In a global landscape where the proliferation of disinformation, misinformation, and hate speech poses a threat to peacekeeping efforts, the imperative for a proactive and resolute approach to safeguarding civilian lives took center stage at the United Nations preparatory conference in Kigali on Monday, October 23.
Minister of Defence Juvenal Marizamunda underscored the significance of addressing the escalating challenges faced by peacekeeping missions worldwide.
Drawing from Rwanda's tragic history, Marizamunda highlighted the devastating repercussions of disinformation and extremist propaganda, which had culminated in mass atrocities. He expressed concern about the persistence of such dangerous ideologies, notably exemplified by the activities of the FDLR in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.
Acknowledging the detrimental impact of information manipulation on community trust and the efficacy of peacekeeping operations, Minister Marizamunda emphasized the urgency of bridging capacity gaps through digital literacy and the integration of strategic communication at all levels of command.
