She was speaking on October 7, 2025, at the 60th session of the UN Human Rights Council, during an intervention on the draft resolution No. A\/HRC\/60\/L32.Rev1 concerning the human rights situation in eastern DRC.<\/p>\n

Ambassador Bakuramutsa said, \u201cInsanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Continuing to repeat the same accusatory narratives while ignoring the root causes of the conflict will not bring peace, neither to the people of the DRC nor to our region.”<\/p>\n

\u201cRwanda rejects the unfounded accusations made against it; nevertheless, it will continue to engage constructively to ensure that security, accountability, and the protection of civilians remain at the core of all initiatives aimed at restoring peace and dignity to the populations of the Great Lakes region,\u201d she added. <\/p>\n

In June 2025, Rwanda and the DRC signed peace agreements aimed at restoring security in eastern DRC. <\/p>\n

The accord includes four key components: the dismantling of the FDLR rebel group, the lifting of Rwanda\u2019s defensive measures, economic cooperation between the two countries, and a political section that commits both governments to support ongoing talks between the DRC and the M23\/AFC, as well as facilitation for the voluntary repatriation of refugees.<\/p>\n

However, Rwanda has consistently highlighted that President Tshisekedi\u2019s government has been slow in implementing these agreements. <\/p>\n

In August 2025, Rwanda\u2019s Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Amb. Olivier Nduhungirehe, told Senators that while Rwanda is hopeful the signed peace agreement with the Democratic Republic of Congo will bear fruit, it still has serious concerns about its actual implementation as agreed upon by both parties.<\/p>\n
