. All this is happening under total silence at every level of the government. It is a non-event. The inaction and the silence of those who are supposed to protect the civilians speaks louder.

the planned genocidal killings and forced displacement, the government has not held any of the military commanders accountable even after multiple UN reports of collusion with the Mai-Mai, nor has it spoken out against any hate speech directly calling for their extermination.

Today 85% of the Banyamulenge are either refugees in other countries or internally displaced confined to IDPs across south kivu province. More than 70% of their villages have been burned to the ground and all the cows looted under a complacent eye of the government.

It has been obvious that despite President, Felix Tshisekedi Tshilombo numerous promises to protect Banyamulenge and to restore peace in the high plateaus of South Kivu; he has been incapable of stopping these killings and unable to hold his military accountable.

If his incapacity is not justified by the continued attacks, then there is lack of political will on his part to confront the problem and stop the genocidal killings and forced displacement.

Therefore, we request the immediate enactment of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) by the UN Security Council so that MONUSCO can adequately protect the Banyamulenge who are undergoing a genocide and forced displacement.

Lastly, Humanitarian assistance is paramount to the victims’ survival. If they don’t die by the bullets; they will certainly die from hunger and diseases. In either case, the executioners will have reached their goal.

We firmly condemn the killing of 5 WFP employees & motorcyclists killed by young people at Baraka/Fizi just because they had humanitarian aid (food) meant for Banyamulenge survivors of Bibogobogo. #StopHateagainstBanyamulenge .RIP.

We are incredibly concerned about the potential of #genocide in the #DRCongo. We have received multiple reports of intent to exterminate #Tutsi due to a perceived association with #Rwanda. The world cannot continue to turn a blind eye to this region. #BREAKING MONUSCO Department of State

Urgent: Genocidal threats in DR Congo put Tutsis on high alert amjamboafrica.com/urgent-genocid…

Le discours de haine a pris un autre niveau en RDC. Des prix ont été mis à la disposition de quiconque tuera des généraux et des employés du gouvernement Banyamulenge et Tutsi. #Katabana #Majagira répertorie même les morts (numéro 7).

We continue to worry about many forms which Congolese #Banyamulenge/Tutsi continue to be systematically targeted. This time, they have made a <hit list> with monetary rewards for anyone to assassinate Tutsis on the list below. One day anti-hate is not enough! MONUSCO

Minembwe is under multiple attacks since this morning! Many casualties are reported and attacks continue…@FARDC_off battalion is there but intentionally chose not to engage with Mai Mai.#CongoIsKillingTutsis
