卢旺达外交部长周三表示，卢旺达不应成为刚果民主共和国发生事件的“替罪羊”，因为这两个邻国正在就东部刚果民主共和国的战斗责任展开争执。
刚果民主共和国已遭受冲突困扰三十年，最近一次是M23武装组织发动的武装叛乱，刚果民主共和国政府和联合国专家称该组织得到卢旺达支持。
Rwanda should not be a "scapegoat" for events in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda's foreign minister said Wednesday, as the neighbours battle over responsibility for fighting in eastern DR Congo.DR Congo has been beset by conflict for three decades, most recently an armed insurgency by the M23 armed group that the DR Congo government and UN experts say is backed by Rwanda.
2025年，M23武装和卢旺达军队的攻势攻占了东部刚果民主共和国的大片领土，尽管卢旺达和刚果民主共和国在美国斡旋下于去年12月达成和平协议，但冲突仍在持续。
An offensive by M23 and the Rwandan army captured large swathes of eastern DR Congo in 2025, and clashes have continued despite a US-brokered peace agreement between Rwanda and the DR Congo last December.
该地区还正在应对一场已导致近5000人死亡的埃博拉疫情。美国周三对卢旺达国防部和一家卢旺达金融机构实施制裁，理由是它们涉嫌支持“M23”组织。卢旺达外交部长奥利维耶·恩杜洪吉雷在莫斯科举行的俄罗斯-非洲峰会间隙对法新社表示：“刚果（金）的局势，政治局势、安全局势，主要是刚果人的问题。”他是在美国实施制裁前发表上述言论的。
The region is also grappling with an Ebola epidemic that has killed nearly 5,000 people. The United States on Wednesday imposed sanctions on the Rwandan defence ministry and a Rwandan financial institution over their alleged support for M23." The situation in the DRC, the political situation, the security situation, is mainly a Congolese issue," Rwandan Foreign Minister Olivier Nduhungirehe told AFP on the sidelines of a Russia-Africa summit in Moscow, before the US sanctions were imposed."
他还说：“卢旺达不能永远被当作刚果正在发生的事情的替罪羊。”恩杜洪吉雷还驳斥了金沙萨方面的指控，即刚果（金）前总统约瑟夫·卡比拉是本月的与“M23”联手后成为卢旺达的“代理人”。恩杜洪吉雷说：“这是一个政治问题，必须由刚果人通过政治途径解决。”联合国专家表示，卢旺达对“M23”行使着重大控制权，并继续在其邻国部署数千名士兵，卢旺达一再否认这一指控。
Rwanda must not be held as a scapegoat for what is happening in Congo forever," he added. Nduhungirehe also pushed back at Kinshasa's allegations that former DR Congo president Joseph Kabila was a Rwandan "proxy", after he joined forces with M23 this month." It is a political issue that must be settled politically between the Congolese," Nduhungirehe said.UN experts say Rwanda exercises significant control over M23 and continues to deploy thousands of troops in its neighbour, an accusation Rwanda has repeatedly denied.
卢旺达表示，它面临来自刚果（金）东部刚果民兵组织的生存威胁，这些民兵组织由参与1994年卢旺达图西族种族灭绝的胡图族成员创立。——“遣返中心”——恩杜洪吉雷还证实，有关在卢旺达为被欧盟国家驱逐的移民建立所谓“遣返中心”的讨论正在进行中。丹麦、奥地利、希腊、德国和荷兰已寻求建立这样一个中心，但尚未说明地点。
Rwanda says that it faces an existential threat from Congolese militias in eastern DR Congo east that were founded by ethnic Hutus involved in the 1994 genocide of Tutsis in Rwanda.- 'Return hub' -Nduhungirehe also confirmed that discussions were under way on the creation of a so-called "return hub" in Rwanda for migrants expelled from the European Union countries. Denmark, Austria, Greece, Germany and the Netherlands have sought to create such a centre, but have not yet said where.
据三位了解谈判情况的欧洲人士透露，卢旺达与这五个欧洲国家之间的协议最早可能于下个月签署。恩杜洪吉雷说：“由于讨论仍在进行中，我当然不能详细谈论。”他还说：“这对我们来说是一个非常敏感的问题，因为我们想给予人、移民、难民以尊严。”
An agreement between Rwanda and the five European countries could be signed as early as next month, according to three people in Europe briefed on the negotiations." Since the discussions are still ongoing, I cannot of course dwell on them," Nduhungirehe said." This is a very sensitive issue for us, since we want to give dignity to human beings, to migrants, to refugees," he added.
