At the UN, Kigali denounces the rehabilitation of Major General Sylvain Ekenge

Rwanda expressed concerns at the UN Security Council about the reinstatement of Major General Sylvain Ekenge as the spokesperson for the DRC armed forces, after his suspension for provocative remarks against Kinyarwanda-speaking Congolese communities. Ambassador Martin Karoli Ngoga highlighted that this decision raises questions about how Congolese authorities handle hate speech and responsibilities related to ethnic incitement. The reaction comes as Ekenge confirmed the death of two lieutenant generals in a FARDC statement, despite no official communication from the FARDC command.
