Joseph Kabila's interview with La Libre Belgique at his residence in Goma

   

 La Libre Belgique: "Your presence in Goma, home of AFC/M23 raises questions? "
    Joseph Kabila Kabange "Goma, it's my home. Welcoming you to the house I bought in 1999. The incitement against myself and my political family has begun since 2019. Long before the birth of AFC/M23. I believe that I have the right to be in contact and talk with all Congolese with cohesion and the search for peace as my main objective. For me, it's even a mission."
    ====================
    La Libre Belgique: "Could you say, as Corneille Nangaa, the coordinator of the AFC/M23 and former boss of the Independent National Electoral Commission (Ceni), "I was the one who put Felix Tshisekedi in power, it's my turn to make him go"?
    Joseph Kabila Kabange : I leave these words to Corneille Nangaa. In 2019 my political family signed an agreement with Cach (Tshisekedi and Kamerhe platform, NdlR). We had a parliamentary majority in the house and Senate, Tshisekedi could not govern without that majority. So this political partnership has been created so that there will be a peaceful management of state affairs until the next elections. Tshisekedi and his political family then vowed there was never a deal. Unfortunately for them, there is only one copy, and I kept it because I knew if I gave it to them, it would immediately be on social media. "
    ===================
    La Libre Belgique: "Speaking of the Constitution, in Kinshasa, the regime no longer hides its intention to revise it. "
    Joseph Kabila Kabange "What Constitution? For Kinshasa, it doesn't exist. She's been ignored since 2019. So what are they going to review exactly? I think the idea is rather the adoption of a new Constitution. All this tripping is dangerous, extremely dangerous. "
    ===================
    Joseph Kabila Kabange "Many talk about Balkanization, I talk about the "sudanization" of the crisis in DRC. There are common points between what our country is going through and what brought about the implosion of Sudan" Joseph Kabila. "
    ===================
    Joseph Kabila Kabange "We have always been targeted by the Kinshasa regime. Have i been targeted personally? Is it the Congolese population that has been targeted as it has been for months in the Masisi, on the Hauts Plateau or everywhere else? Investigations are underway. But I keep my spirits up"
    ===================
    Joseph Kabila Kabange "I'm not thinking about tomorrow, I'm thinking about today. I already said it last May, we have to end this dictatorship, this tyranny that has just set in. And to achieve this, we must mobilize and raise awareness of all Congolese, whether they are in exile or inside the country. It should be a mission for each of us. And to end this regime, the Congolese have at their disposal article 64 of the Constitution (Every Congolese has the obligation to fail any individual or group of individuals who takes power by force or exercise in violation of the Constitution, NdlR)".
    ====================
    Joseph Kabila Kabange "The way things are going, I think Belgium is disqualifying. His ability to go along with the current regime is amazing. Belgium needs to pull itself together and I see that at your place there are people who are aware of all this. Little by little they are trying to correct the shot. I also want to say bravo to the Belgian justice that is interested in the harmful role of many Belgian citizens in Congo. But Belgium also has this ability to challenge itself. That's what I wish for anyway"
     

NIRA facing challenges!!!

According to reports reaching us, the National Identification and Registration Authority (NIRA), the very institution entrusted with defining the identity of every Ugandan, is now itself facing an identity crisis after a bombshell Auditor General’s report exposed a trail of inefficiencies(Read more here), delays, system failures and internal chaos that have left millions of citizens stranded without national IDs.

What shocks many is that NIRA itself does not even have a permanent head office. The authority is operating from temporary premises at Kololo Independence Grounds, a situation critics say undermines both efficiency and public confidence.

M23 denies withdrawing from bukavu

 The AFC/M23 denies a statement attributed to it concerning its alleged withdrawal from the city of Bukavu in South Kivu province. Its spokesperson, Lawrence Kanyuka, attributes this message to the Kinshasa regime against which they are fighting and believes it is a smokescreen intended to distract from the drone attack in Goma that killed a humanitarian worker. "The Kinshasa regime is spreading false information and the most blatant disinformation in an attempt to divert attention from the assassination of the UNICEF employee, perpetrated by its forces on March 11, 2026. This is an act of extreme gravity, which cannot be erased or concealed by repeated lies," he wrote on his Twitter account.

The Assassination of Ali Larijani — How Israel's Mossad Took Out Iran's Last Leader.

