South Africa and Rwanda head go to the head of the Congo war

The diplomatic relations of South Africa and Rwanda have already worsened by President Cyril Ramaphosa, Ruanda-Backed M23 killed South African Democratic Republic of Congo.

When the rebels got the upper hand on the battlefield, the largest city in southern East – South Africa threw a diplomatic Salvo, he warned that he would be a “war declaring” more attack “in his troops.

President Paul Kagame Paul retreated, participating in a “attacker” “force” involved in the “offensive fight” involved in the “offensive fight” involved in South Africa. “

13 total soldiers in South Africa have died last week while the rebels made a lightning toward the gum – an important trading site on the border with Rwanda.

Last year, other seven South Africans were killed in the East of Congo – it became one of the most deadly tragedies associated with the fight.

South Africa and Rwanda have long been a difficult relationship.

In South Africa in 2014 wear Rwanda three diplomatics after attacking the house of an exiled exiled by Johannesburg.

Kagame’s government replied by expelling those who sent six to South Africa.

Apparently, tensions went to Ramaphosa’s visit to Rwanda last year, 800,000 people died 30. Genocide 30. To mark the anniversary.

But they have once again escaped, in December 2023 as part of the strength of the region to maintain the peace of the East African development communities (SADC).

South African soldiers form the largest part of the strength known by the Sigidrc Sigle. He had the role of repellent armed groups like M23 and the impatience will bring peace to the mineral-rich after decades.

The last diplomatic fall began with a shared post on the X page of Ramaphosa.

There, the president confirmed that he spoke to Kagame about scaling conflict and the two leaders “agreed to” the urgent need for the fire break and again in the face of conflict “.

Ramaphosa also later in the expression, the presence of the Congo Dr. South African troops was not a reference to the appearance of any country or the war of the State “- Rwanda’s appearance.

However, he took the defense minister of South Africa, saying, when they were shooting over ourselves, the president warned them (that) to turn on fire as a declaration of war. “

But Ramaphosa went to X Xn, By saying calmly saying, they died in the attacks of M23 and added the “Rwanda Defense Force (Rwand) militias.”

Statements made by South African officials, including Ramaphosa – lie and distortion.

“Rwanda defense force is an army, not in the militia” Kagame replied in x.

“President Ramaphosa has never given any” warning “unless I deliver in a local language I understand. The South African force asked to ensure that electricity, food and water is appropriate. Help communicate.

“President Ramaphosa confirmed that M23 did not kill South African soldiers, (Conglantic Army) Fardc,” Kagameek said.

Added the regional peace. Those who entered Tanzania and Malawi troops were directed by the “scary force” in Rwanda “working in armed armed groups,” and “There was no place in this situation.”

Kagame closed his long expression, “it was not a” peacemaker or a mediator. “

Kagame commented clearly that South Africa wants from Dr. Congo.

First the UN peace took into the mission, Monusco, after the end of the racist apartheid system in 1994.

At the time, the South African military “Apartheid victory was” very effective “, reduced financing and” lack of political directions, “Thomas Mandrup, an associate professor at the country Stellenbosch, told BBC.

South Africa said to participate in the Congo Dr. Participation in a SADC member, “Defense Analyst Dean Wingrin said the economic interests of the country also affected.

“The DRC (with the US) is very rich. Because many minerals are rich. We import many minerals … from DRC, so that South Africa has a peaceful DrC,” BBC said.

Monusco’s mission was to a large extent that scaling of regional strains in 2013 led to the implementation of the strength of the intervention of force in 2013 with the many armed groups of the Spanish Dr. Congo.

This intervention had the initial success M23, M23 to scare away the most notable rebel group.

South African Attack of Aircraft – Rooivalk – “Destructive Effect”, M23 was “destructive effect” in a short time, according to Mr. Wingrin.

The group of rebels then melt effectively and then expelled from the east of Dr. Congo. Until he caught part of the region lately.

However, the South African military has no place, this time, the advance of the rebellious group has lost the Airpea.

“Unfortunately, the South African budget has declined years. The air force could not hold smoking,” Wingrine said.

“We lack that aircraft that would be so available today, but it’s late,” he said.

Mandrup stated a similar view, saying that South Africa referring to his troops in 2023, “You do not need the necessary skills, the defensive force, and the opponent is much better equipped in 2013.”

He added that South Africa was difficult to bring his troops at this time again “because the forces are locked and trapped in the two base.”

“They can’t get out, air ships (or) get reinforcements. They can’t get hurt,” he said.

Ramaphosa seemed to agree, saying that the regional situation was “voltage, volatile and unpredictable”.

However, any decision to take outside Congo is with SAMC, since Samidrc opened the 16-member regional blocks.

There are reports that SADC will take that decision on Friday summit.

For Mr. Wingrin, the South African government had to “serious introspection” in the military implications of Dr. Congo.

“It’s something they want to encourage all costs and what is it worth killing in South Africa so far sons and daughters?” asked.

So the South African president seems to be a difficult option – keep his soldiers at the Congo Dr. and he puts more deaths, or embarrassing them, thinks of the passage with Rwanda.
