PLO Lumumba: Congo vs Rwanda. Congo war. World on Fire ep5. 

As a young African person i must admit that Mr Lumumba ignites a passion within my guts... I'd listen to him for hours while feeling a sense of obligation to my continent.

Africa will never be free until Congo is free !!!!!

Congo peoples wake up as Nigeri have wake up and protect their resources ✊🏾

I just have a question to PLO Lumumba on his conclusion. If really what he says it true. Why was Bisengimana, a Munyamulenge, a chef of cabinet of President Mobutu if Banyamulenge were not recognized as Congolese? Why is it only in 1990s that this issue of rwandophones arised in the DR Congo and not before? Why is it that these rwandophones still occupy high position posts in all sectors in the Congolese gouvernement/institutions if they are not recognized as congolesed? I am a little bit disappointed by the PLO Lumumba's view on this matter. He should do more research if he really want to help. The issue of banyamulenge is just a scapegoat to destabilize the DR Congo. Because Banyamulenge lived in Congo in peace until the balcanization plan of the DR Congo was placed on table for its execution, it was then the Banyamulenge were placed at stake to ignite this evil plan. The balcanization plan failed and has turned into ethnic conflict as consequences. Stop all illigal transit and trafficking of minerals through neighbouring countries and the conflict will cease by its own. You should know that DRC has many tribes and all are minorities and should be treated equally and without favoritisme. Whatsoever these people are talking about the DR Congo should know that balcanization of DR Congo is the source of this instability. As once achieved, DR CONGO will bleed even more. Africans open your eyes and do not shop misleading information so cheap just to please some individuals 😢

With all my respect to PLO 's thoughts on Africa, I would suggest going back and revisiting his books/notes and doing the fact-checking when it comes to Congo 🇨🇩 's situation. Yes the borders were inherited from the colonials, but think of why the conflicts always involve one ethnic group that is Tutsi when we know that North Kivu has a large population of Hutus of Rwandophone, South Kivu has a large population of Bashi that are present mainly in DRC and in Rwanda of course not large population like in DRC. In addition, we have an ethnic group called Bavila Burundophone, that lives in both Burundi and DRC, just to ask you a question: Why always only one community involved in uprising since 1996? Prof PLO the truth is that Rwandan speaking community have lived peaceful in DRC of course some minor ethnic tensions never missed, but the latter never involved a large scale blood shed as the 1996 when Rwanda and Uganda invaded DRC under the umbrella of AFDL under the pretext of protecting the Banyamulenge population that were facing a genocide threat. This war ended up toppling Mobutu regime and installed a new regime of Mzee Desire Kabila who was their face value in the eyes of every Congolese and foreigners until 1998 when President Kabila decided to send them back to their countries. Immediately a new rebel group was formed under the name of RCD fully supported by Rwanda. A few years they changed the name into CNDP a Tusti rebel group under Kagame's command a few years later after some misunderstanding between Tutsi that were tired of war and others that wanted to keep fighting the government then a new movement under the name of M23!! All these groups were fully sponsored by Rwanda and now in 2024 a highly respected Professor like PLO is blaming the government of Congo to be the source of the conflict!! President Kagame is the mastermind of violence in the region since 1990 when they invaded Rwanda with hope of expanding their ruthless Tisti empire to DRC regardless of the human suffering. Prof PLO remember that you always talk about panafricanism, if you claim to be one then you need to be one for real. Speaking the truth, honest opinions and virtuous actions that is what I think will deliver Africans from their self created economic, social and political backwardness!

With all due respect to professor Lumumba, a person that I have always admired through his multiple speeches in connection with Africa/Pan Africanism, I feel let down that there is no mention of the millions of people that have been killed and especially the manner in which people being killed. There have been more than 7 millions or more people that have been killed and almost 3.5 millions of people who have left their homes and livelihood. They now live in refugees camps away from their natural homes. And what is happening is that their lands are being taken away from them and allowed to be occupied by the Rwanda army. And of course it is all about the minerals. So for the professor not to mention or show concerns about lives that are being wasted for economical gains, professor is only talking about the Congo government to recognise les banyamulenge as Congolese as if those millions of people who are dying mean nothing. I am shocked 😲.

