M23's intelligence is recconoitring Bukavu!!!Will the wazalendo manage to save Bukavu??

There is no doubt that M23 will lay or is preparing an attack on Bukavu.After the fall of Goma,M23 regained more confidence,got more supporters and achieved more recruits.And most importantly received a huge boost to their armory from guns left behind by the FARDC and their allies.According to latest intelligence, alot of M23 spies are spread and monitoring situation in the key strategic points of Bukavu.It very sad and unfortunate for very few will be ready to hear such facts.The M23 is ready and in high gear to take on the city of Bukavu.It with this or to this effect that FARDC made alot deployments mainly to guard the Kavumu airport,several sources also indicate that slot South African army is currently being deployed in DRC with the latest batch to arrived have dropped in at the begging of this weekend.The M23 is believe to be currently 30 km away from Kavumu airport.

Recently,the wazalendo and youth groups in South kivu issue a message of encouragement to FARDC as follows:

MESSAGE OF ENCOURAGEMENT FROM THE YOUNG REVOLUTIONARIES OF CONCO TO THE FARDC AND WAZALENDO IN A POSITION OF STRENGTH ON THE FRONT LINE IN KALEHE IN THE PROVINCE OF SOUTH KIVU

It is with satisfaction that the Congolese people in general and particularly the Young Revolutionaries, have followed the successes and the rise in power of our FARDC army on the Rwandan army and its M23 / AFC auxiliaries on the front line in several localities in the territory of KALEHE, Following these victorious advances, the Young Revolutionaries of Congo congratulate the FARDC in collaboration with our Wazalendo and encourage them to hold strong to completely liberate our Homeland unjustly attacked by the KAGAME regime.

On this same occasion, the Young Revolutionaries continue to sensitize their members and all the youth of the DRC in general to enlist massively in the defense and security forces to fight the enemy to its last entrenchment.

The Young Revolutionaries urge the Head of State and the government to improve the motivation of our defense forces and detect the traitor spies who demotivate the true patriots at the fronts.

Finally, the Young Revolutionaries ask the administrators of the whatsapp groups to watch over the stateless people who share messages of intoxication, to panic and who publish inappropriate images in favor of the enemy.

Madam Nsuele Manyika Julie suspended

 

Mrs. NSUELE MANYIKA JULIE, in charge of the communication unit of the Minister of National Defense, is suspended from her duties, this Friday, January 31, 2025, following the omission to mention the author of all the quotes made during the speech of her direct superior.

Intelligence extracts from DRC diplomats.Is this the real reason why Tshisekedi ha refused to have talks with M23

 

The former President of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Joseph Kabila Kanambe, allegedly entered into a secret agreement with Paul Kagame to facilitate the looting of Congolese minerals in exchange for so-called peace and security in the Kivu region.

A dossier has now surfaced revealing the full extent of these dealings. Today, Minister of State of the DRC, Thérèse Kayikwamba Wagner, has arrived in Washington, D.C. for a two-day working visit with the Trump administration, which has been left shocked by the revelations.

THE SCANDALOUS AGREEMENT: A DEAL WITH RWANDA & M23

The Trump administration has reportedly been stunned by the details of an agreement between the Congolese government, led at the time by Joseph Kabila (born Hypolite Kanambe Kazemberere), and the CNDP, the precursor to the M23 movement—the same group that is waging war against the DRC today under the support of Rwanda.

This agreement, signed in 2013, is now being used as a pretext by Rwanda to demand formal dialogue between the DRC and the M23-AFC terrorist movement, despite its clear aim of destabilizing and fragmenting the DRC.

However, one of the most sinister elements of this deal—now coming to light—is that it was not merely about securing mineral wealth but part of a larger, long-term strategy to establish a Tutsi Hima Empire stretching from Uganda, Burundi, Rwanda, and Kivu, with plans to eventually take over Kenya, Tanzania, and Angola after the conquest of Congo.

The plan allegedly included the assassination of Burundi’s Hutu leadership, followed by the ethnic cleansing of non-Tutsi populations in Kivu, clearing the way for Tutsi dominance across the region.

