PACTE DE DEFENSE DU PEUPLE
PEOPLE’S DEFENSE PACT
It is now two weeks since the Congolese army, together with the thousands of Rwandan soldiers, having started the joint military operations in order to hunt and to eradicate the rebels who are united themselves in what they called FDLR.
Basing itself to its principles as mentioned in the communications made public on 15/11/2008, and being worried by the severe consequences which accompany such military actions, especially in our region which has been affected for a long time by wars, hunger, sicknesses and diseases and other different atrocities caused by endless wars, PDP has the following to the public’s attention:
The Rwandan rebels who are found in Congo are not the cause of lack of security in the region of the great lakes of Africa as Rwandans like to call it in radios and news papers. Truly the real cause of insecurity in the region of the great lakes of Africa is the RPF Administration which is founded on a dictatorship and intimidation, an administration which can not implement democracy after 15 years on power in Rwanda .
The problem of the FDLR rebels who are in The Democratic Republic of Congo, together with that of thousands of Rwandan refugees scattered all over the world, will not bee ended by military actions even if much forcers and energy will be put in actions. It is a very big problem which has its roots on political reasons, which means that it will only get a political solution through an Inter Rwandan Dialogue which must bring together all Rwandans. RPF has done all in its possibilities to thwart that kind of gathering, but wither it likes it or not, this gathering will have to take place even if it is against RPF will.
All Americans and French plans to bring peace back in the Democratic Republic of Congo show clearly how the international community is out to solve the problem of the region of the great lakes of Africa . It is of a great urgency and very important to rebuild and develop that region. To make it a really high way of development, economically and politically, a highway which promote interest of it’s inhabitants who are to share every thing, good or worse. However, no one should ignore worries caused by the question of democracy in Rwanda , mostly based on the tag of war between Hutu and Tutsi, a tag of war which has not yet got a solution, up to now it continues to be a barrier to all plans of peace and stability in the central region of Africa .
In order to give our contribution in solving this Rwandese crucial political problem once for all, PDP is pursuing its program inside the country and out side of it. The politic which blocks and denies the basic freedom in Rwanda is not caused by the FDLR rebels who are being hunt since the last days until now. We are calling once again all Rwandans to support dynamic of change in Rwanda and we want to firmly assure our people that this dynamic will never reverse it way.