PLO Lumumba, I really like and appreciate your eloquence and as a young African who is also aware, I take you for a source of inspiration but for the history of my country, the DRC, you missed the point and you gave me the impression of believing that you too are like the remains who begin to be used by Westerners, the war in the East of the DRC has long since ceased to be an ethical war,, it has become for decades an opportunity for multinationals, politicians and Westerners continue to plunder and enrich themselves from natural and mineral resources. how can you make us understand today that Rwanda is considered a coltan producing and exporting country? Westerners and many international mining organizations use Kagame as a bridge to continue to loot the DRC, the M23 group is a Rwandan armed group supported by the Kagame regime to constantly continue to regenerate the war in the East of the DRC and you should know that we Congolese are fed up of negotiations with the Rwandans which lead to absolutely nothing, the only solution is to also attack Rwanda which is a visible enemy for us. professor with all due respect, I advise you to carefully review your sources of information.

I can listen him all day speaking about Africa... He is just the best

P. O Lumumba has remained in the history. If the actual war in East of Congo is Congolese affair... How do you explain the Rwanda Defense Forces soldiers arrested deep in the Congo fighting along the so cald M23? Where in this world did you see a small rebel group have missiles to attack jet fighter and latest machine guns? I will have to remind the opinion that those wipons are only sold to states.. Not to individuals or a group of people

Just by listing to him i understand which side is rolling with. A so called wise man... It's sad to see how much energy everyone is using trying to make people understand they know Congo better than ourselves

SIR, YOU ARE THE BEACON OF LIGHT FOR OUR CONTINENT OF AFRICA. MAY GOD CONTINUE TO STRENGHTEN YOU AND ALL YOUR EFFORTS!

Thank you Sir Prof- LUMUMBA. The most Afirican Son of all generations to learn from you.

The prof should explain why the same community has problems with all countries in the region? Starting with their own homeland?

Prof hasn't enough informations about what's realy happening... No one deniers congolese nationality to congolese tutsis. Do you know thé tutsis are the ones with thé highest number if army generals in thé DRC? Thé problem in eastern Congo is more economic than everithing else

I wanted to listen until the part where he speaks about the Banyamurenge, and I got my answer. I would like to advise Prof. Lumumba to read the book by Charles Onana called Holocaust in Congo which contradicts his point in the Banyamurenge. Even the book from Kwame Kuruma contradicts his notion that Banyamurenge are Congolese. It is well documented that they were brought into the DRC to from Rwanda to give rise to the issues we are currently facing. It’s a shame that falsehoods are what prevail on the net.

PLO Lumumba you don't deserve to bear the name of Lumumba who fought and died for the freedom of Congo. From now on, this name will be a curse over your life. That name shall fight you till you respect the righteous fight of Congolese peoples.

Wrong about tribes

Congo has 450 ethnic groups, why would they have a problem with one of those groups? And who is kagame that thinks he can invade a sovereign nation to come and help one of those groups? Guys Congolese know well that the problem is not M23 or kagame, the problem are those Europeans and US that want to take our minerals. M23 and kagame are being used. As Africans we should understand that there will never be a better Africa without a strong Congo 🇨🇩. Congo is the heart of Africa!

Mr Lumumba your statement is partially correct. Can you explain to people the connection between genocide in Rwanda and 10 million people killed in Congo since 1997? Can you contradict the many UN reports on Rwandan involvement in the cricis...You are not welcome informed exactly as Mwalimu Nyerere, peace to his soul...

Problems of congo is FDLR interahamwe , why congo refuse to send them in rwanda?

