Rwanda's military strongman Vice President Paul Kagame warned on Wednesday that his country was ready to go to war with Zaire.
Kagame also threatened further retaliation for Zairean shelling of Rwandan border areas.
The previous day Zairean shells rained down on the southwest Rwandan border town of Cyangugu on Tuesday and Rwandan troops returned fire.
The E-U special envoy to the region says urgent action is needed to prevent full scale war.
Rwandan and Zairean troops bombarded each other from opposite sides of the border with mortar fire Tuesday.
Although Rwanda insists it is not at war with Zaire, its Tutsi-dominated army fired on Zairean positions near the town of Cyangugu for more than an hour.
At least 100 rounds were fired and the lush green hills around the volcanic Lake Kivu echoed with the thud of mortars
The local people, as always, were caught in the cross fire.
The fighting stems from Zaire's attempt to expel ethnic Tutsis whose ancestors immigrated to eastern Zaire at least 200 years ago.
The Rwandan army is threatening further action in response to the Tuesday's shelling by Zairean troops.
Rwanda's military strongman is Vice President Paul Kagame.
Kagame is also defence minister and led Tutsi rebels to power in Rwanda in 1994.
Speaking on Wednesday, he said many people were killed and wounded in the attack and warned there would be consequences.
SOUNDBITE:
"Yesterday, somebody made a very big mistake, and ordered whoever did it without order, and spent some hours shelling our territory in Cyangugu and they killed the people and wounded others. That has got its own consequences, of course."

He would not give details of the type of response he was planning - but his message was clear.
SOUNDBITE:
"I cannot be specific about all the detail and the kind of response there is going to be but suddenly, logically if you slap me in the face before I hit back, I want to - I am not hitting the face, I am hitting somewhere else so I have to think and see where I am going to hit.
Question: But you will hit?
Answer: There is no question about it. "

As the fighting intensifies, the refugee crisis continues to deepen.
This refugee woman, Agatha and her child were saved by two soldiers and escorted to safety to border.
Many of the refugees are afraid to go home for fear of reprisals from the new Tutsi-led government.
Others are prevented from leaving by the Hutu militias that have taken over the camps, using them as bases from which to attack Rwanda.
Agatha spoke of her ordeal.
SOUNDBITE: (Kinyarwanda)
"They took me to the hill next to the army base and started hitting me and threatened to take my child to kill him. "

The E-U Special Envoy to the Great Lakes region, said the heads of states of the region must step in as they did when the Burundi crisis exploded.
SOUNDBITE:
"If a war explodes here, this war will affect the entire region so we think that the Heads of States of the region should look at that carefully. And since they have proved to be effective in the case of Burundi, when the Burundi peace exploded. And they reacted quickly and effectively. I think we should use this mechanism as soon as possible, to try to defuse this crisis.
(Q. How likely is it that war will be happening in the region?)
Answer: If nothing would be done, it is almost inevitable.

