If anyone needs advice on stopping conflict, it is Congo, not Rwanda

When the former Rwanda government army (Ex-FAR) and Interahamwe militia, (who spearheaded the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi that claimed over a million lives) were defeated and fled to Congo, they regrouped under several names to camouflage their genocidal credentials.

When the former Rwanda government army (Ex-FAR) and Interahamwe militia, (who spearheaded the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi that claimed over a million lives) were defeated and fled to Congo, they regrouped under several names to camouflage their genocidal credentials.They created an organization known as Rally for the Return of the Republic (RDR; they later replaced the word "republic” with Refugees to sound more legitimate), it later morphed into Liberation Army of Rwanda (ALIR).When ALIR was blacklisted as a terrorist organization by the US after it killed American tourists, they again changed names to become Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR), but their ideology remains the same to date.The Tanzanian President should be aware of this, thus shocking that he could urge Rwanda to sit down and negotiate with known terrorists.When a neighbour deliberately closes his eyes to your problems and instead scoffs at your attempts to solve them, the best solution is to ignore them.The issue here is not Rwanda but Congo, which happens to be in bed with the FDLR. Negotiating with terrorists is not an option and anyone suggesting otherwise should be ignored. If anyone needs advice to solve their problems, it is Congo, not Rwanda or Uganda.
