MONUSCO present alongside FARDC in the defence of Kanyabayonga

 "As M23 has spent the whole day preparing for reinforcements, planning and reorganizing some of it commanders in  Rutshuru, specifically at Rumangabo"

Around 5 a.m. today, the M23_RDF carried out a cordon in the village of Ndumba, taking seven young people found in the houses to transport the corpses of their soldiers who died yesterday in the clashes. They transport these dead on stretchers to Kabase, where it seems that these rebels will bury theirs. 

Photos of M23 soldiers capture by SADC forces' drones before they bombed them to ashes.



In the territory of Rutshuru, since the morning, clashes have been reported in Lusogha and towards Armoiries between the rebels and the FARDC who are trying to regain control of the situation, which is deteriorating every day. The city of Kanyabayonga remains under the control of the FARDC. In the Sake hills, the situation has remained calm since the morning. As we reported yesterday,The M23 rebels lost many men, including senior officers, troopers and non-commissioned officers, during the SADC mission bombings on Thursday 29/05. Among them, Captain BIJUGIZA, whose name has just reached us, as well as a colonel whose photo we received, which is here.

These vehicles are now in our bases and ready for new service", said a military source close to the SAMIDRC force.
