Ex-FDLR leader: DR Congo’s support for Genocidal militia still the biggest threat to peace

As long as the genocidal FDLR remains in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo), enjoying full government support, there will never be peace in the Great Lakes Region.
This is according to Straton Musoni, one of the co-founders and former vice president of the terrorist militia, which was created in the aftermath of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi after the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF-Inkotanyi) defeated the forces of the genocidal government, pushing them out of the country into what was then Zaire.
It was then that the defeated forces convened in what later became DR Congo to carry on with their genocide ideology agenda, enjoying full government support from the host country, starting with the regime of Laurent-Désiré Kabila and transitioning through other governments that followed, including the current one led by Félix Antoine Tshisekedi.
This, according to Musoni, will forever continue to be a thorn in the efforts to find peace in the Great Lakes Region unless Kinshasa denounces its support for the militia and its members renounce the genocide ideology and peacefully return home.
In an interview with The New Times, Musoni, currently living in Rwanda after being repatriated from Europe following the completion of his prison sentence, said that as long as there is no goodwill in Kinshasa to end collaboration with the rebel group, peace will never be achieved.
