Kinshasa, Oct. 2025 — As instability in the Great Lakes region deepens and Rwandan-backed rebels escalate attacks in North Kivu, Congo’s Minister of Communication and Government Spokesperson, Patrick Muyaya, has delivered one of his most strategic and rallying messages yet. He outlined a comprehensive national response, military, diplomatic, judicial, economic, and media, to defend the Democratic Republic of Congo against aggression and plunder.
1. Military Front – “Our soldiers respond whenever necessary.”
Muyaya reaffirmed that the Armed Forces of the DRC (FARDC) remain alert and resolute.
“In case of an attack, whenever necessary, our soldiers respond. We know the intentions of our enemies.”
This statement comes amid renewed M23 offensives near Rutshuru and Masisi, where Rwandan-backed units continue to target Congolese civilians. FARDC operations, supported by the Wazalendo and regional coordination forces, are holding the line against foreign-sponsored destabilization.
2. Diplomatic Front – Washington and Doha
Muyaya revealed that Kinshasa is engaging diplomatically in both Washington and Doha to strengthen mediation efforts and ensure international awareness of Rwanda’s involvement.
While President Félix Tshisekedi extends a hand for peace, Muyaya stressed that Congo will never accept a settlement that rewards aggression or territorial occupation.
“We have discussions in Washington and Doha,” he said, highlighting that Congo is not isolated but backed by an expanding network of partners seeking justice and stability in the region.
