very good video

at its core its typical farmer vs nomadic herder stuff seen all around the world but yeah

-belgians documented seeing rwandans in the kivu province during arrival so the propaganda that they came only after the genocide is just that
-beligans created identity issues by putting rwandans in certain administrative roles and then giving congo a large portion of kivu that rwandans also coexisted on
-this created a post colonial tension i referenced earlier between farmers and herders that was subtle at first but grew louder
-the rwandan genocide is the culmination of that tension
- the congolese take in rwandans including genociders ....which ok.... they could not distinguish who is who at first but the genociders (hutu farmers) impart their ideology on some congolese who lived similar lifestyles (farmers)
-congolese leadership arm groups like FDLR and click up with hutu extremist like Burundi
-Uganda/Rwanda and rebel Congolese forces root out enough of them in the Congo war
-Congo leader turns on Uganda/Rwandan and goes back to enabling the farmer vs herder tension by denying citizenship to non-farmer rwandans and arming farmer rwandans

the biggest tell tale sign that the way this conflict is framed is more colonizer propaganda is that the same nations that enabled the genocide are the same ones now claiming m23 is just attacking congolese for no reason and pretending a lot of rwandan congolese are not a large bulk of the casualties from congolese militias. why would they do that? drc is in bad shape and easier to exploit than if the farmer vs herder issue is rectified.

Mali announces withdrawal from alliance of French-speaking countries​

BAMAKO, Mali (AP) — Mali has withdrawn from a global alliance of French-speaking countries, days after two of its neighbors took the same step.

In a letter seen by The Associated Press on Tuesday, Mali’s foreign ministry addressed its French counterpart, saying: “The government has decided to withdraw Mali from the Organization Internationale de la Francophonie,” while accusing it of “selective application of sanctions” and “contempt for Mali’s sovereignty.”

On Monday, the alliance’s spokeswoman, Oria Vande Weghe, said Burkina Faso and Niger had also decided to remove their countries from the organization.

“At the last summit, 5 new members joined, so it’s all part of the game. Some join and some unfortunately leave. We hope that these are not final decisions,” said Oria Vande Weghe on TV5 Monde, a major French-speaking TV channel.

The organization had already suspended the membership of the three countries over military coups in recent years. Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso are now all ruled by military juntas that have severed diplomatic ties with France and expelled French troops while building security partnerships with Russia instead.

The three will have six months to discuss the terms of their withdrawal from the alliance before it becomes final.

The organization was created in 1970 in the capital of Niger, Niamey, to promote the French language and foster political, educational, economic, and cultural cooperation among French-speaking countries. It now includes 93 countries and governments, 56 of which are full members.

The announcement comes as most West African nations are rethinking their relationship with France, which is losing its clout in the region. Following the military coups, Burkina Faso and Mali dropped French as the official language and banned many French-speaking media outlets.

Last year, Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso announced their withdrawal from the regional organization ECOWAS, which requires them to organize presidential elections and transfer power to civilians. Weakened by attacks from armed groups linked to al-Qaeda, the Islamic State, or separatists, they created the Alliance of Sahel States to pool their military and diplomatic forces.
