Descriptions

Captain Jean-Pierre Niragire holds the leading position of commander of the Rwanda Defense Forces (RDF) special forces deployed in the North Kivu region of the DRC from May 2022 onward. As commander of the RDF special forces deployed in the North Kivu region, Jean Pierre Niragire is therefore responsible for providing support to the armed group M23/ARC, which sustains the armed conflict, instability and insecurity in the DRC, in particular by providing it with troops and materiel. The objective of the RDF military actions on the DRC territory has been to reinforce the March 23 Movement/Congolese Revolutionary Army (Mouvement du 23 mars/Armée révolutionnaire congolaise – M23/ARC), a non-governmental armed group operating in Eastern DRC, in particular by providing it with troops and materiel. The M23/ARC sustains the armed conflict, instability and insecurity in the DRC, and is responsible for serious human rights abuses in that country, in particular through attacks against civilians and the Congolese armed forces (FARDC), killings, torture, rapes and forced labour, such as a series of killings targeting civilians in the town of Kisheshe on 29 November 2022.

Le capitaine Jean-Pierre Niragire occupe la fonction dirigeante de commandant des forces spéciales des Forces de défense rwandaises déployées dans la région du Nord-Kivu de la RDC depuis mai 2022. L'objectif des actions militaires des Forces de défense rwandaises sur le territoire de la RDC est de renforcer le Mouvement du 23 mars/Armée révolutionnaire congolaise (M23/ARC), un groupe armé non gouvernemental opérant dans l'est de la RDC, notamment en lui fournissant des troupes et du matériel. Le M23/ARC entretient le conflit armé, l'instabilité et l'insécurité en RDC et est responsable de graves atteintes aux droits de l'homme dans ce pays, en particulier en se livrant à des attaques contre des civils et les forces armées congolaises (FARDC), ainsi qu'à des assassinats, des tortures et des viols et en recourant au travail forcé, ayant entre autres commis une série d'assassinats visant des civils dans la ville de Kishishe le 29 novembre 2022. En tant que commandant des forces spéciales des Forces de défense rwandaises déployées dans la région du Nord-Kivu, Jean-Pierre Niragire est donc responsable du soutien apporté au groupe armé M23/ARC, qui entretient le conflit armé, l'instabilité et l'insécurité en RDC, notamment en lui fournissant des troupes et du matériel.