---

Key Aspects of the 2013 Agreement

I. Loss of Congolese Sovereignty & Regional Autonomy

1. Decentralization of the M23’s power across all eastern provinces, effectively giving the terrorist group control over strategic regions.

2. Recognition of a "disaster zone" covering North Kivu, South Kivu, Ituri, Haut-Uélé, Maniema, and Tanganyika, cutting off Kinshasa’s control over these areas.

3. Granting fiscal and financial autonomy to M23, allowing them to directly control local economic and political management.

4. Creation of a "state within a state", stripping the Kinshasa government of its authority over the region.

---

II. Infiltration of the M23 into Security Structures

5. Integration of M23 rebels into the Congolese military and police, severely compromising national security.

6. M23 took over 43% of military command posts in North Kivu and 39% in South Kivu, giving them strategic military dominance.

7. Creation of a border police unit controlled by M23, ensuring the group’s dominance over key border regions.

8. Official recognition of M23 military and police ranks, granting legitimacy to known war criminals.

Consequences:

Infiltration & betrayal: M23 was able to access strategic military intelligence, weakening the FARDC (Congolese army).

Compromised national defense: Instead of neutralizing M23, the agreement legitimized and empowered them.

---

III. Administrative Colonization by M23

9. The agreement allowed M23 to appoint governors, mayors, territorial administrators, and security officials, placing key leadership positions under rebel control.

10. Provincial finances were handed over to M23, allowing the group to dictate financial policies in the region.

Consequences:

Rwandan indirect control over Eastern Congo: By infiltrating the administration, Rwanda gained political influence without direct military intervention.

Collapse of state authority: Local governance was controlled by an armed group rather than elected officials.

---

IV. A Two-Tiered Justice System: Amnesty for M23, Persecution of FARDC

11. Full amnesty was granted to M23 fighters, allowing war criminals to reintegrate into society unpunished.

12. Meanwhile, Congolese soldiers (FARDC) were prosecuted for defending their country against M23 rebels.

Consequences:

Criminals in power: Former rebels, some responsible for heinous war crimes, were reintegrated into the government and military.

Demoralization of the FARDC: The government punished its own soldiers while rewarding the enemy.

---

V. A Repeated Strategy: From CNDP to M23 to the Tutsi Empire Plan

13. The 2013 agreement was a continuation of the 2009 CNDP agreement, which similarly allowed Rwanda to infiltrate Congolese institutions.

14. Kigali’s consistent strategy: Use rebel groups to pressure Kinshasa into concessions, then restart conflicts when beneficial.

15. The larger goal: The agreement laid the foundation for a Tutsi Empire, extending beyond the DRC into Burundi, Uganda, Rwanda, and eventually Kenya, Tanzania, and Angola.

---

The Secret Plan: Establishing the Tutsi Hima Empire

16. Elimination of Burundi’s Hutu leadership: Rwanda and its allies allegedly plotted the assassination of key Hutu political figures in Burundi to ensure total Tutsi dominance.

17. Genocide in Kivu: The plan involved killing all non-Tutsi populations in Eastern Congo, establishing it as a base for further expansion.

18. A launchpad for regional conquest: Once Eastern Congo was under control, the Tutsi Empire would set its sights on Kenya, Tanzania, and Angola.

---

VI. The Aftermath & Consequences

19. Resurgence of M23: Instead of eliminating the threat, the agreements kept Rwanda’s proxy forces embedded within the Congolese state.

20. Crisis in Goma: The fall of Goma to M23 today is a direct result of these agreements.

21. Loss of Congolese sovereignty: The Tutsi Empire project threatens to permanently break apart the DRC, making way for Rwandan expansion.

---

Conclusion: A Strategic Disaster for the DRC

The 2013 agreement was not just a betrayal of Congolese sovereignty—it was part of a larger imperialist strategy aimed at erasing national borders to create a Tutsi Hima Empire.