The whole east of Congo has never been at ease with Congos position, the hate congo receives, is just to outshine Congolese, Congolese are people with self confidence either in Much or less, now comes the puppets role, a real catastrophe Tht could lead to congo to be broken in pieces. But the folks in tht parts of the countrie are the toughest of that nation coz they never given up on fighting the invasion of the western puppets, long live one big congo

It'll be incredible if you all can have the friends of the congo. Speak on like the situation of the Congo, you know PO.L lumumba is incredible. I'm really speaking Friends of the Congo should be brought into the space as well.

Prof PLO hasn’t understood the M23, Mr PLO track this Movement back from AFDL you will understand that it working for the western interests. Tutsi is just an Alibi

Mr. Lumumba, there are days I'm scared our common history has been erased. I am happy to finally hear someone talking sense and putting the issues back into their original context. But now Mr. Lumumba, how long will it take before everyone forgets...Education levels in Congo and West Congo are plunging and we might be at the loosing end. Or we take the approach Europe took, we refuse the borders as they are and enforce standards on good governance, human rights such as access to water, education (and the infrastructures that go with it). We need to first trade with ourselves, before exporting goods.

Tshilombo didn't go to school, he can't understand scientifically

I have much respect for Prof Lumumba but I feel like he does not have all the resources necessary to talk about the conflict in Eastern Congo. he has to talk about the M23 agenda, and explain why Kagame is backing M23 which happen to be a Congolese problem, also the FDLR issue, when and why the Banyamulenge crisis started. Because we've been living in peace until the Kagame regime got in power. yet, the banyamulenge are the government and serving in the Congolese Defense Force.

Lumumba is very wise man and strong panafricanist👌, but congolese are busy inviting a French citizen ONANA to come and teach them their history. We need more Lumumba who stand for African not African who are here for their European masters.

PLO Lumumba is a peacemaker with his words as we should all humble ourselves to the history of the Congo, and how the conflict has escalated thus far. Give Thanks

Talking will not help PLO go fight if you care so much. Real fighters go to fight, ppl should refuse to listen to these ignorants who think they know better than the ppl who are in the front line. Haiti didn’t get independence from sitting 🪑 and making videos real African heroes are fighters.

Thank you very much Lumumba. I was waiting for you to talk about this topic. Our pan-African media should come here and learn. It always pains me to see African media falling into the trap of making this conflict an external conflict (put everything on Kagame) due to lack of information on the history of Congo, Rwanda and Burundi.

Thank you, Professor Lumumba, the wiseman and the voice of Afrika. May The LORD GOD ALMIGHTY grant you more graces and protect you. I watch this video about the problem of Congo and what is happening in the eastern part of Congo. Your contribution in that problem as a son of Afrika is sufficient for the end of the conflict in Congo(D.R.C). Many African countries have almost the same problem, but how to end all these problems that are ruining our continent, because only the problem of Congo is the obstacle for the developpement of many countries in Afrika. Therefore, let's find the final solution for Congo and the whole Afrika, so that the sons and daughters of this Continent, we will live in peace and harmony amongst us, and enjoy all the blessings GOD gave us. In my point of view, I hope the unity of Afrika will be the beginning of the solution for our problems in the continent, and the end of all these atrocities in Afrika. One sovereign ideology for all afrikans. We are One, and Love is our culture. A consciousness education of Afrika must be taught all over the continent. Leaders must have Pan-Africanistes spirit, not to seek only the interest of one country, but all the leaders must have in theirs minds that all the sons and daughters of this Continent are also his people, that he must also love them and take care of them. We must know, how to value ourselves and value others. We must love who we are and love our mother land Afrika.

Thank you for acknowledging the truth, of the situation.❤

Congo wake up !

