[Rwanda Forum] Le discours de haine en RDC : un refrain sans musique


Le discours de haine en RDC : un refrain sans musique

 

En République démocratique du Congo, le discours de haine est devenu un mot-valise. On l'agite, on le répète, on l'impose dans les communiqués diplomatiques et les plateaux médiatiques comme un refrain obligatoire. Pourtant, ce refrain sonne creux. Il n'a ni mélodie, ni harmonie, ni contexte. Il est souvent déconnecté de la réalité vécue par les populations de l'Est du pays, là où la guerre dure depuis près de trois décennies. Parler de « discours de haine » en RDC sans parler d'agression, d'occupation, de massacres et de pillage, c'est demander à un peuple meurtri de se taire au nom d'une paix abstraite qui ne le protège pas.

Hate Speech in the DRC: A Refrain Without Music

In recent years, "hate speech" has become a central term in diplomatic statements, UN briefings, and international media coverage concerning the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Democratic Republic of the Congo). It is repeated with insistence, often presented as a principal driver of violence in the eastern part of the country. Yet, detached from context, this narrative risks becoming a refrain without music: loud, repetitive, and ultimately misleading.

 

For international audiences—particularly in the European Union and the United States—this framing demands careful scrutiny. Under international law, political speech, even when angry or accusatory, does not automatically constitute hate speech. More importantly, the systematic focus on language rather than violence risks obscuring the primary legal reality: the DRC is the victim of prolonged armed aggression, massive human rights violations, and violations of its sovereignty.

-“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.”
