President Felix Tshisekedi is actively considering engaging Russian dictator Vladimir Putin to fight rebels in East Demeocratic Republic of Congo that are allegedly back by Rwanda.
Tshisekedi has told high level government officials Rwanda is backed by the Americans to allegedly maintain the M23 rebel group in east DRC.
The election thief says Putin was better placed to help his government fight rebel as he did with Mali.
Tshisekedi’s unorthodox social media account announced his intention to join forces with Putin so as to guage the mood Congolese would take.
🔴Il est temps pour la RDC de tirer la conclusion que les USA et la France soutiennent le Rwanda dans l'invasion de l'Est, il est donc impérieux de se tourner vers la Russie qui a tjr été un partenaire sincère & efficace. La Russie a aidé le Mali à récupérer tous ses territoires. pic.twitter.com/DKj18ArIck

Tshisekedi’s unorthodox reaction, though still unofficial, comes after a senior American official sided with the Tutsis of east Congo.
US House of Representatives Member Congressman André Carson has introduced a resolution condemning ethnic violence in eastern DR Congo and warned of “possible genocide” against Kinyarwanda-speaking Tutsi communities.
On Thursday 1st February, Congressman Carson, who represents the state of Indiana, said members of DR Congo’s armed forces (FARDC) were engaged in grave acts of violence against ethnic minorities, such as massacres and sexual violence.
“Human rights organisations and advocacy groups have documented concerning acts of violence performed by members of the Armed Forces of the DRC and militias against ethnic minorities,” Carson said in a statement.
Congressman Carson stated that the targets are primarily Kinyarwanda-speaking communities.
