We, the Congolese Communist Party, Considering the repeated attacks by the Rwandan Patriotic Army against the sovereignty and integrity of the Democratic Republic of Congo;
Considering the savage and illegal exploitation of Congolese natural resources by Rwanda, Uganda, foreign armed groups, Western multinationals and their local accomplices;
Considering the notorious inability of MONUSCO to protect civilian populations against massacres, rapes, burning villages, inhuman and degrading treatment, and the Congolese genocide without justice;
We declare our full and unconditional political support for the Wazalendos Popular Self-Defense Forces, which embody the legitimate resistance of the Congolese people against the oppression and occupation of Congolese lands by the Rwandan and Ugandan military through their military structure, the M23.
Our beliefs:
1. The Wazalendos are a patriotic resistance force whose struggle is part of the continuity of the historical struggles for the liberation of the Congo against imperialism and neocolonialism.
2. In defense of the population, while state and international institutions fail to better protect civilians and to reconquer Congolese towns under Rwandan occupation, the Wazalendos fulfill a crucial role in the protection of civilian populations in the provinces of North and South Kivu, and above all prevent balkanization.
3. National sovereignty: Their struggle is a necessary and indispensable response to the Rwandan and Ugandan invasion, disguised as the M23, which Ugandan General Muhoozi Kainerugaba organized with his father, President Museveni, to bring Paul Kagame to power in Rwanda. Today, he shamelessly dares to describe the Wazalendos as a negative force; a statement that insults the Congolese people.
Our requirements:
1. Official recognition of the Wazalendos by the Congolese government as legitimate actors in the defense of Congolese territory.
2. – Increased support for the FARDC in terms of logistical and strategic resources to strengthen their ability to strike the Rwandan aggressors and their Ugandan accomplices. This support constitutes a significant contribution by the government to the protection of civilians.
3. It also implies the end of international complicity with the aggressors of the DRC, notably Rwanda, Uganda and their proxies.
4. We also condemn the media manipulations that demonize the Wazalendos to justify unjust repression against the civilian populations in the Kivus region.
We call on all Congolese and progressive forces around the world to support the popular resistance of the Wazalendos.
The struggle of the valiant Wazalendo fighters is not only that of the Congo, but that of all the oppressed peoples of the attacked nations who are fighting for their freedom and dignity.
Long live the wazalendo resistance!
Long live the united, sovereign and prosperous Congo.
Down with the diabolical campaign of the general, son of Museveni, against the valiant Wazalendos!
Down with Western imperialism and its vassals in Africa!
Down with the betrayal of certain Congolese officials against the heroic fight of the Wazalendos!
Homeland or death, we will win!
