situation...Wazalendo and M23 claim victories in Fizi

The security situation remains tense in the Fizi highlands

Contrary to some circulating rumors, the security situation remains very tense in the Fizi highlands.

According to our sources on the ground, the town of Angúlé is indeed under the control of the M23 Twirwaneho/AFC rebels. No FARDC or Wazalendo forces have repelled them so far.

Important clarification: we never claimed that the rebels had already entered Mulima. We indicated that they were at the gates of this town. To date, no FARDC member has been able to provide a video from Angúlé dated Sunday, September 6, proving otherwise.

Furthermore, several sources close to the security situation indicate that Blackwater mercenaries under Erik Prince have regrouped in Uvira. According to these same sources, Uvira is considered a strategic location allowing them to retreat should the area fall under rebel control.

We call for an end to the intimidation, death threats, and arrests targeting journalists. The population has the right to be informed of the true situation in the country.

AUGUSTIN KURATABO, FORMER SPOKESPERSON FOR THOMAS LUBANGA'S CRP, ARRESTED IN UGANDA

 

According  to our transborder mobile spies,a significant development has shaken the Great Lakes region. Augustin Kuratabo, alias "Aksante Sana," former spokesperson for the rebel movement CRP led by Thomas Lubanga, was arrested this Sunday, September 6, 2026, in Uganda by local intelligence services. This arrest comes just one week after that of Denise Dusauchoy in Tanzania, amidst a intensified fight against armed groups in eastern DRC.

The charges against him are yet to be specified, but this arrest could mark a further step in the hunt for rebel networks active in the region. The Great Lakes region continues to be the scene of a fierce struggle against insecurity, and each arrest reinforces the commitment of regional authorities to this fight.

Frontline Reports!M23 may capture mulima tonight!

According to reports from our agents along FIZI - POINT ZERO AXIS: Angúlé falls, rebels at the gates of Mulima.

This Sunday, September 6, 2026, the security situation remains very volatile in the Fizi territory, along the so-called Point_Zero axis.

According to concurring local sources, the town of #Angúlé, in the Bashilocha group, Tanganyika sector, has fallen under the control of elements of the #M23/Twirwaneho-AFC coalition.

Also according to our sources, these same rebels are now at the entrance to the town of Mulima. They are reportedly determined to seize Mulima, Lumanya, and Mukela, before continuing their advance towards Baraka and Fizi-Centre (Kalembelembe).

On the ground, several mercenaries identified as belonging to Blackwater have reportedly already retreated towards Uvira.

Faced with this advance, the population of Fizi, already suffering from a prolonged telephone and internet outage, remains largely deprived of information about the evolving security situation in their own territory.

The government is urged to tell the truth to the population and restore communications. Stop the intimidation: the population has a right to information.
