Kagame's regime just got crowned Africa's #1 country for "fighting corruption" by the Mo Ibrahim Foundation. Sounds great. Here's what that ranking can't see. A few weeks after it came out, Rwanda's national pension fund @RSSB_Rwanda bought @AlwaysInyange Industries and Ruliba

@SamuelBaker_B Let's not forget that Belgium is directly involved in this conflict. As one of the belligerent parties, its claims cannot be accepted at face value and should be independently verified 135 views · 1 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

@SamuelBaker_B I am just shocked they can't know how much #FDLR are roaming freely in the same DRC or even more those that are integrated in the FARDC. https://t.co/LdhJzNI3GC

Belgium's Royal Higher Institute for Defence (e-Note 103) puts Rwandan Defence Forces at 14,000-18,000 troops inside eastern #DRCongo as of July 2026 with air defence, UAVs and rocket launchers it calls essential to M23's advances. Add Rwanda's role laundering looted Congolese ht

Rwanda's tantalum exports have nearly tripled in five years. Its own geology can't produce it. The difference is trafficked out of DR Congo along militarized routes and then laundered into the supply chains of trillion-dollar tech firms claiming to be "conflict-free." 2K views · 24 likes · 17 reposts · 2 replies Open on X →

Grateful for my time in Bosnia and Herzegovina 🇧🇦. I climbed Apparition Hill in Medjugorje and sat with the Franciscans at the old cross that told Francis of Assisi to rebuild, not to command. When everyone else picked up a sword, Francis walked into the Sultan’s tent just to ht

@SamuelBaker_B You're not as important as you think Byansi, people disagree with you, the simplest explanation is that your constant attacks on Rwanda attract responses. If you’re free to criticize Rwanda every day, why shouldn’t others be free to challenge your narrative? 315 views · 5 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

@SamuelBaker_B You think that you can attack Rwanda, tarnish its image, and expect people to just ignore you? Who do you think you are? 401 views · 4 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

@SamuelBaker_B Oh, please! Who exactly are you that Rwanda would waste its time targeting you? 😂 Rwanda has plenty of real issues to deal with. Stop flattering yourself. You’re clearly just chasing attention and trying to make money by attaching your name to Rwanda. 248 views · 0 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

A new investigation maps the machine built to silence me. 100+ coordinated X accounts swarming every post I make on Kagame and his regime, AI-generated caricatures, and my late mother's name (Muteteri) weaponized into a hashtag to harass me.
