As some assailants and rebel groups hoodwink the government of DRC on dropping down weapons,Authorities in DRC blame various rebel militants in Eastern DRC on neighbouring countries

Following a mission carried out ,Monday, July 13, 2020 in the Kambutso village of the Bedu-Ezekere grouping in Djugu territory by the delegation of ex Lendu warlords sent from Kinshasa by the Congolese President Félix Tshisekedi, a faction of the CODECO rebel group said he was ready to lay down his arms and start a peace process with the government.
Tchusta Douglas, nicknamed "Little wolf of the mountain", spokesman for this rebel unit who addressed the members of the delegation, justified the abuses carried out by his movement against the civilian population for 3 years by the concern of " fight against the balkanization of the Congo "and" the protection of the Lendu populations of Djugu against military harassment ".
"We have waged this fight across the whole province of Ituri because our borders are porous, neighboring countries threaten us, notably Uganda's ADF / NALU, Rwanda with its Banyabwisha and the Tutsi , whose main mission is none other than the balkanization of our country "he launched in remarks to various media outlets in the area., He also added:
"Our presence is very necessary and compulsory to stifle these different foreign movements."
Among the requirements, the development of a site for their regrouping with better care as well as an amnesty for all crimes committed by CODECO elements and the recognition of their ranks within the army.
To the provincial authorities, the CODECO militia requests the rehabilitation of all the Lendu chiefs suspended in a manner deemed "illegal" and the resuscitation of all the chiefs of the sectors of the Lendu entities who are accused of "having fled by abandoning their population" while they feared for their safety.
CODECO also posed as a condition for its demobilization, the immediate and unconditional release of all Lendu subjects arrested by the police, many of whom had already been convicted by the military justice system.
Floribert Ndjabu, head of the delegation who received the specifications for this CODECO unit, said he was confident after the meeting and promised to share them with the competent authorities.
A first attempt to canton some 300 CODECO militiamen in Kpandroma last year had been unsuccessful, only a few weeks had been enough for the rebels to return to the bush denouncing poor care by the Congolese authorities.
