Joint forces of the UPDF-FARDC strike the ADF camp, recover weapons and explosives in eastern DRC

 

"The joint forces of the Ugandan People's Defence Forces (UPDF) and the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (FARDC), as part of the joint operation, Operation Shujaa, intensified operations against the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, striking a rebel camp west of the Epulu River and recovering a significant cache of weapons and bomb-making materials," announced a statement from this joint force of the Armed Forces of the DRC and the Ugandan army.

The two forces seized a cache of weapons, improvised explosive devices, a molding machine, and other assorted equipment. A number of ADF fighters were killed during the assault, while others fled with wounds.

Overseeing the offensive is the commander of Operation Shujaa, Major General Stephen Mugerwa, who coordinated directly with field units and pledged to maintain pressure on the insurgents until they are thoroughly neutralized.

"During the latest offensive, twelve captives were freed around Ofayee, near the Ndimo region. The former captives described harsh conditions during their time in the hands of the rebels, including physical abuse and forced labor."

 After FARDC's Drone Attacks In Rubaya: Is Major General Sultani Makenga Critically Injured, Dead, or in Hiding?

Major General Sultani Makenga and Brigadier General Justin Musanga Gaceri have neither been seen nor used their military communication channels or private lines from 24 February 2026 to today, 28 February 2026. They were expected to lead sweeping offensive operations against FARDC in Masisi Territory, North Kivu.

However, RDF-M23 operations in Masisi are currently being directed by war hardened - Colonel Séraphin Mirindi.

Sources indicate that Major General Makenga and Brigadier General Gaceri were critically injured in a FARDC drone strike near Rubaya on February 24, which killed M23 spokesperson Lt Col Willy Ngoma and other military officers of RDF-M23.

Key question: Is Criminal Paul Kagame’s boy - Major General Sultani Makenga critically injured, dead, or alive and simply conducting operations under the threat of predatory drones?

M23 decides to break all agreements,eyes offensives all the way to Kinshasha!

 

It's confirmed, the M23 has decided to break all agreements with Kinshasa and is preparing a nationwide offensive all the way to Kinshasa The M23 rebellion has reached a decisive turning point. At a highly strategic meeting held on February 26, the movement formalized the total and irreversible break with all negotiations with the regime of Félix Tshisekedi, according to a report by Basango News, which has infiltrated the M23 rebellion. The M23 no longer recognizes any regional or international agreements signed with Kinshasa. This decision marks a major escalation and completely redefines the balance of power on the ground. The movement justifies this break by the alleged assassination of several of its leaders, which it attributes to the Congolese authorities. In response, it announces a new phase of the conflict: a structured, coordinated, and nationwide military offensive. The stated objective: to reach and control Kinshasa, the political and strategic heart of the Democratic Republic of Congo. The cable mentions crucial support from Rwanda, which is reportedly providing surveillance and attack drones, sophisticated weaponry, and advanced logistical support to accelerate the rebel advance. Kigali has also promised substantial diplomatic and financial support to shield the movement from potential international sanctions. Simultaneously, Rwanda is reportedly conducting an active diplomatic offensive with American and European policymakers to counter any attempt at international pressure or isolation. This development marks a critical strategic turning point: the security crisis could escalate into a widespread national conflict with major regional repercussions. Faced with this threat, Basango News calls on the Congolese armed forces to be on high alert and to prepare for a high-intensity military confrontation.

Rwandan Air Force chopper seen flying in south kivu

Watch the video:

A Rwandan military fixed-wing aircraft, identified as a Cessna 208 Caravan, was spotted violating the airspace of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) over Minembwe, in South Kivu province. According to several local sources, the aircraft was allegedly used to supply weapons and logistical support to armed groups operating in the area, including the M23, the Rwandan Defence Forces (RDF), Red-Tabara, and the Twirwaneho group. This constitutes a blatant violation of Congolese sovereignty and a further breach of the Washington Peace Agreement, which Rwanda has not respected since its signing. The continuation of these operations fuels instability and seriously undermines peace efforts in eastern DRC.

Orange,Vodacom and airtel Networks Restored in Rubaya After 24-Hour Outage

After at least 24 hours of total disruption, mobile networks were restore in the mining town of Rubaya (Masisi territory) in North Kivu, and its surrounding areas.

The outage, which occurred on Tuesday, February 24, followed bombings that damaged the facilities of the three main antennas belonging to Vodacom, Orange, and Airtel in Rubaya, according to several sources on the ground. This damage occurred during clashes between the AFC/M23 rebels and the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (FARDC) and their allies, the Wazalendo militia.

Residents who had been deprived of communication services welcomed the reactivation of services with relief. Many mobile phone users emphasized the importance of connectivity for accessing information and communication.

The restoration of mobile money transfer services is also a relief for the local population, who rely heavily on them for their daily transactions.

During the outage, SMS and calls on the Vodacom network functioned erratically, while internet access was completely unavailable. Several residents of Rubaya now confirm that the internet is operational again.

However, the security situation remains tense in the area. Fighting intensified on Wednesday, February 25, in the village of Kasenyi, located in the Kibabi group. AFC/M23 rebels launched a counter-offensive against the Congolese army and its Wazalendo allies, who had taken control of the village last Sunday after several hours of clashes.

According to local sources, the rebels have redeployed in the area with reinforcements of men and ammunition. Their objective would be to retake Kasenyi and halt the advance of pro-government forces toward Rubaya, considered a strategic rebel stronghold in this part of Masisi territory.
