Up to 6 million People Allegedly Murdered and Forgotten in Eastern DRC

 New revelations coming out indicate that there was much more to the genocide in Rwanda and the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo than was reported to the world.

In an exclusive interview granted to DNT, Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza, the formerly imprisoned opposition leader in Rwanda, lamented how the world simply refused to talk about the massacre of “more than 6 million people”  in eastern DRC.

According to Umuhoza, during the more than two decades of violence and genocide, more people were killed in the eastern portion of DRC than were killed in Rwanda but “nobody talks about it.”

Pressed if she was sure about the number being as high as 6 million, Umuhoza cited reports by multiple human rights groups as well as the government of the DRC.

Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza is a Rwandan politician and chairperson of Development And Liberty For All (DALFA)-Umurinzi, a political party that is yet to be recognised in Rwanda, with the focus to campaign for political space and sustainable development in Rwanda.