Plo lumumba is western pupet same as kagame

Thank you very much sir

This man is illumination but we aren't good enough to follow his advices

I have been always an admirer of prof Lumumba but I must admit I am quite disappointed this time of his stance on the Congolese conflict. Him and Thabo mbeki have the Rwandan - kagame's narrative. There is no tribe called banyamulenge in condo's archives. Because of those borders he makes mention, we have bemba people in Zambia and congo; we have kongo in Brazzaville and Angola so forth. None of these countries invade congo on the pretense of protecting bemba or kongo. So why does kagame invade congo pretending to protect a tutsi manority ? It's false pretense. He is invading congo for its minerals. And it's sad to see prof lumumba and comerade mbeki buy into kagame's narrative

This guy doesn’t know the first thing about the conflict in Congo. Isn’t it funny how everyone that speaks on the issue of Congo just so happen to be foreigners and not actually Congolese pretending to know the situation better than the Congolese themselves?

Congolese government should build citys in eastern Congo coz that is where the government recourses are. The government should move that side to protect their recourses

It's unfortunate that you don't understand that Kagame is standing there for westerners

other congolese should stop killing and harassing the Banyamulenge and other rwandan speaking in EDRC. they cannot send them in other countries, they either accept them or leave them with their original land but cannot say go away, how? give them their land and change borders then or accept them and protect them as congolese too

Thank you so much, I love the way you interpret History, Congo should sit and resolve the internal conflict instead of always blaming it's neighbors.❤

Sr, can you imagine the president Tshisekedi came to Angola to represent drc ,the leader of m23 came also WHICH IS ‽???.no body refused the existence of other people in congo,.How many dialogues since ...in 2002 for instance at sun-city ...peace and reconciliation and mixing....they are still coming for mixing, this time its a big NOÒOOOOO.

Good morning Professor, PLO Lumumba, please explain to us why Rwuanda is now the number 1 exporter of coltan, even though Rwanda does not have these minerals?

many ethnies in Congo are on both sides of all the 9 borders that Congo has with all its neighboring countries.....the question to ask is why there are only problems with banyamulenge? The Congolese president has said many times these are Congolese....but why there is only a problem with Rwandese-speaking population? the problem is minerals .....and we all know how important strategic minerals are to the ever-evolving information technology and the green energy-seeking world....if there were no minerals there would be no banyamulenge problem it is as simple as that....everything else is just beating around the bushes...

Good presentation by PLO Lumumba!!

Thank you Prof Lumbumba. But go back to check the government of Congo 🇨🇩 you will find that those people have high positions. Do the research of Jams Kabarebe, Bosco Ntaganda, Laurent Nkubda Batware,….. where are they now and why? If they are not Rwandan puppets. I am sorry Sir.

You are biased OR mistaken on your analysis with reference to alleging that the government of DRC is maligning M23 as non Congolese. Why don't you make wider research other than relying on hearsays. Your personality shouldn't be compromised by selfish politicians dear professor.

Mr Lumumba, I don't trust you anymore, keep ignoring the truth na tumeshajua unamfania nani kazi ya kuuza africa halafu unajifanya unajua kuongea! Good luck

Why the same tribes or ethnicity group has the same problem in Burundi,Rwanda, RDC, and even in others place they settle,?????

The University of PLO Lumumba. We learn a lot here

Thanks Prof for explaining the Congo problem. As long as the Congolese Rwandophones are denied their citizenship rights and the DRC continues its collaboration with genocidal groups, peace in DRC will remain elusive. Also, the Congolese government is incapable of ensuring security for the vast territory of DRC.

None of these allegations regarding Congo is true. People talk about the things they don't have any knowledge. Let congolese talk about Congo because they know better...

Plo Lumumba is always on point. He's my mentor but never mentions Russia 🇷🇺 as one of the parasites in Africa. West , Chinese, America but should include Russians.

On behalf of all Congolese and the blood of millions of Congolese who have been killed we take back the name of Lumumba, this guy doesn't deserve to be called Lumumba.

