M23 rejects the agreements between Kinshasha and Kigali

 

 The M23 rebel movement has declared that the agreement reached between the DRC and Rwanda, mediated by Angola, does not concern it.  The agreement, aimed at defusing tensions between the two countries, was signed this week in Luanda. The M23, which currently controls several territories in North Kivu province, said it did not recognize the agreement and that they would continue the rebellion.  The situation in eastern DRC remains tense, despite mediation efforts. The M23 is accused by Kinshasa of being supported by Rwanda with alot RDF elemenys fighting along side the rebels,a claim which Kigali denies.

According to Intelligence sources within the M23,the boys on the Frontline are jubilating and have received this refusal of the agreement with applause.Many fighters within M23 are sternly saying that ;"this is not 2013,we are fighting for our mothers ,brothers and relatives so that they can regain their freedom and rights to live happily like any other Congolese,we will not stop fighting ,It is not Angola,Rwanda or Tshisekedi who will stop us,what will stop us is the surelity of our freedom,the freedom of our relatives who are perishing in IDP camps and other refugee camps around the region,the agreement  will not stop us".

It was a shock to hear some of these fighters saying that:

"We respect Afande Makenga,but we are not fighting for Makenga,and he knows it very well,we thank him for organizing us and we utmostly respect him and we know well that he cannot believe in that nonsense,Makenga is also fighting like all of us are doing so that we get freedom.Not even a single incident will stop us.."

It is evident that the M23 is more determined than the other previous rebellion they staged.
