Two civilians killed by ADF in mavete

At least two civilians were killed by ADF rebels in Mavete, about 6 km west of Oicha, while they were going to their fields on Saturday, February 14, 2026.

The bodies were taken to the morgue at Oicha General Hospital. Deputy Mayor Jean de Dieu Kambale Kibwana is calling on the population to be vigilant, emphasizing that the enemy is present in several localities in the western part of the commune (Mavete, Musandaba, Miliése, Katendere, Kasopo).

He stated that the army has been informed and that joint patrols will be organized to secure the area. In addition, two other residents were abducted on Friday in Mambalasa, near Buloloma, and their fate remains unknown.

Angolan President João Lourenço has relinquished the chairmanship of the African Union to Evariste Ndayishimire of Burundi.

 

Lourenço's term had begun in February 2025, and this was one of the reasons that led him to withdraw from the mediation efforts in the Congolese crisis. Shortly before stepping down as head of the African Union, Angola had announced that it would host the next inter-Congolese dialogue.

DRC gorvenment accusing MTN

 According to our sources in Kinshasha,The Congolese government is accusing the telecommunications network of MTN of operating on its territory and using its frequencies without authorization.

The Minister of Posts and Telecommunications, José Mpanda Kabangu, the president of the ARPTC (Congolese Regulatory Authority for Post and Telecommunications), and the heads of Airtel, Orange, and Vodacom met with the Prime Minister to discuss this issue.

Congolese shocked that an MP elected in Uganda was once an MP candidate in DRC!

 

For over a week ,I have been carrying out an investigation into this matter and according to numerous OSINT collections from various social media sources ,DRC national archives and HUMINT collections from various political elites from Kinshasha,there are rumours and claims that a national deputy(MP) in Mahagi (DRC) may have been voted as an MP to the parliament of Uganda though there are claims of him having been an MP in DRC.

The person in this case is claimed to have been elected as a national deputy in Mahagi, Ituri, DRC, in names of Agenong'a Robert Terra who was also elected as an MP in Uganda during the recent elections as presented in the pictures below.

His election in Uganda is seen by many Congolese elites as a scandal that could cause a major uproar shaking the political scene. Robert Agenonga, a national MP elected in 2023 in the Mahagi territory of Ituri, with nearly 20,000 votes, finds himself at the center of an unexpected controversy.This politician has been elected MP in Uganda in 2026, a situation that raises numerous questions about dual political membership and the legal implications.

Claims are that he was elected under the banner of the 4AC political coalition, which is close to former Deputy Prime Minister Peter Kazadi and current Deputy Minister of Defense Eliezer Ntambwe, Robert Agenonga enjoys a certain degree of local popularity, particularly for his commitment to environmental and nature conservation in Mahagi. However, his alleged election in another country, namely Uganda, has created a political earthquake.

The details of this affair remain unclear, but its revelation could have major implications in the regional political context. The question of the legality of this double election and any potential sanctions has not yet been resolved.

In the photo above ,the claim is that he contested for a member of parliament in DRC 

In this photo above,in picture no1,he is represented as a Ugandan!

Now,the question is,how can someone become a member of parliament or represent people from two different countries????

Meeting held in assessing the Operation Shujaa

According to Intelligence reaching us ,Lieutenant General Ychaligonza Nduru Jacques chaired a meeting in Beni on Tuesday to assess the joint SHUJAA operations between the FARDC (Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo) and the UPDF (United People's Democratic Movement). The meeting, attended by his Ugandan counterpart Kayanja Muhanga, focused on the hunt for the ADF (Allied Democratic Forces) and adapting strategies to address emerging threats.we had earlier an intelligence report on a civilian meeting held in Beni that called for the review of Shujaa operations due to frustration from recurring ADF attacks.

The meeting assessed progress in the fight against the terrorist group and reaffirmed the joint forces’ commitment to eliminating ADF elements and restoring stability in the Kivu and Ituri provinces.