The agreement did not bring peace but empowered Rwanda’s control over Eastern Congo, setting the stage for further regional conquests.

If the DRC continues making the same mistakes, it risks losing its eastern provinces permanently.

History is repeating itself with the ongoing M23 insurgency and the fall of Goma.

A new compromise would mean permanently losing Eastern Congo to foreign influence.

---

What the Congolese provides as a Solution

The Democratic Republic of Congo must reject all negotiations that undermine its sovereignty and instead focus on regaining control of its territory through military and political strength.

If action is not taken, the dream of a Tutsi Empire stretching across Central and East Africa may soon become reality, at the expense of millions of innocent lives and the territorial integrity of sovereign nations.

MONUSCO relocates som of its staff as security in GOMA worsens

 

Faced with the deterioration of the security situation in North Kivu and particularly around the city of Goma, MONUSCO announced this Saturday the temporary relocation of its non-essential personnel from Goma. This decision aims to ensure the safety of employees while maintaining essential humanitarian operations in the city.

According to MONUSCO, while this measure could suggest a withdrawal, it is in reality a strategic adaptation. The personnel essential to the continuity of operations, particularly in the areas of humanitarian aid and the protection of civilians, will remain on the ground. The United Nations is thus reaffirming its unwavering commitment to the populations of North Kivu, who are particularly vulnerable in the face of the crisis.

The deterioration of the security situation in North Kivu, marked by an upsurge in violence and population displacement following the M23-RDF war, has forced the UN to take this difficult decision. The temporary relocation of non-essential staff helps minimize the risks incurred by employees while ensuring the continuation of vital activities on the ground, MONUSCO sources learned. 

"This measure will not impact the provision of humanitarian assistance to the most vulnerable populations. The UN will continue to ensure the distribution of food, medicines, and provide support in terms of shelter and protection. Humanitarian teams present on the ground will work closely with national authorities and humanitarian partners to respond to urgent needs," a MONUSCO source said.

Despite this difficult context, the UN reiterates its commitment to supporting peace, stability and development in the Democratic Republic of Congo. This organization reassures that it will continue to work alongside the Congolese authorities and civil society to find lasting solutions to this complex humanitarian crisis

DRC crisis!Emergency meeting of the UN Security Council on Monday, January 27

According  to Intelligence collections from diplomatic circles within DRC,there is confirmation that UN Security Council will meet on Monday, January 27, urgently to discuss the escalation of fighting in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo, we learned this Friday evening at the headquarters of the organization in New York. According to diplomatic sources, ths emergency meeting was requested by Kinshasa, then relayed by France, while clashes have been intensifying in North Kivu and South Kivu for several days between the Congolese army and the M23.

M23 gives a 48 hour altimatum to FARDC soldiers in GOMA to lay down their weapons

 

Ultimatum issued to the Congolese armed forces and allies, to lay down their arms in 48 hours, failing which, Goma will be on fire...

The Rwandan rebels of the M23 have surrounded Goma and are starting to do housework, in light of their multiple military successes in the theater of operations at the front in the East of the DRC where they have conquered a large part of North Kivu.

Under the impetus of Rwanda, the architect of this Congolese drama, the M23, reinvigorated by its military assets, has publicly given 48 hours to the Congolese army stationed in Goma to lay down its arms.

The rebels say ,"The city of Goma must never be used as a battlefield, and our organization will not tolerate any armed group engaged in a conflict against the civilian population" 

"The rebels in question, today, to improve their image as killers, are using PR to improve their disastrous image in light of their heinous crimes as well as on the local populations",said one civilian from Goma

DRC embassy in Kigali closed????

 

President Felix Tshisekedi has recalled all DRC embassy staff stationed in Rwanda and ordered the closure of the DRC embassy in Rwanda.

Thérèse Kayikwamba W, Minister of State, Minister of Foreign Affairs, International Cooperation  requests by correspondence the cessation of all activities of the Rwandan embassy in the DRC.

As indicated in the letter below:

Kinshasa has just given 48 hours for all diplomatic and consular staff of the Embassy of the Republic of Rwanda in Kinshasa to leave the country.