I didn’t hear what he is saying but I read comments.what I know about Lumumba is that he is doing kagame his propaganda. 12 million Congolese died,I didn’t hear anything from Lumumba.for him all Congolese died because of kagame it’s like animals. We Congolese we stand now for our freedom now you open your mouth and speak rubbish?. We will continue fighting four our freedom and you know what we will enter in Rwanda and put new president there. Continue speaking and doing your propaganda for Rwanda but one day you will see what will happen in Rwanda. Your HIMA EPURE will never succeed in Drc congo. Our God he is there for us

Much respect for professor Lumumba, his oratory skills and his knowledge of history make it pleasant to listen to. But I must disagree with his reading on what's happening in the Eastern DRC. There has been well documented UN reports and books bringing forward proofs on all that Rwanda has been doing in DRC for almost 25 years. The M23 is simply a proxy used by the Führer of Kigali. It's not about Hutus and Tutsis of the Congo, it's about plans of balkanizing the Congo for its resources, no wonder why Rwanda is the number 1 exporter of Coltan despite not having much of it in its land. Here are two books for those who really wanna know more about what's happening: "Holocauste au Congo": L'Omerta de la communauté internationale (French) by Charls Onana and "Do Not Disturb": The Story of a Political Murder and an African Regime Gone Bad by Michela.

Prof. Lumumba, with all due respect, DRC can handle all its problems, but you know very well what is preventing Congo from defending itself effectively against all these rebels. M23 are Rwandan soldiers who are just stealing natural resources by killing innocent civilians!

"Anyone who supports a murderer or killer becomes an accomplice to their actions. The world is harmed not only by those who commit wrongful acts but also by those who witness wrongdoing and remain silent, failing to take action and hypocritically defending bad deeds."

This so called PLO Lumumba has been sold out, unfortunately 😰😰🙆🏿‍♂️🙆🏿‍♂️

YOU ARE LIVING VERY WELL WITH M23 MONEY IN KENYA. YOU SEEM TO BE VERY CONFORTABLE PAUL KAGAME! An agreement was signed in SUN CITY , ask the TUTSIS why they still have guns?

Until they get a serious honest leader who’s not corrupted there will not be peace in the Congo , and it’s about time the people wake up and take control of their country and resources.and it’s time for Africa to be united and stop the fighting against each other.

Full respect

Here we go again with incredible truth distortion done by dishonest and corrupt mouth-pieces of Kagame PLO Lumumba and Thabo Mbeki!

Wrong assessment. You are all wrong. Sorry to tell you that professor. Go do your homework. In the beginning of the DRC congo, Stanley who dealt with chiefs of lands in RDC put together 450 tribes to create the DRC as a nation. Meaning there is no tribe on the RDC soil without land. Tutsi population were brought to the RDC thru specific immigration programs organized by Belgians to build infrastructure in katanga, north kivu and every where else. Also some came to DRC as refugees because they were running away from the fight against Hutu in Rwanda. In conclusion, they can't never claim land in the DRC since the come from a foreign country some as refugees and other as foreigner workers. Also, you need to make the difference between seeking for nationality and owning land by ancestors in a country, which can never happen in kenya where you are from (where I also lived) Somali who can there since decades became kenyans by process without owning lands by ancestors... That's how you have to approach the DRC issues with those comers. The war in Congo is purely economical. You cant impose trade to a sovereign country just because you have army groups the congolese need to defend their independence to death. Your speech is very subjective when you talk about creating trade environment. This need to be done in respect of international rules and interest of the sovereign country that leads this process. The biggest issue with the DRC is a poor leadership, a weak security and army forces and corruption to address definitely these matters. Great leadership will fix this administration problem and will strengthen the immigration process for everyone at once. For that, congolese don't need foreigners to do so because of the sovereignty and the dignity coming out of this process. They will figure it out...they just need to find their "leader". Whatever you will try that will not be aligned with what I explained above , will never bring sustainable peace. I know this country better than you, I know how people think in their deepest hearts... 😊 You don't really know how determined and motivated these congolese dudes are to end up this situation in their advantage. Stay alive , you will learn more from them😅.

