The minister is right to say that there are two sides to each story. What is also true is the fact that of all the DRC's neighboring countries, Rwanda is the only one repeatedly accused of meddling into that country's internal affairs. Why is that? Are you, Ms. Minister, suggesting that everyone else is against Rwanda? The fact is that the CNDP enjoyed tremendous support from your country. Nkundabatware is "in house arrest" in Rwanda. If he is a Congolese subject, why don't you send him back to his country to face justice there? Your country's aggressive behavior towards Congo needs to stop. After all that country has been nothing but hospitable and welcoming to your people for years. Is that how you repay hospitality? Sure the DRC is a failed state. But leave it alone so it can figure out how to solve its problems without your country interfering into its business.
Nice cartoon, but the flag on the President Kagame's necktie is wrong.
