aggression in the Democratic Republic of Congo by its army and its M23 auxiliaries. Germany announced this Tuesday, January 28, 2025, the suspension of discussions planned with Kigali on development aid.

The spokesman for the German Ministry of Economic Cooperation has indicated that the discussions scheduled with Rwanda for next February, for development aid, are suspended. The reason given: ” the current escalation “, which cannot allow for ” business as usual”, according to AFP.

Germany is making the resumption of talks conditional on the withdrawal of Rwandan forces and their M23 allies from eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.