Today in Kigali, DRC diplomatic staff have been leaving Kagame’s country.

All the staff have been ordered to leave Rwanda immediately.Many lament that Tshisekedi should have done this earlier.

Rumours on death of Major General Peter Chirimwami,was he killed by M23?

 

Is that the truth behind his death or a disinformation from the enemy camp to cause more confusion!

1) He receives the order of Kinshasa not to attack and observe the ceasefire.

2) Under the high pressure of the units on the front (mainly some commanders and colonels of units) he decides to go to the front in Sake to tell the truth to the fighters on the ground, comfort them and relaunch morale.

3) Arriving at the front, he rather meets a climate of stampede and anger between the units (mainly the wazalendo and the republican guard who have just lost many of their mmbers in the fighting and the pain is lively), the wazalendo and GR threatens General Peter Chirimwami directly as Being the basis of the death of their companions,blame him for being inactive they say because he refused to send the air reinforcements and fighting tanks.

4) He therefore realizes that he made a big mistake to go to the front at this very specific moment, he thought it was controllable it is also the reason why he presented himself appearing worried and without being heavily armed or military protective equipment.

5) Under this climate and strong pressure and threats, he decides to make a video where he tells the truth and the  video is available,he said: the army is an instrument of the political, I received the order not to attack and I respect the orders, I only obey, unlike many who think that you were massacred on front  without me  intervening, I only follow the orders.

6) Altercations then arise between his guards, the Wazalendo and the GR in his tent. Unprotected or equipped, he will receive yaws and die on the fields with several other soldiers from his guard.

7) The order is given not to take his body back to Goma to maintain the tension but to send it back directly to the airport for Kinshasa, which is done and rumors begin to circulate.

8) The UDPS and many others claim the death of the one they call "traitor" and you already know why!!!

Clashes still going on!

 Clashes between the DRC Armed Forces (FARDC) and the M23 rebels, supported by Rwanda, are continuing this Friday, January 24 on two different fronts around the city of Goma (North Kivu), notably on the Kibumba axis, in the Nyiragongo territory, and on the Sake axis, in Masisi.

According to some sources, the Congolese army and its allies are trying to push back the rebels who are in the city of Sake and to counter their advance towards the Kibumba area.

Since 8 a.m. local time, witnesses claim to have heard detonations of heavy and light weapons, notably on the Sake axis, in Masisi territory and on the Kanyamahoro-Kibumba axis, in Nyiragongo territory. 

These detonations, which continue on this axis, are exacerbating panic in the city of Goma.

As for Sake, several sources indicate that the city, including the village of Mubambiro, was occupied by M23 rebels until Friday morning. 

According to these sources, the army and its allies are trying to counter the advance of these rebels towards Goma by passing through the Virunga National Park via the north of the Nzulo locality. 

On the other front, violent clashes are also continuing on the Kibumba axis where, since early Friday, the M23 has been attempting another breakthrough towards Goma. But they are being prevented from doing so by the Congolese army, report sources in the region.

The day before, the front line of the Sake axis was defended by the FARDC and allies including the Wazalendo, the SAMIDRC Regional Force and MONUSCO peacekeepers.

Since Thursday, January 23, MONUSCO has reactivated Operation Springbok, launched several months ago to protect the city of Goma, jointly with the FARDC.

Also on Thursday, detonations of heavy weapons were heard in this northern part of the Nyiragongo territory. A bomb dropped by the rebels fell in a village in the Muja group, causing the death of at least two civilians.

Military Attachés of their Countries in Rwanda told Much about the Collaboration between FDLR and FARDC

Military Attachés of their Countries in Rwanda were told Much about the Collaboration between FDLR and FARDC

Defence Attachés of their Countries in Embassies in Rwanda visited the Mutobo Center, which houses former combatants, and spoke with those who recently defected from the FDLR, who told them how this group works with the FARDC, as well as the Burundian army and the Wazalendo movement.

