Rwanda’s Foreign Minister and Government Spokesperson has (Wednesday) expressed outrage at continued targeting of Rwandans in the DRC following the detention and torture of four Rwandans at Camp Katindo, a Congolese army facility.
Minister Louise Mushikiwabo said, “This is an extremely serious incident – we have confirmation that one of the tortured Rwandans has died. We have asked the Government of the DRC to ensure that the mistreatment of Rwandan citizens stops immediately”
Minister Mushikiwabo said that Rwanda had brought this case to the urgent attention of the Joint Verification Team and warned against the resurgence of hate speech.
“We have learned before that hate speech has consequences; that reckless political rhetoric costs lives. It is something our region must not be forced to endure again”
