Eight provincial deputies from North Kivu met with Major Andrew, a Ugandan military intelligence officer, on 22 December 2024 in Mwalika (Beni territory). The meeting aimed to assess the status of SHUJAA operations, jointly conducted by the FARDC and UPDF against the ADF/NALU rebels.
Key points discussed:
1. Status of SHUJAA operations
Major Andrew reported that the ADF/NALU is fragmented into small groups scattered in Beni, Irumu, Mambasa and Lubero. Although attacks persist, joint efforts by the FARDC and UPDF are strengthening to neutralize this threat.
2. Presence of the UPDF in Butembo
The presence of the Ugandan army in Butembo was justified by an agreement between Presidents Tshisekedi and Museveni, with the mission of combating the ADF/NALU and other threats, such as the M23. Major Andrew called for the collaboration of the population and the cessation of disinformation campaigns against the UPDF.
The provincial deputies expressed their gratitude to the Ugandan president, the UPDF, and Major Andrew for their commitment to the quest for peace and security in North Kivu.
