Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (FARDC) and its allies: the Wazalendo announce that they have neutralized more than fifteen M23/RDF rebels in the Lubero territory (North Kivu).
The information was delivered to the press during the day by the spokesperson for the Northern Front operational sector, on Friday, December 13, 2024. According to Second Lieutenant Mbuyi Kalonji Reagan, the army's exploit over the M23/RDF rebels came following the clashes reported on Thursday in the Bamate chiefdom.
"In its second day of response to attacks by M23/RDF terrorists, more than fifteen of these elements were killed in the agglomeration of Luofu, a city located in the south of Lubero territory," he declared.
In addition to neutralizing these rebels, he added, the loyalist army recovered several war effects from the enemy “who did not resist the firepower of the FARDC-Wazalendo coalition.”
“Several AK-47, PKM, mortars and military effects of the attackers were recovered by the country's army,” he said.
It should be noted that clashes have resumed for some time in the Lubero territory between the FARDC/Wazalendo and the M23 rebels supported by the Rwandan army. This has been going on for more than 10 days on the front lines, particularly in the Bamate chiefdom. A situation that has caused the massive displacement of inhabitants to supposedly secure villages in Kirumba, Kanyabayonga and Kayna where they lead a difficult life, according to local civil society.
According to Reagan mbuyi kalonji, the Armed Forces of the DRC Northern Front, a precarious calm was observed on the morning of this ended Friday, December 13 on all the front lines in the Lubero territory, but the m23/RDF have just attacked their positions near two antennas, near the town of Matembe.