It's disheartening to see that many Congolese are trapped in the narrow-minded belief that neighboring countries, particularly Rwanda, are solely interested in exploiting their mineral resources. This assumption not only cheapens the perception of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) on the global stage but also cripples the ability of Congolese to engage in objective debate. The reality is that neighbors like Rwanda are acutely aware that a peaceful and stable DRC offers far more lucrative opportunities in sectors beyond mining, such as agriculture, renewable energy, and tourism. The constant suspicion of mineral theft blinds the Congolese to the fact that their neighbors are actually losing more from a war-torn DRC than they could ever gain. It's time for the Congolese to abandon this outdated mindset and recognize that their neighbors have no interest in perpetuating conflict.

I beg to differ with the professor on his insight. Charles Onana explained it well in his book Holocauste au Congo: L'Omerta de la communauté internationale. The issue is the plundering of DRC mineral and balcanization of the Congo. The truth of the matter is that they world does not want a strong Congo because counties like Rwandan will fall into obsolescence.

Prof with all respects don't support rwandese, it's better to keep quiet than to talk lies. We know you Kenyan supporting M23. But you must know that they will be defeated.. tshisekedi is not kabila. This war will end in Rwanda

Thank you Proffessor, you are right, Tchisekedi should learn the right history from you🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Be blessed 🙏 for everything.... Africa 🌍 we don't need dictator president anymore.... Are still and are working only for NATO not for Africains people 🔥....

Free all African countries And give them peace ✌🏽 and enjoying African richest ✌🏽🪐

Purely honest! If the Kinshasha regime continues to sideline Banyalenga as Congolese and fail to address the Intarahamwe and ADF menaces, a Munyamulenga will become President in DRC and then DR Congo will become peaceful forever.

There is a reality that the Government of DRC and a big portion of its population refused to accept: that there is a population with Rwandan culture and heritage and Congolese nationality. This reality will not disappear any time soon. In Rwanda we have accepted long time ago that these people are not part of our country anymore since they become part of congo due to colonial deeds, but we recognize and embrace their entitlement to our shared culture even if they belong to another nation. It is now up to Congo to accept their entitlement to all the benefits of being a congolese national, and the sooner the better.

Mr Lumumba, you need to know that there was any problem before Kagame took power. The problem of boundary never existed between Rwanda and DRC. Kagame is working for western nations to exploit the Congolese resources.

Words of wisdom from a sage soul

This Man Is Incredible!! I’ve been Binge watching all the Videos i can find.. The Professor’s Grasps and Tales of History is transcendent.. I Applaud You Professor Lumumba .. Guyana Awaits your Presence … 🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾

Hi Prof and thanks for the speech. However the so called Benyamulenge were not in Congo before independence, they came after as refugees and Mobutu wanted to give them citizenship but the government refused saying that citizenships cannot be given to a community, it's an individual and personal issue and the parlement blocked that decision. But Prof, Congo has nine countries bordering it, and we have tribus from Angola, Congo Brazzaville, Zambia etc living in Congo peacefully but why these Tutsis from Rwanda have problem to integrate? If there's a problem between Congolese who originated from Zambia, you will never see a Zambian president intervening, but every time when Tutsis have problem in Congo, it becomes an issue of Paul Kagame?????. If M23 is a Congolese movement, why in all their meetings Kagame goes there? Kagame is the one entertaining the majority of armed groups in Congo, just to illegally access the minerals. Thanks Prof. Dr Leon Katambwe

Greetings one African family, this is one of the hot beds on the continent, a land that can produce for the entire motherland and more, but greed and disunity among ourselves as given rise to the foreign powers for century's and we're buck shuffling to what must and has to be done before it's too late. It's a big nation and it's gonna take some big hearts to solve this mess down there. We feel your struggles and anguish for much too long and the younger ones are slipping out of our hands. If Africa is free, the world would be free and that's the fight we have in front of us

What I foresee,if Banyamulenge will be recognized as Congolese, automatically eastern CONGO will be part of Rwanda country as the Banyamulenge will be fully cooperating with Rwanda rather than Congo state.If Congo state will react against this,Banyamulenge will claim to have their province say eastern CONGO province and if will be successful,the province will request to unite with Rwanda and Rwanda will be ready for this.Automtically Rwanda will be widen and hence her achievement.

