re: CNN: Chants about killing white people in South Africa need “historical context.”

There is evidence suggesting that the Congolese government is not directly expelling people or taking land on a large scale, but the situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is complex due to ongoing conflict, particularly in the eastern regions. Instead, most reports point to actions by the M23 rebel group, which has been accused of forcibly expelling people and controlling land, especially in areas like Goma. For instance, a post on X from May 18, 2025, claimed that M23 rebels, who control parts of eastern Congo, have been expelling thousands of individuals they label as "illegal Rwandan nationals". This aligns with reports of M23's territorial control and displacement activities, often tied to ethnic tensions and Rwanda's alleged backing.[](LINK [](LINK

On the government side, there’s no clear evidence from recent sources confirming widespread land seizures or expulsions by the Congolese state itself. However, the government has been criticized for its handling of the conflict, including allegations of aligning with militias like the FDLR, which could indirectly contribute to displacement. President Tshisekedi’s administration has also been linked to deals involving mineral wealth, which some speculate could involve land use agreements, but these are more about resource extraction than explicit land grabs. The government’s focus appears to be on countering M23 and managing humanitarian crises, like recent flooding, rather than orchestrating mass expulsions or land confiscations.[](LINK [](LINK [](LINK

That said, posts on X from October 2024 highlight broader claims of over 6 million people displaced in eastern Congo, living in tents, with some alleging that armed groups (not necessarily the government) are taking land and forcing locals into labor for resource extraction. These claims, while unverified in detail, reflect the chaotic situation where land control is contested, but they don’t directly implicate the government in systematic expulsions or seizures.

The conflict’s complexity—rebel control, ethnic disputes, and resource competition—makes it hard to pin down a single actor like the government as the primary culprit. Always worth digging deeper into specific incidents, as narratives can be skewed.

All that you copied and paste… is one side of the argument… you only proved you had no idea until my post that this was even going on… evident by your question of was it happening anywhere else…

Are they sure they want to start using "context?"

Zero context excuses it

Wtf?? Define large scale, then how many white farmers must before it's considered " large scale".

CNN: "historical context"



"mostly peaceful" threats of genocide, you see.

Are suggesting this same thing isn’t happening in other countries

The present context of take our land back and kill the white farmers and white farmers being disproportionately murdered is more important.

Doesn’t sound like you know what’s goin on in Congo.
You can’t present information to support.

Perhaps, your opinion is “good” as you say because of your personal feelings…you could clear that up with some concrete info, but you either can’t or won’t.

“Obvious favor for Elon” would be plausible were it not for the facts..
