Filip Reyntjens, an opportunist disguising as Rwanda expert For decades, Belgian academic Filip Reyntjens has been presented in some international circles as a leading “expert” on Rwanda’s political history. But a series of X posts by Rwandan minister of National Unity and Civic

Congratulations @Interpeace_Org, Partners and Beneficiaries. The National Unity Barometer 2025 showed that 88% of Rwandans surveyed believe that resilience has helped overcome the trauma of the genocide against the Tutsi. While this progress is very encouraging and offers hope,

Filip Reyntjens has not realized that Rwanda has moved on—and the people he thinks can speak down to no longer look up at him. He has not realized that the ideological empire he defends is gone—buried under the rubble of its own crimes. https://t.co/mWWoGb07ua

Lorsque @freyntje me qualifie de « plus grand menteur du FPR-INKOTANYI », il feint d’ignorer les faits évidents qui prouvent que ce jugement faux et injuste s'applique plutôt à lui: 1) D'emblée, précisons que le FPR n’est pas composé de menteurs mais de libérateurs d’un pays, le

@ciaroyalty @gateteviews Very few Rwandan refugees exist worldwide today, per UNHCR reports, with most post-1994 exiles having repatriated—over 2 million returned by the early 2000s. Remaining cases number in the low thousands at most, primarily in eastern DRC and involving individuals linked to genocide

If I hated Tutsi, would I have spent the first 4 months of 1991 in Rwanda assisting the jailed so-called 'ibyitso' 90% of whom were Tutsi? One of them was @rpfinkotanyi General Secretary Wellars Gasamagera. As I believe he's a decent person, he'll confirm my support.

Wrong , neocolonialist anti- Rwandan agitation. Any such policy would be counterproductive and lead to serious escalation of the ongoing ethnic cleansing or maybe genocide in eastern DRC. Pressure needs to be applied on Kinshasa. Also, Rwandan is much more self-reliant than 2013.