He was walking openly through the streets of Tyrron. No disguise, no armored convoy, no underground bunker, just a man in a suit marching with the crowds, surrounded by government loyalists, chanting slogans against Israel and the United States. It was March 13th, 2026, Iran's annual goods day rally. And somewhere above him, invisible, silent, and already transmitting his exact coordinates back to an Israeli intelligence operation center, a surveillance asset, had locked on.

Ali Larajani, the man who had become the Islamic Republic's most powerful figure even before Supreme Leader Kamani was killed. The man running what remained of Iran's entire security and strategic apparatus, the deacto leader of a regime at war. walking in the open on camera, filmed by his own government's media, and unknowingly handing Israel everything it needed.

3 days later, he was dead. What went wrong? What did Israeli intelligence know? And how did the most devastating targeted killing operation since Operation Epic Fury began end the deacto leadership of the Islamic Republic in a single night? 

 We cover the operations the world is still trying to understand. To grasp why Larajani's death sent shock waves far beyond the immediate military context, why Israel's defense minister said publicly that he had joined Kamani in the depths of hell. You have to start further back. Not with the air strike, not with the targeting operation, with the man himself, with what he had built, what he represented, and why the Islamic Republic had no obvious replacement for him the moment he was gone.

 Ali Ardashir Larajani entered the world on June 3rd, 1958 in Njaf, the Iraqi city that served for centuries as one of the most sacred sites in Shia Islam, home to the shrine of Imam Ali. His father was Grand Ayatollah Mesa Hashem Amolei, a religious authority of the highest rank in the Shia hierarchy. That combination of clerical prestige and political gravity would shape every turn of Laurani's career in the decades ahead and give the Lajani name a weight inside the Islamic Republic that few families could match.

His brothers Sade and Muhammad Javad occupied senior positions at the apex of Iran's judicial and diplomatic establishment for years, extending the family's reach into every corner of the system. and Ali was the most powerful of them all. His academic background was unusual for the world he entered. He earned a degree in computer science from Sharif University of Technology, Iran's most prestigious technical institution before completing graduate and doctoral studies in philosophy at the University of Tan. That combination gave him

something rare in a political class dominated by clerics and military men. intellectual credibility that translated across rooms. He could speak the language of strategic theory with the same precision he applied to everything else. After the revolution of 1979, he joined the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in its formative years and served during the Iran Iraq war.

 8 years of catastrophic conflict that forged an entire generation of Iranian officials in shared ideology and shared sacrifice. The war gave him IRGC connections he would rely on for the rest of his career and the one credential the revolutionary system valued above almost everything else.

 He had been there when it cost something. His institutional rise came through media before it came through the security sector. From 1994 to 2004, he ran the Islamic Republic of Iran broadcasting, a decade at the helm of the state's entire information infrastructure, building networks, managing narratives, and mastering the machinery of political messaging inside the Islamic Republic.

 Then in 2005, President Ahmed Jad appointed him secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, the body at the center of every consequential decision Iran makes about war, nuclear weapons, and foreign adversaries. He served in that role until 2007, accumulating institutional knowledge about Iran's most sensitive decision-making processes that no subsequent position would erase.

VDP-Wazalendo Front Grand-Nord fighters launch an offensive against the ADF

VDP-Wazalendo Front Grand-Nord fighters launch an offensive against the ADF in the forested areas of the Beni, Lubero, and Mambasa territories. They launched an offensive in the locality of Ilota, where they are continuing their operations. These operations are being conducted under the command of Kambale Riguen, alias PKM. Officials assure that the actions will continue until the targeted armed groups and their allies are neutralized. 

ADF intensifies terror attacks on Mambasa

The increasing number of attacks by ADF rebels on the Kisangani axis and around the Okapi Wildlife Reserve (RFO) in Ituri raises serious concerns.

According to several sources, these fighters are believed to have moved from Bapere (Lubero, North Kivu) to Babesua in Mambasa territory, where a recent attack has killed at least 19.

According to intelligence collections from civilians ,this terror progression is believed to extend towards Mambasa-Center, with a possible aim to lay grand attacks on the Walese-Karo zone on the Mambasa-Isiro axis.

These moves come in the context of increased military pressure from the FARDC and the UPDF against some ADF strongholds in the region.

The local population calls on the UPDF and FARDC to take the matter seriously before other scores of innocent civilians are killed by the terrorists.
