On the night of May 27, 2022,  DRC President  Felixi Tshisekedi confirmed, during an emergency meeting with the Conseil Supérieur de la Défense (Security High Commission),  that the Rwandan ambassador Vincent Karega was summoned a day earlier. In fact, on May 26, 2022 AfroAmerica Network was first to report on the summon, as a step towards expulsion, after getting  the information and the facts from sources close to the president of DRC,  Felix Tshisekedi, and his minister of Foreign Affairs, Christophe Lutundula. AfroAmerica Network sources  have been closely following the dynamics of the latest securrity crisis (DR Congo: President Felix Tshisekedi Facing Serious Crisis in East Mulls Over Expelling Rwandan Ambassador Karega).

FARDC, Goma in 2013

Vincent Karega, the Rwandan ambassador in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has been under consideration to be expelled from the country. The information and the fact have been communicated to AfroAmerica Network  by sources close to the president of DRC,  Felix Tshisekedi, and his minister of Foreign Affairs, Christophe Lutundula and who have been closely following the dynamics.   Felix Tshisekedi heighted the prospects to expel the Rwandan ambassador after the Rwandan special forces, wearing uniforms and under the cover of M23 rebels, who been waging war in the East, seized the FARDC  military camp  in Rumangabo and were advancing on Goma, the capital of the North-Kivu provice, in eastern DRC.  

Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba's 48th Birthday, April 2022

Uganda's Yoweri Museveni and Rwanda's Paul Kagame are two of the African dictators who have been holding on to power the longest.  Despite their brutal and bloody rules, the two dictators have held onto power mostly through repression, kidnappings,  killings, and disappearances of real or supposed political opponents, journalists, and activists.  AfroAmerica Network has been reporting on the scenarios secretely investigated or explored by their closest advisers and family members.  In the pursuit of the strategy, the two key leaders are already ahead in the preparation of the plan of actions.  Anticipating chaos after their departure, the top priority for the two leaders has been the preparation of their succession to the throne by their son and daughter. The last visit of Paul Kagame  officially to attend the celebration of the 48th birthday of Lt. Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, Ugandan Land Forces commander and the purported heir of the throne of his 77-year old father, Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni, is part of the plan. However, according to sources, the welcome Paul Kagame received from Yoweri Museveni was weird at best, if not the most disrespectiful.
