SUBJECT: INVITATION TO WITNESS THE HANDING OVER OF WEAPONRY
AND RELEVANT EX-COMBATANTS TO SADC

Your Excellencies,
As sustained in their various recent communiqués and official letters addressed to
international relevant authorities and institutions, the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of
Rwanda (FDLR) as peacemakers would love to confirm it again today, that they took a
unilateral commitment to lay down their weaponry and consecrate themselves to political
struggle.

By ways and means of the "Lusamambo Peace Offer Declaration" of 30th
December 2013,
FDLR as a politico-military organisation, whose combatants are exclusively freedom fighters,
initiated a benchmark peace process, whose outcomes will fully depend on the good will of
the international community, more particularly organisations and institutions which you
represent and of the solidarity of Heads of States mainly African, and your respective ability
to make RPF-INKOTANYI Rwandan current regime to realise both the need and necessity of
providing free, safe and secure physical and political space which for ages has been longed
for by all Rwandans as a nation and more particularly by the whole Rwandan political
opposition.
Your Excellencies,
The present letter serves as an invitation to you as to come and witness live the handing over
of FDLR's weaponry to the international–African relevant authorities, namely SADC. The
event in question is expected to take place at Buleusa/katiku in north kivu and at Lubumba in
south Kivu same day on the 30th May 2014.in republic democratic of Congo (DRC)
Furthermore, inasmuch as FDLR has already laid down its weaponry and embarked on
political struggle as from end of December 2013, FDLR would love to take the same
opportunity and request a humanitarian assistance from SADC with regard to both legal and
social protection of thousands of Rwandan refugee families (mostly women and children)
who have been totally abandoned by the international community since 1996 up to date, but
however, as they were under FDLR protection, have managed to survive by the grace of God
while facing their daily miserable fate within the eastern DRC.
Additionally, FDLR would like to request a favour from SADC as it intends to commit all its
ex-combatants under its (SADC) protection by means of quartering them in safe place under
SADC management, until the wished and hoped for "inter-Rwandan political dialogue",
frank, sincere and highly inclusive, between RPF-INKOTANYI current Rwandan regime and
FDLR together with all Rwandan political opposition organisations will have taken place and
have yielded substantial outcomes.
Your Excellencies,
Finally, FDLR would love once more to reiterate its heartfelt convictions as to what only and
only genuine political dialogue between Rwandan incumbent President-General Paul
KAGAME and his political opposition (more particularly FDLR, which must be considered
an unavoidable stake holder as far as Rwandan political issues are concerned) is the only
efficient (and apparently sufficient) means of restoring peace and stability within the African
Great Lakes Region, as on the one hand, it would obviously enable Rwandan refugees to
voluntary repatriate back to their darling mother land, with respect and human dignity, and on
the other hand, it would also prevent for good those perpetuating attacks of Rwandan troops
on DRC.
Your Excellencies,
While FDLR is looking forward to having all your support as to materialise the present noble
endeavour for the needed and sooner restoration of peace and stability within the African
Great Lakes Region, FDLR begs you once more please to accept its heartfelt expression of its
highest consideration.
