With threats of an attack by Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) President Felix Tshisekedi and fresh accusations of harboring rebels tormenting Burundi, Rwanda is in trouble with its neighbors. But President Paul Kagame has sent a veiled warning to Tshisekedi and anyone else thinking of declaring war against the small country, saying the attackers will destroy themselves instead.
Rwandan President Paul Kagame is yet to congratulate Felix Tshisekedi on his reelection as president of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) following a landslide victory, according to results by Ceni, the country’s electoral body.
A little over 24 hours since Ceni, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) electoral commission, declared Felix Tshisekedi the winner of the December 20 presidential election, Uganda’s President has finally spoken out on the election results – even as Congolese opposition candidates continue to cry foul.
The opposition in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has rejected the results of the presidential election after Commission Electorale Nationale Indépendante (Ceni) announced that incumbent Felix Tshisekedi had polled 73 per cent of the total votes cast to win himself a second term.
Ugandan President Gen Yoweri Kaguta Tibuhaburwa Museveni has made it clear to rebels under the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) that he will not allow them to turn the country into an Islamic state governed under sharia law.

DR Congo’s President Felix Tshisekedi has made at least two statements and taken one action that threaten diplomatic relations among member states of the East African Community (EAC) and could plunge the region into war.