Mombutu will go down as the top stupiest leaders of any country.
As though killing Lumumba was not enough, he helped genociders, & attacked Rwanda for no reason.
2 worst decisions ever.
Mobutu helped who? Liars. Kagame is a war criminal 6.5 millions of Congolese died because of this man. If you'll want to pay for it, keep being supportive of this killer.
not attack rwanda, he shouldn't have made them dislike him. However war only brought one good thing: Zaire was no more.
It's Mobutu who attacked Rwanda or the RPF who attacked legal government of Rwanda just because it was lead by Hutus ?
@@lafricain6they wanted to come back to their country and the gov didn’t want that, so they came bay force.
Again a stupid thing from the then gov. Almost all of Africa’s killings are because of stupid of gov
Stupidity is very pricey
@_thacieng Is there any proof of that, or just because RPF leaders said it, it must be true.
Tutsi were living in Rwanda and were integrated in all the rwandan institutions! According to research, the chief of Interamwe was a Tutsi, the responsible of intelligence services was a Tutsi. How could that happen if no Tutsi was allowed to return to Rwanda ?
Wake up from myths!
Mobutu seseko made a mistake supported Interahamwe and Kagame removed him in power and died in exile, Kagame I love you
@Ericc. Your so called Kagame is nothing, why didn't he figth Mobutu in the early ninethies when Mobutu was not sick? He was afraid of Mobutu then he choose to attack Mobutu when he was seriously sick with prostate cancer and your Kagame took that as opportinity to fight Mobutu because he knew Mobutu was weak to fight him back and defeat him. Don't forget that Zaïre's army was the best army in africa and Kagame knew it that's why he could not fight when he healthy on his former glory that he had to wait till Mobutu falls sick so that he can attack him. Kagame would n't dare speak to Mobutu face to face when Mobutu was still alive not only leading zaïre but whole africa continent. Kagame's time is soon coming, we will show him that we are the Congo that Lumumba pay the price of his life for the peace of his people. We will restore a permanent peace in east to honor what Lumumba fought for and died for.
@@rolandndia1957 love from Rwanda. we dont wish war on you people. we are brothers afterall.
@@rolandndia1957 *Mobutu’s Attacks on Lumumba from Rwanda and Kivu*
1/20 “In *October 1960,* Congolese soldiers position themselves at the border, and fire sporadically towards *RWANDA.* The BELGIAN PARATROOPERS are ordered to shoot back only if the Congolese cross the border, or if their shots cause any victims on the Rwandan side.
2/20 *Insecurity becomes permanent in Bukavu* when *Lumumbists* take control of the city in *December 1960,* under the direction of [Anicet] Kashamura. Belgian residents are taken hostage, and some are even *shot dead.*
Kagame wasn't kidding... Mobutu got his ass handed to him
Ahahahah you wish bro.Listen there is line u can't cross.we Rwandans our ambition in the world is to spreading love... Just stop talking nonsense . So what's wrong with you people.
africauniteonelove.
anonymous anonymous hi 7
Yes. Along with millions of everyday Congolese, Rwandese and Burundians who had nothing to do with any of this.
Yes his ass was delivered in shortest time.
@@emrebilgi millions is an overestimatent and those who were killed was mostly done by hutu extremists genocidal participants and XFAR militia. They killed their own Rwandans Why do you think they'd hesitate killing congolese for property and resources ....
I wish Lumumba was alive as DRC president while Kagame is leading Rwanda.
Do not put Lumumba Name is the same sentence as that criminal!!!
@@jakmat4603 you failed to organize your country and blame Rwanda.
@@alphadee9021 Rwanda and Uganda funded their war lords in 1998, Paul Kagame denies this but Rwanda Possibly looted Congolese mines during the second war and exported them to their markets as 'Rwandan Products'.
What would he do?🤷
@@alphadee9021your country is backed by us/Canada/uk. Once they will stop supporting Kagame, Rwanda will fall
Much love from Bulamu family farm Africa Uganda ❤
Yes its now almost 24 years ago but these terrors continue. So sad to see these innocent peasant farmers who only want to get on with their already hard lifes without having to now dodge bullets and being shot at for no reason. So sad, such an unjust world.
I thank you indeed for all you did we appreciate you 🙏
Kachikala boloyako
you thanking him for killing innocents in Congo?
may the lord punish and Kagame
Go to hell! You stupid!
IMANA igikomeza kuturindira Umubyeyi wacu President Paul Kagame ndetse ni gihugu cyacu
Consequences fell on Mobutu who allowed it to happen
It wasn’t Mobutu who did this, Kagame shelled his own city for him to later have an excuse to invade Congo. He’s the evil man behind all of this.
@@bornagaingg6223some of ones who did are in Rwanda and are living peacefully and you are saying nonsense.
Body and Soul, am with this man until my last breath
you with a demon in flesh and blood, his eternal hell fire is coming for the murder of my People,watch and see.God knows you people work with the whites ,y'all first class sell outs.
Les conséquences sont terrible aujourd'hui nous pleurons des millions et des millions des Zaïrois
2:00 Not an ounce of fear in PK's eyes, God bless our president!
Amen.
It's so unfortunate that congo didn't learn anything from their past mistakes and they're still shelling on Rwanda's territory with the help of interahamwe genocidiers as it was during Mobutu's time. History doesn't repeat itself but people who don't learn from history repeat past mistakes.
In the Time of Mobutu, Gagamé would not have dare
@@bmbm1378 Remind me who led to Mobotus downfall?
@@mujunironald220 the 🇺🇸/🇬🇧 kagame was nothing but a cover up. Kagame wouldnt dare to attack zaire without the help of the west/multinational
@@Bertinkokotv Do you mean the same Congo that can't defeat jungle dwellers and ill trained militias?
Your tutsi brother Joseph kabila killed our but were in process of rebuilding our army you will see in a few years
Look at these ladies hiding and living in fear damn
That was 25 years ago. Today, Rwanda enjoys peace, stability and prosperity. After Mobutu was toppled, Rwanda became a hub of unity and reconciliation. Which was impossible with a neighbor who doesn't do anything but sabotage your efforts to rebuild your country.
Abalunzi bimbunda n'amasasu, nta ntambara dushaka kubutaka bw'u Rwanda.

