As time passes, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) President Felix Tshisekedi has finally decided to raise the tone against the Rwandan regime, calling it a demoniac system.

He pressed the Congolese to actively target the Rwandan oligarch Paul Kagame and his evil minority oligarchy oppressing the Rwandan people. The statements were made during an address to the nation in a meeting with the Congolese leaders, on December 4, 2022. The statements came as a reaction to the recent remarks made by the Rwandan dictator Paul Kagame in an address to the nation, in which he blamed Tshisekedi for using attacks and invasion of DRC by Rwandan founded, funded and supported M23 fighters to postpone elections.