This was an event that took place on Wednesday, January 23, 2025, where the Defence Attachés visited the Mutobo Center, which houses former combatants before being reintegrated into civilian life.

This group of representatives of the interests of their countries' military in the embassies were welcomed by the Rwandan Defense Forces Spokesperson, Brig Gen Ronald Rwivanga, who told them that these fighters have chosen to distance themselves from the FDLR, due to the group's toxic nature.

The former fighters also explained in detail to the Defence Attachés the military cooperation between the FDLR, the Congolese army (FARDC), the Burundian army and the Wazalendo rebel group.

Those who decided to distance themselves from the armed groups said that these groups work with the Congolese army in the ongoing fighting, and are provided with equipment by the leaders of this country.

The Director of the Mutobo Center, Rtd Maj Mudayi Cyprien, spoke about the programs planned for these former combatants, which include a three-month period during which they are taught the values ​​and life of the country, as well as receiving vocational training that will enable them to live in the extended family they have joined.

This visit by representatives of the Armed Forces of their countries to their Embassies in Rwanda, was aimed at obtaining information on the issues of armed groups that continue to be discussed in the region where Rwanda is located.

Media claims:Will Tshisekedi soon attack Rwanda using FDLR?

 

Those who defected from the FDLR and returned to Rwanda have revealed the extent of Tshisekedi's plan to attack it

Those who defected from the FDLR and Wazalendo groups, which are collaborating with the Army of the Democratic Republic of Congo (FARDC) in the war against M23, say that in the battle instructions they receive, they are told to fight the group or they will continue to occupy Rwanda.

These fighters who escaped from these groups, including the FDLR, which is made up of survivors of the Genocide against the Tutsi, say that the poor living conditions and barbarity in these groups are what made them decide to separate from them and return to their homeland.

They say that the collaboration between the FARDC and these armed groups has reached a high level, to the point that when they were fighting the M23 group, they would be united, and otherwise they would be provided with equipment such as guns and government troops.

Returning to their shared activities in the ongoing war in eastern DRC, Ishimwe Patrick, a former FDLR fighter, said: “We fought in Kishish with the FARDC, we fought in Kibilizi with Mai-Mai, FARDC and FDLR, we went up to Kirundure with FARDC and Mai-Mai.”

The 24-year-old says that during these battles they were also with a white general named Gen Jean Marie who lives in Mugozi.

Tshisekedi’s plan to invade Rwanda

Niyitanga Gervais, 18, who also escaped from these groups working with the FARDC, says that he went to the Democratic Republic of Congo to seek safety but he and others who were with him found themselves captured by armed groups who then took them in.

This young man from Cyanzarwe Sector in Rubavu District, says that when they were captured by these groups, they were immediately taken to military training for two months in Ntiti, and then immediately sent to the battlefield in eastern DRC.

He said, “When we were going to fight, Gen Justin would give us instructions on how to behave on the battlefield, give us ammunition, whether it was a Machine Gun, RPG, or Mortier; and he would take it.”

In this battle, they seemed to be committing suicide, because those who tried to resist or were lazy, were shot, so that they fought in self-defense to save their lives, but that did not prevent the M23 group from defeating them even though they were armed with heavy weapons.

He said that in the instructions they received for this battle, they were told that they had to defeat the M23 group, that it was made up of Rwandans, and that they would continue the fight in Rwanda and conquer it.

He said, “We would go to the battlefield and they would tell us that we would attack Rwanda, and we would end up going to the battlefield and we would meet the FARDC, FDLR, and those Burundians. When we all went to the battlefield, they would mix us up, FARDC, Wazalendo, FDLR, we would all mix us up and fight together.”

This soldier said that the life he lived was miserable, because their leaders used them to commit inhuman acts, which was what made him decide to return home.

He said, “When we were in those forests, it was like walking past a woman with money and taking it from her, or like your General telling you, ‘I saw someone with money’ at night and you go and open the door and take it away, he wanted to scream and shoot him.”

Private Hatangimana Delphin, who left the Wazalendo group, also said that the instructions they received from their superiors were very focused on attacking Rwanda.

