Dr. Denis Mukwege calls out former president Kabila for entering Goma through Rwanda and failing to condemn Kigali’s aggression. Joseph Kabila’s quiet comeback to Goma has triggered loud criticism, especially from Nobel Peace Prize winner Dr. Denis Mukwege. For Mukwege, this is more than just a political visit, it’s a disturbing signal of silent collusion with Rwanda, the country widely accused of fueling war in eastern DRC.

"He didn’t denounce Paul Kagame, even with the UN’s Resolution 2773 calling for Rwanda to leave Congo unconditionally," Mukwege said in a bold interview on France 24.

Silence That Speaks Volumes

Kabila’s refusal to speak out against Rwanda's involvement is not being taken lightly. Dr. Mukwege, known globally for his work with war rape survivors, believes this silence is intentional and dangerous.

"He entered through Rwanda. That alone is a sign that cannot be ignored," he added, implying that Kabila’s actions send a message of complicity rather than resistance.

The former president’s return via Rwandan territory has fueled public suspicion. In a region already shaken by M23 rebel violence, with Rwanda accused of backing the militia, the symbolism of entering through Kigali is powerful.


Mukwege didn’t hold back, calling Kabila’s move a "déjà vu" ,a familiar pattern of shady backdoor politics, compromise, and betrayal that has long plagued Congo’s leadership.


Mukwege’s Warning to the People

At a time when M23 rebels continue to terrorize communities and Rwanda faces international condemnation, Mukwege’s words are a wake-up call. He warns Congolese citizens to stay alert and not fall for the tactics of those who once held power but now remain silent as the nation bleeds.

"Anyone who stays silent while Rwanda attacks our sovereignty is no friend of Congo," the doctor implied, renewing his commitment to justice and national dignity.

As the east of Congo burns, Mukwege continues to stand tall, not just as a doctor, but as a defender of truth. While Kabila walks in silently through enemy territory, Mukwege speaks loudly for a country tired of betrayal.