Addressing the joint commanders and staff, the Commander of the UPDF Land Forces, Lieutenant General Kayanja Muhanga, emphasised the need for sustained joint training and disciplined coordination.

“If we are to achieve commendable results against the enemy, we must rehearse together, train together, brief together, and plan together,” Lt Gen Muhanga said.

FARDC’s Deputy Chief of General Staff for Operations and Intelligence, Lieutenant General Tchalingoza Nduru Jacques, commended the joint forces for their sustained efforts in restoring calm across affected areas. He also expressed appreciation for the UPDF’s engineering contributions, particularly in the rehabilitation of key road networks, including the Kasindi–Beni, Beni–Biakato, Biakato–Mangina, and Komanda–Luna roads.

“These roads are not only strategic for security operations but also vital for economic recovery in the region,” he noted.

He further revealed that several hostages had been rescued during recent operations and that a number of suspected collaborators had been arrested.

The Commander of the UPDF Mountain Infantry Division, Major General Stephen Mugerwa, praised his FARDC counterparts for their cooperation and swift response during joint operations.

Operation Shujaa, a joint military offensive launched in November 2021 by the UPDF and FARDC, was initiated after President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni of Uganda and President Félix Tshisekedi of the DRC agreed to coordinate efforts to eliminate the terrorist group operating in Eastern Congo.

While tactical successes were acknowledged, both parties recognized the continued attacks in Beni, Lubero, and Ituri, calling for a strengthening of security efforts.

Recurrent ADF attacks leaves Byambwe as a ghost villagee

 

Located approximately 65 kilometers from Butembo, the village of Byambwe now resembles a true ghost town. The atrocities attributed to the ADF rebels have profoundly disrupted the lives of its inhabitants.

On the night of November 14, 2025, at least 28 people were massacred. Two months later, on the morning of January 13, 2026, another attack claimed the lives of 6 more civilians. Since these tragedies, the population has fled en masse and is only returning tentatively.

Upon entering the grounds of Saint Paul Parish in Byambwe, visitors are greeted by weeds that have overgrown the once bustling pathways, a symbol of the area's gradual abandonment. According to Father Ghislain Katsere, the situation is dire.

"The situation is macabre… Twenty-eight people were massacred here on the night of November 14th, and then another six on the morning of January 13th."

Behind the parish church, the hospital is closed. The congregation of nuns who ran it have left, and the medical staff refuse to return out of fear.

"The health centers are closed, even burned down." “The healthcare staff no longer want to come because of fear,” laments Father Katsere.

Despite this persistent insecurity, two priests have chosen to remain to maintain a spiritual presence among the few parishioners. Father Katsere emphasizes, “We are still two priests here. It is very difficult, but it is our faith in Christ that keeps us going.”

The violence that struck the Lubero territory, Bapere sector, now appears to be spreading to new areas of the Beni territory. In the Malio group, Bashu chiefdom, 15 primary schools and 8 secondary schools have suspended their activities for nearly a week and a half due to the insecurity.

Since Monday, January 26, 2026, schools in the villages of Vurondo, Kisasa Ndondi, Kivira, Kisungu Vulera, and Kyondo Kitumbu have remained closed following repeated attacks attributed to the ADF/NALU in the Mwenye area (Lubero) and in Vurondo (Malio). This situation is severely disrupting the school calendar, as secondary school students are currently taking exams.

The affected populations have sought refuge in Butuhe and Butembo, considered safer, while civil society is calling on the government to intensify efforts to restore peace and allow schools to resume normal operations.

Hostages killed!

Two Pygmy citizens, held hostage by the ADF since February 6, 2026, were found dead on February 9 in Abulembi, in the village of Bwanasura/Otomabere.

They were returning from hunting when, upon encountering the ADF, they refused to be used as trackers, which led to their execution, according to a survivor.

Upon their arrival at the Bwanasura/Otomabere market, a wave of grief swept through friends and family. The widow of Dunga was rescued after attempting suicide upon discovering the bodies of her husband and her younger brother, Mapimbo.