He said, “They told us that we must fight for our country Rwanda by fighting the M23, accusing them of being Rwandans and fighting them. After that, they told us that if we meet someone, we must steal what they have so that we can live, get soap and other things.”

All these fighters say that even though they are given powerful weapons, they never defeat the M23 because they only achieve one victory a month.

On different occasions, the President of the DRC, Felix Tshisekedi, has repeatedly stated that he intends to invade Rwanda to overthrow the current government, and this is one of the things that the government of this country assures the FDLR that it will help.

This is at a time when the President of the Republic of Rwanda, Paul Kagame, has promised Rwandans that he will no longer threaten their security, no matter what it is, no matter who is behind it and no matter where it comes from.

This promise has also come true, because in all these three years, not a single threat has threatened Rwanda's security, even though there are those who have these evil plans and have shown the will to implement them.

M23 accusing FARDC?

 

This is what FARDC is saying

 

Civilians in North kivu call the president to reinforce the army

 

Minova and kalungu taken by M23, Fighting intensifies to take over. Nyabibwe .

The M23 rebels conquered the city of Minova (Kalehe territory) in South Kivu on Monday, January 20, after intense fighting on the last hills of the Masisi territory in neighboring North Kivu. Minova is the first major entity in South Kivu to be occupied by the M23.

According to intelligence information collected by our agent on mission in the area, the rebels entered Minova in the evening. This Tuesday morning, they deployed in several places in the city and its surroundings to consolidate their presence.

"They have already taken all the positions formerly occupied by the FARDC and the wazalendo, where there were support weapons like Katale, Katyazo and all the hills overlooking Minova to have control over Lake Kivu. They have also gone around Kasunyu, a route that opens towards Goma and Rwanda", explained the local civilians who talked to our agent.

According to our agent, the rebels are heading towards Kalungu, 7 kilometers from Minova with the option of reaching Nyabibwe where there are mining sites. This axis also leads to Kavumu where the airport is located.

In Minova as everywhere else where they have conquered entities, the M23 rebels held a meeting this morning. "They said that schools will be able to open in 48 hours, promised that the RN2 Minova-Bweremana-Sake-Goma will be reopened", indicates our agent who attended the meeting.

The arrival of the M23 in Minova is not without consequences. Since Monday, the prices of basic necessities have increased. Thousands of displaced people from Masisi who were already living in the area have had to flee again.

"There are families of displaced people who were identified, more than 700,000 since last February in the Buzi group from Masisi, Rutshuru, and those receiving Minova are all becoming displaced people and heading towards Goma via Kitembo and Nzulo. Hunger could affect a large number of people," alerted the  humanitarians in the area.

The M23 has been trying to break through South Kivu for several days. After months of clashes with the army and the Wazalendo militia, the rebels managed to conquer the mining town of Lumbishi in South Kivu last weekend. The m23 have already taken kalungu.Currently, the fighting is getting to nyabibwe an the FARDC apparently demoralized are beginning to vacate nyabibwe.

According to our other agents around the borders ,none knows the next move the M23 is going to take or which town or entity they will attack and take over.But reality on the ground reveals increasing reinforcements in both human and war materials .

Colonel Rugabisha Alex of FARDC betrayed his soldiersonn the Frontlines in kalehe

 Alot  of critiques claim that a colonel in the armed forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo who has just ended the lives of 20 FARDC soldiers by handing them over to his aggressor brothers M23RDF on the NGUNGU-MINOVA section this January 20, 2025.

On the NGUNGU, MINOVA, KABALEGASHA, LUMBISHI, NUMBI and SHANJE axis in South Kivu, Kalehe territory, Alex is the second traitor who betrayed the Congolese army at the front.

Many soldiers died because of this claimed  traitor.

However, many analysts on military issues refer to this as a form of disinformation to break the cohesion within FARDC.

M23-AFC Corneille Nangaa's property put on public auction

 

M23 planning to suffocate GOMA and probably force Kinshasha to negotiate!