Sorry Professor you were very poorly informed about the situation in Eastern Congo. M23 are Rwandan military fighters who come to Congo rapping women and young girls, killing innocent civilians and stealing minerals to line up the pockets of Kagame…. If they were true Congolese, even they had a reason to do so, they could not do what they are doing to their own brothers and sisters.

Good commentary by Prof Lumumba, but one fundamental and root cause of the Eastern DRC problems is the presence and accommodation of FDRL by the government of Congo. This group is committed to the annihilation of Tutsis in DRC. Unless FDRL is disarmed and repatriated to Rwanda, peace will never come to DRC

Yes I am civil and respectful a resolution will be after you understand the difference between tusti and Bantu

President Tshisekedi has already proposed to M23 (made of rwandophones) to disarm and regain civilian life as citizens. They do not accept that. Instead, they continue to receive weapons from outsiders including Rwanda to fight. Why? if a citizen or resident takes up weapons against his country in order to make a political request, this is called terrorism.

Prof.Lumumba , what you said about Congo and Rwanda ist wrong . Tutsi and Hutu tribes are only in Rwanda and Burundi .we congoleses , we know our history.Tutsi came to Congo as refugees and some of them came to work in the mining.there is no tribe named Banyamulenge.Mulenge is mountain : Banyamulenge means; children of mountain Mulenge so it is fake name .the problem in the region is Kagame ,once Kagame dead ,this problem will be over.Tutsi and Hutu are not congoleses, we will fight for our land till you kill us all.what you said is big lie from Kagame.we know the history of congo ,you cann never change it at all.

Thank you Prof. But I expected at least delve into the nitty gritty of Kagame and Museveni's involvement in arming M23 and escalating the war in the Kivu province.

This is excellent and important content and I’m very grateful for it. I do however think it would be better if the creators included the questions asked for a fuller and a more comprehensive understanding of Prof Lumumba’s answers. Lungisani Hlongwa from South Africa. Thank you.

Mr lumumba the m23 will never join the Congolese army the are Rwandan the must go back to Rwandan

Mwalimu PLO thanks a lot for this history class ##tutsilives matter

M23 are not Congolese. You can check

Pour aider à mieux comprendre la complexité du problème congo-ruanda, il est très important de donner l'histoire du Ruanda depuis 1885.

The problem is not the Tutsi Congolaise but the massive presence of Kagame army massacring the local population

As you said that Tutsis nilotic ethics at the East of DRCongo are Congolese why are they working for Paul Kagame?

Prof. Lumumba thanks for being a true Pan-Africanist ,honest and integrity on the root cause of the wars in the Eastern DR Congo. DR Congo should not marginalirise and discriminate against it's people , M23 are Kinyarwanda speaking Tutsi Congolese freedom fighters, with discrimination and tribalism DR Congo will never have peace and it will always fight loosing wars. First blame the colonists who demarcated boarders, if the DR Congo doesn't want to accept them as it's people ,it should chase them together with their land. It seems some people are just haters, jealous and against the rapid and success development taking place in Rwanda as a country.

Time for Congolese to stop blaming others for their own failures. Fix the leadership which is a disaster, stop corruption to attract investment. Good immigration systems and public services could have fixed most of these problems.

YOU GOT IT WRONG when it's about CONGO. You are talking like the TUTSI problem started in CONGO! WHY WAS THERE A GENOCIDE IN RWANDA in which NO CONGOLESE took part!!

