Be aware of this video that falsely accuses UPDF of reinforcements on the side of M23 at KITAGOMA.

 

Beware, this is false information relayed by coalition propaganda accounts on twitter,falsely wrting that the reinforcements were from Uganda via Kitagoma border .Kitagoma border is near the Mupaka town council of kisoro district.I first watched this video on Friday but did not comment but had to contact some residents in kitagoma  who unanimously said it was false.Many credible media outlets in North kivu have all proved that this video has nothing to do with reinforcements via Uganda.I call upon the FARDC and UPDF leadership to be vigilant and  not to be discouraged by such propagandas whose main intension is to create a bad relationship between the two armies and notably for tempting DRC into stopping the joint operation. VARIOUS ACCOUNTS THAT HAD UPLOADED THIS VIDEO HAVE STARTED DELETING IT AFTER PROVAL THAT IT WAS PROPAGANDA

This  video published Friday July 19, 2024 by a resident in the village of Kantine in Baswagha Madiwe Group, Beni Mbau sector shows the deployment of several well-armed soldiers.

Kantine is a village on the border with the territory of Lubero. As they pass, these visibly disciplined soldiers greet the civilians in Kiswahili. Civilians also recognize the outfit of the Ugandan soldiers in this photo.

This video was relayed by propaganda accounts of M23 with different captions, sometimes that there are reinforcements from the Ugandan army to the rebels, or even that elements of M23 / RDF have reached the territory of Beni.

Be careful, this is false information and manipulation as they usually do.

The local authorities denounce this manipulation which aims to destabilize the population and specify that there are Ugandan soldiers who are in the area as part of joint operations (FARDC _UPDF) Shujaa against ADF terrorists.
