asRwanda’s President Paul Kagame has issued a stark warning to South Africa, declaring that his country is prepared for confrontation “any day.” This chilling statement comes in response to South African President Cyril Ramaphosa’s recent comments on the escalating conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Kagame accused South Africa of distorting facts, spreading lies, and overstepping its role as a mediator in the crisis. The exchange has ignited a war of words between the two nations
In a series of tweets, Kagame directly addressed Ramaphosa’s claims, calling them misleading and accusing South African officials of misrepresenting their private conversations.He emphasised that the Rwanda Defence Force (RDF) is a legitimate army, not a militia, and criticised the South African-led SAMIDRC force for engaging in offensive operations alongside groups like the FDLR, which Rwanda considers a genocidal threat.
