[Rwanda Forum] Rwanda's Refusal to Reopen Goma Airport After the Paris Conference: A Confirmation of the Ongoing Balkanisation of the DRC

Rwanda's Refusal to Reopen Goma Airport After the Paris Conference: A Confirmation of the Ongoing Balkanisation of the DRC

Introduction: A Missed Diplomatic Turning Point

On 30 October 2025, Paris hosted a major diplomatic event: the Conference in Support of Peace and Prosperity in the Great Lakes Region. This meeting, chaired by French President Emmanuel Macron and conducted with regional facilitator Faure Essozimna Gnassingbé, President of Togo, aimed to revive a political dynamic capable of halting the deterioration of security in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). It brought together governments, international donors, multilateral institutions and humanitarian agencies, all aware of the humanitarian emergency and the geopolitical stakes of the region.

At the end of the discussions, the conference announced the mobilisation of approximately €1.5 billion, a sum intended to support stabilisation, humanitarian assistance, reconstruction and economic recovery. One of the central recommendations concerned the immediate reopening of Goma International Airport, an essential infrastructure for security, the economy and humanitarian operations. Yet despite the international agreement, Rwanda categorically opposed it. This refusal is far from a simple logistical disagreement; it is a decisive step confirming that the progressive balkanisation of the DRC is underway.

The Responsibility of the International Community in the Crisis in Eastern DRC: Diplomatic Ambiguity, Deliberate Inaction, and Moral Failure.

Introduction: A Deepening Crisis Worsened by International Silence

The crisis in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has reached a critical point, marked by intensifying violence, the occupation of vast territories by the M23 rebel movement, the active involvement of Rwanda, and a humanitarian collapse affecting millions of civilians.
One of the most striking symbols of this situation is the persistent refusal to reopen Goma International Airport—an essential infrastructure for the survival of the local population and for the sovereignty of the DRC.

Yet during the Conference for Peace and Prosperity in the Great Lakes Region, held in Paris on 30 October 2025, states and international institutions unanimously recommended the immediate reopening of the airport. This measure was meant to ensure humanitarian access, restart economic activity, and gradually restore Congolese state authority.
Despite this consensus, no government, no international organisation, and no global power demanded its implementation. Rwanda categorically rejected the recommendation, and the international community accepted this rejection through its silence.

This situation raises a fundamental question: how can such a grave and well-documented crisis persist under the watch of the international community without it fulfilling its moral and legal obligations?
This article offers an in-depth analysis of international responsibility, highlighting the behaviour of leading powers, regional organisations, and the United Nations, and examining their moral, political, and legal implications.

Re : [Rwanda Forum] DRC: Congo's constitutional court upholds election results, declares President Tshisekedi the winner.

L'homme aux milliers de promesses dont aucune n'a jamais été  tenue... On va voir si son slogan de campagne de chasser KAGAME et de libérer toute la RDC n'aura été qu'une simple fabrication, comme son faux diplôme... Ou alors c'est lui qui pourraît être chassé avant 🤔  En tout cas on aura tout vu... Autant l'état de délabrement de ce pays est tellement affligeant,  autant la mentalité de ceux qui l'habitent fait peur... Par où commencer ? Seul DIEU peut  faire un miracle 🙆🙏🙆 Madochka-Bica  De : 'Nzi Nink' via Rwanda Forum <rwandaforum@googlegroups.com> Envoyé : mercredi 10 janvier 2024 03:12 À : Nzi Nink <nzinink@yahoo.com> Objet : [Rwanda Forum] DRC: Congo's constitutional court upholds election results, declares President Tshisekedi the winner.    DRC: Congo's constitutional court upholds election results, declares President Tshisekedi the winner. https://apnews.com/a...

[Rwanda Forum] L’importance de la réactivation de la CEPGL pour promouvoir la coopération et la prévention des conflits dans la région des Grands Lacs africains
