RWANDA REJECTS FALSE CLAIMS BY OHCHR

Kigali, 11 August 2025

Rwanda rejects the false accusations made in the recent statement of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR).

OHCHR alleges, without any evidence, corroboration or reported motives, that the Rwanda Defence Force “aided” in the killing of “319 civilians” in farms in eastern DRC. The gratuitous inclusion of the RDF in these allegations is unacceptable and brings into question the credibility of OHCHR and its methodology.

In a context where the United Nations (MONUSCO) has long failed to protect civilians affected by insecurity, OCHCR’s sensational allegations risk undermining the ongoing processes for a peaceful resolution of the conflict in the DRC.
