President Of Uganda Just Exposed How UN Led The Prolonged Crisis In Congo

President Of Uganda Just Exposed How UN Led The Prolonged Crisis In Congo In the Western world, when a former government official exposes their government, their words carry weight, especially if their arguments are valid. However, when African leaders convey their displeasure and expose the hypocrisy of Western countries, they are often ignored. But this time, they will be heard. Most recently, President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda accused the United Nations of sustaining terrorism in the Democratic Republic of Congo and contributing to chaos in several Sahel countries. He used strong language like the “conservation of terrorism“ by the United Nations’ peacekeeping missions, which were ironically meant to combat terrorism in the first place. According to Museveni, in Africa, some actors who attempt to act as global policemen either create or perpetuate terrorism. The unrest in Libya and Sahel countries such as Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, Nigeria, and Chad, among others, has been caused by some of these actors. The United Nations has been involved in a project to sustain terrorism in eastern Congo for the past 20 years, controlled by specific actors through undemocratic structures like the Security Council. Yoweri Museveni further argued that it is astonishing how the United Nations can exert excessive pressure, exploit resources from Congo, and occasionally harm Congolese citizens while also targeting Ugandans. These actions undermine the economic prospects of the people in the Great Lakes region. Museveni expressed his intention to collaborate with the Congolese government, leveraging the strength of Uganda’s security system. He highlighted the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), a Ugandan rebel group entrenched in the volatile jungles of Eastern Congo for years, which has been widely blamed for the attacks. Museveni conveyed his accusation to UN investigators, asserting that the United Nations bears responsibility for sustaining terrorism in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The question remains: who is behind the ADF, and how does this rebel group continue to exist despite facing troops from around the world, including UN peacekeepers? It seems implausible unless the UN peacekeepers have been instructed to feign their fight against these terrorists while allowing them to regroup and grow again. The recent attack was deemed by UN Secretary-General António Guterres as the most severe on the world body in recent history. The United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO), established in 2010, is the largest peacekeeping mission globally. However, it has faced challenges in neutralizing various rebel and militia factions in Eastern Congo, drawing criticism from Museveni.