Please stop using Lumumba's name to make yourself useful. You know nothing about the Congo, so focus on your Malawi instead of talking garbage about our country. Saying that the Banyamulenge and the M23 are Congolese shows that you work for the enemies of the Congo.

Mr Lumumba with all respect I’m Congolese of east of Congo who speak kinyarwanda and I’m Congolese we don’t have any problem with Congolese government stop breaking our hearts because we lost a lot of our people because of Rwanda we Congolese we treated you as as Paul Kagame who killed 13.000.000 of Congolese our ❤ is bleeding now because of your massage Ms Lumumba..Rwandan army cross the border of my Country call the self M 23 and killing our people you are here supporting them we treat you lake them after we lose all our people need to stop now because you don’t know the real story for what is going on in east of Congo because I’m speak kinyarwanda but I’m Congolese you need to tell Rwanda to stop come to Congo and comity the massacre of people who speak kinyarwanda in DRC because we had enough of you people support M23 and we say of dialogue between paul Kagame and our president. We are not allow anybody who come to my country and call themselves CONGOLESE. By force way you don’t talk about 13.000.000 of Congolese who killed by Paul Kagame and M23 way? You sitting down here talking nonsense about my Country.

Huyu ni lumumba ninae mjua ama mume edit video? More than 15million people died in DRC alafu anasema eti m23 niwatutsi wanao pigania haki yao wakati ndani ya gvrmt ya congo wako ndani, walifukuzwa nanani? Now i understand why Africa we have problems,

I think the professor's team should work alot on research to provide much information about Rwandese in congo, there is no tutsi people or tribe in congo land, the so called Banyamulenge are not Congolese, because we have names of 450 tribes of Congo and there is none of the tutsi in, So stop following the media propaganda, TUTSI BANYAMULENGE are not Congolese, if even Congo government recognizes them today, tomorrow we will dismiss them. This war will be long and popular

To my dear older brother PLO We do have Bemba in the DRC and Zambia, Tshokwe in the DRC and Angola, Teke and Kongo in the DRC and Congo Brazaville, and so on. For the record, the DRC shares ethnic groupings with all nine of its surrounding nations. You are misrepresenting the status of people in the Eastern Congo. Why does the DRC not face the same problems with other countries as it does with Rwanda at the moment? With over 450 different ethnic groups in our country DRC, coexisting together was not an issue prior to 1994. How come you are unable to tell us the full story of KAGAME's rise to prominence? Who is standing behind him? What sort of goal was it given to accomplish in the DRC? Even though the west opposes and won't tolerate a united and stable Democratic Republic of the Congo, you fail to show a connection between KAGAME, who is carrying out the wishes of these evildoers in the Eastern part of DRC, and their wishes. The only issue we have with our dear fellow Africans, the Tutsis, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is their hunger for power at any costs. No one has refused them the Congolese nationality. There are more Tutsis generals in our army than any other ethnic group in DRC. We have had enough of the African leaders' hypocrisy; the conflict in the Eastern Democratic Republic has claimed the lives of over 10 million innocent people. However, when discussing the genocide in Rwanda, people tend to forget that the masterminds of that crime are savoring the spoils and using them to further their own agenda of plundering the Democratic Republic of the Congo. No matter what the rest of Africa says or does, we will not give up until the Democratic Republic of the Congo is free. PLO You mention that Rwanda is prepared for conflict with the DRC; let me assure you that Rwanda is not receiving backing from NATO or any other evildoers. Rwanda can't face the DRC forces in a day. I'm waiting on you to explain to the rest how the Americans function in Africa regions with head of states? President Ruto serves as the American representative in Eastern Africa, while Kagame, who succeeded Mobutu in Central Africa, does the same. That little job has a three-decade cycle, and soon you'll see America's newest puppet in central Africa. INGETA La patrie ou la mort.
