Criminal Paul Kagame’s Public Confession of RDF Presence in the DRC.
On July 4, 2025, before a carefully selected audience of regime loyalists, Rwanda’s diplomatic corps, and millions of oppressed Rwandans glued to state-controlled television, Criminal Paul Kagame made a chilling confession. In a bizarre twist of arrogance and denial, the bloodthirsty dictator finally admitted that his forces were behind the capture of Goma, Bukavu, and other parts of eastern DRC, a truth he and his regime have denied since November 2021.
For years, Rwanda’s strongman repeatedly claimed his country had no presence in Congo. Yet, in this televised display of bravado, Kagame blatantly contradicted his own narrative, boasting before a docile audience of conquests his government has long refuted. This was not just an admission, it was an insult to the victims of a decades-long war of aggression and plunder. Since 1996, Kagame’s direct and proxy wars in the DRC have caused the deaths of more than 12 million Congolese, an unhealed scar on Africa’s conscience.
To understand the depth of Kagame’s ruthlessness, one need only recall the cold-blooded elimination of his personal physician, Dr Emmanuel Gasakure, on February 25, 2015. Dr Gasakure, once entrusted with the dictator’s health, knew too much. His fate was sealed not in a courtroom, but through a direct order from Kagame himself. The ex*****on order was relayed by infamous death merchant Major General Jack Nziza to then Colonel, now Brigadier General, Franco Rutagengwa, known by his sinister alias “Mapuwa.” Dr Gasakure was gunned down under the guise of a security incident, but all Rwandans can confirm it was a calculated silencing, typical of Kagame’s method of disposing of those who come too close to his secrets.
This is the core of Kagame’s blood-soaked rule, where loyalty is expendable, and knowledge is a death sentence. Under his regime, even the most elite insiders, from intellectuals to top military personnel, have vanished, been imprisoned, or eliminated outright. The message is clear: no one is safe when Kagame’s dark secrets are at risk of exposure.
His regime thrives on fear, silence, and deception. The July 4, 2025, speech was not just a show of dominance, it was a masterclass in hypocrisy. A man who has ruled with an iron fist, silenced dissent, and destroyed lives now claims ownership of invasions he once vehemently denied. His obsession with the DRC is not merely strategic, it is pathological. The Congolese people, already battered by conflict and exploitation, continue to suffer under a campaign of violence driven by Kagame’s insatiable thirst for power and control.
In any just society, such admissions would trigger international outrage, sanctions, and justice. But in Kagame’s Rwanda, propaganda masks horror, and applause follows confessions of war crimes. As the world watches, one thing remains certain, so long as Kagame remains unchecked, truth, justice, and peace will continue to bleed in both Rwanda and the DRC.
