One Congolese youth told us that Rwandans and whoever looks like them are mistreated, harassed and tortured. He himself told Umuseke that his wealthy worthy 2.5 M Rwf  has been innocently confiscated and when he went to search for help, local officials did not react positively to his claims due to the fact he resembles to Rwandan people’ he told Umuseke.

“The common speech of Congolese officials is that any Rwandan is the enemy of the DRC despite his  being military or not”Mr Hassan Slum added.