 

The war waged by M23 in the East of the Democratic Republic of Congo is increasingly taking on another aspect, and is gradually reaffirming all the notes taken up by the United Nations experts in their various reports. From a war of aggression to an economic war, Rwanda seems to no longer have the means to camouflage its unfortunate shenanigans, which have pushed millions of citizens to flee their natural environments, many lives having also been lost.

After eight months of controlling the city of Ngungu, the M23 rebels were dislodged from this strategic entity in the Masisi territory by the Congolese army supported by young volunteers for the defense of the homeland called Wazalendo and some units of the Burundian army who intervene in the DRC within the framework of bilateral relations between the two countries.

This recapture of Ngungu, which came after those of the villages of Kamatale, Luizi, Ruzirantaka, Kabingo and Kasake, only lasted ten days, casting doubt on the hopes of progress of these forces fighting for the DRC, who were nevertheless preparing to launch attacks on the mining city of Rubaya that the M23 is protecting at all costs.

By retaking Ngungu, the RDF-M23 coalition subsequently succeeded in breaking through the wall of resistance to the point of crossing the borders of the neighboring province of South Kivu.

Ngungu, the misfortune of Lumbishi

The fall of the city of Ngungu negatively affected the morale of the soldiers engaged on the front lines, to the point of allowing the RDF and M23 to advance in Kasake, as far as the locality of Lumbishi in the territory of Kalehe in South Kivu.

"We were surprised to see the enemy approaching Lumbishi so quickly when we thought the threat was still very far from our village. We cannot understand how the rebels ended up here, yet the FARDC, the Wazalendo and the Burundian soldiers are still near Kamatale, Kabingo, Ruzirantaka," Saying , the residents of Lumbishi who were  fleeing.

The funnel theory to suffocate Goma and extend the plundering of minerals

This dizzying progression of the Rwandan army and the M23 rebels would aim not only to further suffocate the city of Goma, already surrounded from Kibumba to Sake, but also to push Kinshasa to negotiate directly with the "M23 terrorists", a condition that Kinshasa has always rejected.

In front of ambassadors and representatives of international organizations, Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi, President of the Democratic Republic of Congo, recently reiterated his clear position of never considering direct dialogue with the M23. He specified that he did not intend to give in to any international pressure to dialogue with a group that he describes as "terrorist."

The advance of the M23-RDF army in the territory of Kalehe, in the province of South Kivu, is a godsend for Rwanda and its ally to extend their zone of plundering of natural resources, believes Mupenzi Mvuyekure, a notable of Kalehe.

The villages of Lumbishi and Shanje, occupied by the rebels since last weekend, are rich in raw materials such as tourmaline, coltan, cassiterite, gold and several others.

The mining town of Numbi also came under the control of the Rwandan army and M23 this evening, while several other credible sources claim that the M23 rebels intend to continue the conquest of the village of Nyabibwe in South Kivu province, whose subsoil is full of resources such as gold, coltan, manganese, cassiterite and tourmaline.

To achieve this, the M23 army simultaneously launched attacks on Monday, January 20 against FARDC positions on all axes that could lead them to the town of Minova, the only food supply route to the city of Goma, which remains under the control of the Congolese army. Population movements have been observed there since the early hours of the day, despite assurances from the Congolese military authorities. The latest information in the area is that the villages of Bitaata, Bitonga, Buyaga and Bishange have come under the control of the  M23.

This progression of the M23, supported by Rwanda, worries the populations living around Lake Kivu, who are calling on the Congolese government to redouble its efforts to definitively put an end to these conflicts.

In an official tweet, the Rwandan Minister of Foreign Affairs reacted to President Tshisekedi's position of not engaging in direct dialogue with the M23, while remaining open to continuing the Luanda process. Olivier Nduhungirehe writes: "And yet, the Luanda process can never resume and succeed without a firm commitment from the Democratic Republic of Congo to engage directly with the AFC-M23."

GOMA city is per now gettingcompletely isolated by the M23?

