Bertrand Bisimwa: ′′ M23 ex-fighters have never taken any fight initiative and do not intend to take it ′′

For him, there has never been a clash between FARDC and M23 in the Rutshuru. He accuses FARDC of taking summation shots to deter a potential enemy after fear ′′ made on social media ".
′′ Our ex-fighters are indeed in Rutshuru territory. Not to fight anyone less yet their FARDC brothers ", says Bertrand Bisimwa.
The President of the Movement of March 23 (M23), Bertrand Bisimwa announces it as several sources report clashes between its elements and FARDC in two territories in North Kivu.
According to Bertrand Bisimwa, if the M23 are in Rutshuru, it is because, first it is their country, then they are waiting like everyone else for the implementation of the peace agreements signed in Nairobi on 12 December 2013.
For him, there has never been a clutch between FARDC and M23 in the Rutshuru. He accuses FARDC of taking summation shots to deter a potential enemy after fear ′′ made on social media ".
′′ Ex-M23 fighters have never taken any combat initiative and will not take it. What happened yesterday in Rutshuru is the result of fear made on social media that led the FARD to take summation shots to mark their presence and deter a potential enemy. So there was nowhere in Rutshuru neither clashes nor fighting between FARDC and ex-M23 fighters ", he says.
Accused of collaborating with Codeco militia in Ituri, Bertrand Bisimwa, of M23 rejects all charges.
He calls not to manipulate opinion at the risk of ′′ causing the confusion that would lead to chaos ". Bertrand Bisimwa also says wait for Tshisekedi to implement the peace agreements.
′′ Our countrymen must stop manipulating opinion at the risk of causing a situation of confusion that would lead to chaos and the loss of human lives. We support the Head of State and remain convinced that he will be able to implement peace agreements to permanently bring peace back to the east of the country so that finally this part of the country begins its development and the development of its inhabitants ′′ says he.
