Like I got some bits of information about three days ago,it is now confirmed as FARDC (Armed Forces of the DRC) announced the neutralization last weekend of the Rwandan rebel leader of the FDLR / RUD movement (Ralliement for Unity and Democracy).

spokesperson for Operation Sokola 2, Major Ndjike Kaiko, said that self-proclaimed General Leon Mpiranya aka ′′ Kagoma ′′ was killed, on the night from Thursday to Friday, August 28, in the village of Makoka, in Binza group, in the territory of Rutshuru (North-Kivu).

He says that it was following a military operation that targeted this dissenting faction of the FDLR / FOCA and their allies from the Collective of Movements for Change, CMC / NYatura from August 16 to 28

Major Ndjike Kaiko also claims that this high FDLR framework was killed and other fighters from his group captured.

′′ Operations took place in two phases and on two axes. There was the Nyabanira axis and the Kitshanga axis. After obviously the hard fighting between the loyalist forces and these illegal gun holders, the DRC Armed Forces have managed to neutralize General Kagoma who is the manager who replaced, at the head of the FDLR / RUD, Jean Michel Africa who was neutralized a year ago. He in turn, General Kagoma, was neutralized, but also we restored state authority throughout this area, and we collected the weapons, we neutralized a lot of incivic, but also there are those who, following pressure, went to the loyalist army ", he said.
