Intensification of conflicts betweenPopular Patriotic Forces - People's Army (FPP-AP) of Kabidon and the Union des Patriotes pour la Défense des Innocents (UPDI-Mazembe) of Kitete, supported by the Nduma defense of Congo-Rénové (NDC-R ) in lubero and walikale.Is it a Rwandan factor or a need for territorial domination.

For over two months, i have been trying to dig much into the conflicts in kivu and ituri and it is true that many rebel groups are and will never be happy to see peace in this part of DRC ,and it is a collaboration of some elements of DRC and some foreigners at the interests of their governments. Many Congolese have it in their mind that even the Western world will never allow Congo to have peace ,and that they team up with some neighboring president to maintain a cycle of atrocities and wars within DRC.For the case of ADF,Congolese say that they are supported by some Congolese politicians and businessmen as indicated by the video on this link https://mobile.facebook.com/video_redirect/?src=https%3A%2F%2Fz-p3-video-ams4-1.xx.fbcdn.net%2Fv%2Ft42.9040-2%2F104300979_978985179199787_1499430312139824851_n.mp4%3F_nc_cat%3D108%26_nc_sid%3D985c63%26efg%3DeyJybHIiOjU5NCwicmxhIjo4MDgsInZlbmNvZGVfdGFnIjoibGVnYWN5X3NkIn0%253D%26_nc_eui2%3DAeHUGeMycIDDePXwkk8uBAi-YUrNM34oE3hhSs0zfigTeOe0dhNTVhrpNGtPRzD7ltI40i23NC4hNptqM9VQXH2S%26_nc_ohc%3D60T9kgiTAewAX973rFu%26_nc_ht%3Dz-p3-video-ams4-1.xx%26oh%3D7c9521334ed82b3891a8bd5f9684f6cb%26oe%3D5F39948D&source=misc&id=2721297518195764&noredirect=0&watermark=0&refid=46&ref=opera_speed_dial&__xts__%5B0%5D=12.AbrDSShacC3PjDz4nZHCedlf0lsMlkqiWDS-hikRDKdFvqjBIeXw5e2PILUdIHVkULvRVelOlL_JtDjYIQjtgIEozci8edPGX90srKBvJqCCwjC1gGUaZhCnssLiiUp6La2vcBnax0qmA00eXAsrGEVSk-CRnAr9rAks3MgK4Gxh5JIqCWKnt3ZYV9lO-kMt74shQjtIMFMr53IgX3TsA_VTycQEfFrh0oq2rmOupy4V4RI4LdckjPCUSo_-6NQhE6gZDKaJVKtBCPaPr7nR7eyUyiFltsgbgbA3Pepk56aBstqg_5i-JlWqq1KCgwpKdPCGGPJyZPVj5IcQefRNHgUzvOcMBIAZTMy9KGdmJqRBpbMeKHYdDZ0SgxZJN5CJYAdKn7w2VWKATMCgbxE0glW6IbDLiAuTiwVOEogaBa-NBU9Ui7y2vxlGmZPeXUzIbylgLFFVk1a0JbvAK4vA0-_lUffYT__7Cxo7OPUednRvQzy8QNajYbmwPAvujkjXWN4LvW4eQ4kmvWnPZps6bF395PSnzy6oVrQQ8IEfJPgXXVO6_2MVfH3-sheU1w6MyWhizzn2iSIYGmGrEXsT6L8-fXsU-fjE8pUIO6Ysq7KywcraakTbVeNA6eoh7XuqarU&__tn__=FHH
A conflict between the Popular Patriotic Forces - People's Army (FPP-AP) of Kabidon and the Union des Patriotes pour la Défense des Innocents (UPDI-Mazembe) of Kitete, supported by the Nduma defense of Congo-Rénové (NDC-R ) is intensifying in the territories of Lubero and Walikale. In June, the number of clashes rose sharply in June with eleven incidents of this nature, compared to four in May, explains the Kivu Security Barometer (KST), a project led by Human Rights Watch and the Group. study on Congo from New York University.
According to the KST analysis, control of the territory seems to be a major issue in this confrontation.
“But the attitude towards Rwanda also seems to be a determining factor. Kabidon and Kitete jointly participated in the creation of the Mazembe self-defense movement. The latter was formed in 2016 to push back the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR), a Rwandan rebellion opposed to the government in Kigali, in the territory of Lubero. The Mazembe movement subsequently also opposed the arrival of the NDC-R in Lubero territory, "KST notes.
And to add:
“But from October 2019, Kitete allied with the NDC-R. However, Kabidon suspects the NDC-R of collaborating with the government in Kigali (for more on the nature of this support and the history of this conflict, see the latest report of the Congo Study Group). For the NDC-R, and by extension for Kitete, the official priority remains to fight the FDLR ”.
But from October 2019, Kitete allied with the NDC-R. However, Kabidon suspects the NDC-R of collaborating with the government in Kigali, adds the same source.
In the meantime, the NDC-R has split into two factions. Guidon Shimiray and Gilbert Bwira fight around Pinga.