Find ICTR document and UN mapping report , you must find Congo genocide
@@amazingvideo4761 Much more than that. A LEGEND.
This guy is a criminal and he will pay a heavy price for all the evil things he has done in the Congo
Mobutu was so naive...
Mobutu was an imbecile.
OK
Kagame will pay dearly for what he done in 🇨🇩. Once the M23 is defeated, it will be time to to get rid of this dictator and install democratic rule in Rwanda.
You sound stupid
@@ishimwemanzibruce7486 He sounds more than stupid, im not even rwandan but congo got big issues to scapegoat PK is just pathetic.
Fuck u M23 are Congolese who fought for their freeedom
Kagame is a American puppet
Nonsense
Am Here in 2023
Un fou.
Kagame, kagame, kagame. The blood of millions of Congolese will be venged very very very soon, and there will be no place for u to get refuge.
Они не разбираются в документах ,!маринес
Нам может понадобиться ваша помощь
When u mess with mobutu it was gonna be like that
and where is mobutu now?
Mess with Rwanda and you will pay so heavy - Rwandese have suffered enough. Kagame was born in refugee camp and suffer injuste since his childhood.
You mean the Rwandan people
Shut up its still a small county
When you talk about Mobutu you forget that both dictators die in the same way. It will be the same for that man who is talking in this video.
Amakuru yanyu tu rayakurikirana
Yyyes
War in zaire from 1996 to 2002.
5 million dead.
.
This man is a blessing from God to Africa

Mombutu was so stupid to bomb 💣 Cyangugu then, fatefully karma dealt with him
MOBUTU not Mombutu Please! What’s wrong with you? Just write kinyarwanda! Please!
Kagame is just a proper used person ...
@@mackboka550 your hate doesn't change anything to who Kagame is. Talk to people in Mozambique.
@Sealteam Six Mobutu Zaire had no military or weapons that’s why it was easy for Rwanda and Uganda to invade Zaire. Due to Mobutu lack of Military and corruption.
@Sealteam Six The DRC today is much stronger then Rwanda military. Let’s be factual here and not let our bias take the best of us. The DRC is ranked 81 most powerful country in the world military and 9th in Africa. The problems in the east of the country is moral then military interventions. It’s also ethnic, that’s why it’s has been so hard to bring peace to that region.
in your rwandese ( tutsi and hutu problem) why innocent congolese are killed? Your time to pay all you did in DRC is over now. Nonsense!
Zero brain 🧠🤏
Kagame's sins are catching up with him.
Never Tutsi are taking over the Bantu Hutu days are numbered

Kagame chose to fight Mobutu when he was sick. Why didn't he fight Mobutu in the early ninethies when Mobutu was healthy and strong to fight back?
