Kanyabayonga still under the FARDC and Wazalendo despite the social media rumours that it has been captured.

 After violent clashes on Thursday in the hills overlooking Sake, the situation is calm this Friday. SADC bombings have reduced a M23_RDF reserve force to dust in Rumeneti. Several deaths have been reported in Mushaki, including officers and soldiers bombed in their positions in the Mushaki hills, says our source on site. In Kanyabayonga, the FARDC still controls the city despite the advance of the rebels as far as Butalongola, less than 15 km away. The FARDC positions remain intact towards Armoiries. In the territory of Masisi, fighting broke out at 4 a.m. between the M23-RDF and the Wazalendo. At 7:10 a.m., the Wazalendo, led by self-proclaimed General Kawiti, recovered the strategic Ndumba hill for a few hours. At 9:30 a.m., a reinforcement of the M23 from Kiluku and nambi/kabase has just succeeded in repelling the wazalendo, thus regaining control of this locked hill of #Shasha and muremure. The wazalendo are reorganizing, the situation remains volatile. Fighting has also been reported since 5 a.m. on Kasopo hill in the Bashali group. As of now,after a day of urban fighting,the Wazalendo and FARDC have taught the M23 a very good lesson,and claims to have killed an M23 commander in these clashes for kanyabayonga.
