PRESS RELEASE
REF: RDF/MPR/A/10/08/23
Kigali, 28 July 2023
Reference is made to the press release issued by the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (FARDC) on 27 July 2023, in which RDF is falsely accused of carrying out an incursion into North Kivu.
The accusations are baseless and part of a long-standing pattern of misinformation and propaganda by the DRC leadership to divert attention from their internal failures in maintaining peace and security within their own borders, while continuing to support, arm and fight alongside the genocidal militia FDLR.
The RDF notes the continued trend of false accusations and escalation, which may serve as a pretext for a planned attack by the FARDC/FDLR on Rwandan territory.
