After the recovery of several villages in the territories of Masisi and Rutsuru, the Congolese FARDC army attacks the mining town of #Rubaya in the territory of Masisi. Violent clashes were reported this Saturday, June 22, between the Congolese army and the #M23_RDF_AFC coalition. Military sources say that the FARDC advanced towards the mining town of Rubaya, a mining town located in the Bahunde chiefdom in Masisi territory, in North Kivu in the east of the DRC. This city came under the control of the coalition between February and March last year. “The detonations of heavy and light weapons were heard at 5 a.m. this Saturday in the village of Kibabi Buporo, not far from the Mululu River about 7 kilometers from the center of Rubaya. Now, a precarious calm is observed in the area and the FARDC spend the night 7 km from Rubaya", explains Shemati Éric. Civil society, however, denounces the fact that the coalition M23_RDF_AFC launches bombs targeting civilian objectives every time "Since Monday, 24 bombs have fallen in the Kanyabayonga commune, causing 19 injuries including 4 children and 14 deaths," said Aimé Mukanda, notable in the Rutshuru territory.
