FARDC chief of staff general Mbala Celestine is in Beni for a command inspection mission and inquiry on the operations against rebels groups including ADF

Army General Célestin Mbala, through military sources, says he is carrying out a command inspection mission in eastern and northeastern DRC. This is in particular to inquire about the evolution of the so-called "large-scale" operations launched at the end of November 2019 against armed groups, including the rebels of the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF).

Last Monday, the FARDC Chief of General Staff, during a press briefing in Bunia (Ituri), banned armed groups that have joined the peace process from circulating with weapons and military clothing.
