DRC sets a year plan to the relaunch of military cooperation with the USA, surrender of the militia, operations against ADF

Security sector is far from being a gamble for the Sylvestre Ilunga term, which has totaled a year since its inauguration. In the government's assets, there is, a priori, the revival of DRC-US cooperation in the military field.
“And thanks to the warming of relations with the United States of America, military cooperation between our two countries, including the training of FARDC officers, has been relaunched after several years of tensions.”, Rejoices the government spokesperson. , Jolino Makelele, who presented a halfway report this Wednesday.
It also highlights the "reorganization of the army, the national police and other security services."
“On the ground, our defense and security forces are stepping up efforts to eradicate the armed groups that still roam the eastern part of the country. To date, there are still several cases of surrender, particularly in the camp, CODECO militiamen, Mai-Mai Malaika, NDC-R / Gilbert Bwira and FRPI. In Beni, an advanced staff was installed in accordance with the promise of the Head of State with our best officers to fight the ADF / MTN,this has been after we reported several incidences that showed that ADF has mastered the deployments and movements of FARDC in North kivu. Also, it was proceeded to the change of all the commands of the operational zone and to the formation of a rapid intervention brigade and specialized forces which is currently in this part of the republic ”, explained the spokesperson of the Congolese government.
Among the surrenders, a delegation of former Ituri warlords dispatched by Félix Tshisekedi claimed to have secured the engagement of more than 10,000 CODECO militiamen in Djugu territory. But the latter must be taken care of as part of the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration (DDR) process in order to win the bet. Several cases of surrender by members of armed groups have failed in Ituri, North Kivu and South Kivu. A good policy in this area is needed. The militiamen have ended up returning to the bush several times because of the botched processes.
