New clashes broke out in North Kivu on the Lukuka axis between Matembe and Kaseghe (Lubero) This Sunday morning. Residents say that heavy and light weapons are being heard and causing great terror in the region. The M23 launched at 5:30 a.m. local time and are continuing. Fighting between the FARDC and the M23 rebels continued this afternoon in the south of the Lubero territory, after the failure of negotiations in Luanda this Sunday. According to our local sources, the clashes broke out in the Matembe area, a strategic lock for the defense of Lubero-center. The rebels, heavily armed, are using battle tanks and heavy artillery to try to dislodge the Congolese army. Weapons continue to resonate in the region, raising concerns about the escalation of violence.
Another clarification on the security situation this Sunday morning, October 15, bombs are dropped in the city by the M23, the Malembe district in Buleusa a bomb exploded, ep Zebedee and others in Bushimba, this situation causing panic among the population, Note that the armed forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo are maintaining the city of Buleusa and its surroundings.
A drone of the M23 rebels, supported by Rwanda, was shot down, this Saturday, December 14, 2024, by elements of the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (FARDC) at Matembe, an entity located in the southern part of the territory of Lubero, in the province of North Kivu. The spokesperson for Front-Nord operations, Lieutenant Mbuyi Kalonji Reagan, who reported the news, said that the DRC Armed Forces shot down a Kamikaze drone belonging to the RDF/M23 terrorist coalition at the height of Kivako hill not far from Matembe. This action by the loyalist army is a response to multiple provocations by the M23 rebels,” wrote Lieutenant Mbuyi Kalonji Reagan. The spokesperson for Front-Nord operations protested against this umpteenth provocation by the M23/RDF rebels and indicated that the regular army remains determined to respond to any attack.
The inhabitants of the villages of Vutsorovya and Alimbongo are taking refuge in the locality of Kitsumbiro, fleeing the violent fighting between the M23 and the FARDC government army in the village of Matembe. Since the fall in July 2024 of Kirumba, the largest town in the Lubero territory, it is in Alimbongo, 100 km from the commercial city of Butembo, that the army has already erected its fortress, until now impassable by the rebels. Residents report that the situation is critical this Sunday on the battlefield. On Saturday 14, reinforcements in men and logistics were reported on the rebel side.
They tried everything to take Butembo before the 15th and be in a position of strength. As a result, they lost more elements than expected. Kagame's son got married a few days ago and he was found among those killed by a drone today. Rest in hell, terrorist. Today, will he sign or not?? Despite the fact that we knew he was not going to respect it because he is looking for a way to get his M23 involved in the negotiations. If he does not sign or does not respect today's commitments, the DRC will officially engage the military option against the RDF/M23. If he does not sign, we will see the reaction of the international community that sings to us morning and evening the Luanda mechanism, everyone against the wall. Kigali is exhausted by this war! Fatshi is not Kanambe.
Started more than 5 hours late, while the Congolese party was already in the room, the ministerial meeting between the DRC and Rwanda, to validate the agreement to be submitted for signature by the Heads of State, ended in a fizzle. The Rwandan delegation inserted an incision not provided for in the initial agreement, according to our sources. This new paragraph conditions the signing of this agreement by "direct negotiations" between the DRC and the M23. Something that the DRC has always refused.
