FDLR PRESS RELEASE NR. 05/SE/CD/MAY/2009


The FDLR warn the Kigali regime against the preparations for massacres of innocent
civilians within Rwanda.
Reliable information in our possession indicate preparation of lists of young Hutu men and women
across the country by elements of the DMI (Directorate of Military Intelligence) with the intent to
wrongfully accuse them of collaborating with the FDLR within Rwanda.
The Democratic Liberation Forces of Rwanda (FDLR) remind the public that many people in
Rwanda have been arbitrarily arrested in recent months and imprisoned on false charges of
collaborating with the FDLR.
Under the pretext that there would be some infiltration of the FDLR into Rwanda, the Kigali regime
is planning repression of the population, mass arrests and killings on a large scale in order to even
more silence and terrorize conscientious objectors in Rwanda.
The FDLR urge the Rwandan regime to immediately stop these unjust arrests and its gruesome
repression and murder, to free all conscientious objectors it has imprisoned since 1994 and to open
without delay the political space to its opposition.
The FDLR request the African Union, the European Union and the United Nations Security Council
to seriously condemn these murderous manoeuvres of Kigali and to do everything possible to
prevent Rwanda and the African Great Lakes Region from falling again into fratricidal wars.
The FDLR condemn again and unequivocally the ongoing war in eastern DRC that the coalition of
the RPA/RDF and the FARDC has imposed on them, on the Congolese people of eastern DRC and
on Rwandan refugees.
The FDLR reiterate their commitment to peace and remain convinced that the Rwandan problem is
political and must be resolved politically through a frank and direct dialogue between the Kigali
regime and the FDLR.
