[Rwanda Forum] Comparaison de l'occupation rwandaise de l'Est de la RDC à l'occupation nazie de l'Europe


Comparaison de l'occupation rwandaise de l'Est de la RDC à l'occupation nazie de l'Europe

Introduction

Les comparaisons historiques sont souvent dérangeantes, mais elles demeurent indispensables pour comprendre la répétition de certains schémas de domination, de violence et d'impunité. Comparer l'implication militaire du Rwanda et l'occupation de facto de certaines parties de l'Est de la République démocratique du Congo à l'occupation nazie de l'Europe durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale ne vise ni à confondre les idéologies ni à banaliser l'Holocauste. Il s'agit d'une comparaison analytique, fondée sur les structures de l'occupation, les méthodes de contrôle, l'exploitation économique, la manipulation des récits et l'échec de la communauté internationale à faire respecter le droit international et à protéger les civils.

Pour les populations congolaises du Nord et du Sud-Kivu, l'occupation n'est pas une notion juridique abstraite. Elle constitue une expérience vécue au quotidien, marquée par la peur, les déplacements forcés, la perte des moyens de subsistance et l'effondrement de l'autorité de l'État. Le recours à des parallèles historiques permet de rendre visible ce que le langage diplomatique tend à dissimuler.

Comparing Rwanda's Occupation of Eastern DRC with the Nazi Occupation of Europe

Introduction

Historical comparisons are often uncomfortable, yet they are essential for understanding how patterns of domination, violence, and impunity repeat themselves across time. Comparing Rwanda's military involvement and de facto occupation of parts of eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo with the Nazi occupation of Europe during the Second World War is not an attempt to equate historical ideologies or minimise the Holocaust. Rather, it is an analytical comparison focused on structures of occupation, methods of control, economic exploitation, narrative manipulation, and the failures of the international community to uphold international law and protect civilians.

For Congolese communities living in North and South Kivu, occupation is not an abstract legal term. It is a daily lived experience defined by fear, displacement, loss of livelihoods, and the erosion of state authority. Examining this reality through historical parallels helps expose what is often obscured by diplomatic language and security narratives.

-“The root cause of the Rwandan tragedy of 1994 is the long and past historical ethnic dominance of one minority ethnic group to the other majority ethnic group. Ignoring this reality is giving a black cheque for the Rwandan people’s future and deepening resentment, hostility and hatred between the two groups.”

-« Ce dont j’ai le plus peur, c’est des gens qui croient que, du jour au lendemain, on peut prendre une société, lui tordre le cou et en faire une autre ».

-“The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.”

-“I have loved justice and hated iniquity: therefore I die in exile.

-“The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.”