According to intelligence reports and analysis,All food supply routes are cut off, from Kibumba to Sake, with the exception of Minova, which remains the last bulwark and where the situation is becoming increasingly chaotic.

Between eradicating this existential threat now, activating his last card with his sincere allies or negotiating on his knees with the "M23 terrorists", President Félix Tshisekedi is facing his destiny and the future of a united Congo.

Moreover, President Tshisekedi could so far count on the resilience and resistance of the population of the region who 30 years later, remain attached to a united Congo and remain resistant to the Rwandan aggression in DRC.

Frontline Report:Current situation on the different front lines this Monday 20/January/2025

 

1) The clashes resumed early this morning of this Monday 20/January, between the FARDC supported by the WAZALENDO against the Rwandan army in MASISI center and its surroundings.

The m23 army has just thrown a bomb at the church of the CEPAC in SAKE.Meanwhile, other fighting is underway around Bweremana, precisely near the agglomeration of Bitoka in Masisi territory. The population is fleeing en masse following the loud detonations that hit several villages near the Lukala assembly line. This poor population had already returned to their villages.

The population is fleeing towards Bweremana and Minova. A tense climate is even pushing students to return home, as is the case at the Saint Charles Lwanga Institute in Minova.

At least six fighters from the Twirwaneho self-defense group were neutralized on Sunday, January 19, 2025 in the Ugeafi locality near the Lwiko River in South Kivu province.

Faced with this attack, your army, the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo, reacted and thwarted it, inflicting a significant loss," said Lieutenant Elongo Kyondwa Marc, FARDC spokesperson in the Sukola 2 South operational sector of South Kivu.

The Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo say they are ready to respond to any attempted attack by the enemy who has only one vision, that of sowing terror and destabilizing the country's institutions.

The army claims that the situation is calm. It calls on the population to go about their business freely and, above all, to collaborate in order to foil the Machiavellian plan of the enemies of the Republic.

Reports from civilians:

This morning, clashes continued between the Rwandan army supported by the M23 rebellion and the Wazalendo in Katal and Rukicha, respectively 12 and 17km from Masisi Center, as well as in Kanii, a village located 3km from Masisi Center .

However, around 8:45 am, our sources report precarious calm.

In the territory of Lubero, the M23 RDFs share the  control of Luofu with the FARDC. Calm is also observed there.

For 3 hours, the clashes have been reported between the M23_RDF and Wazalendo in Kashuga, a village located in the Bashali Mukoto group in the Bashali chiefdom.

Eyeing Alimbongo,the FARDC managed to dislodge, this Friday, January 17 morning, the M23 rebels from Kasake, a hill overlooking the town of Ngungu.

Our Precise Report from Lubero:

A few days after the capture of the Mining and Agricultural city of Ngungu by the Rwandan army, supported by the M23 rebellion, which facilitated a small advance of the rebels to kasake, our intelligence collections from the area affirm that the Fardc, supported by the Wazalendo and the army of Burundi, a country that is in bilateral cooperation with the DRC, stopped the advance of the rebels and chased them from the village of Kasake.

Intelligence from two Frontline affirm that the Congolese army, with its allies, has once again approached the city of Ngungu where the population that had remained there, during the reoccupation of this city by the Rwandan army and M23, has been emptying since yesterday. Some are heading towards Goma and others are heading to the surrounding areas.

According to intelligence report to me,the Fardc, Wazalendo and allies are in Kadahandwa, less than 4km from Ngungu.Furthermore, the Fardc and Wazalendo have still not recovered the locality of Alimbongo, contrary to false information according to which the Fardc would have regained control of this locality, in the territory of Lubero.

The army is advancing with determination for the imminent reconquest of this city and th sorrounding localities.

Colonel and military administrator of Lubero territory, Alain kiwewa, launched a curse on Rwandan President Paul kagame, while accusing him of being at the origin of the troubles in the eastern part of the DRC.

USA dismayed by Kagame's military stunts in North Kivu

 

United States of America expresses its dismay at the extent of Rwanda's military activities in North Kivu province, alongside the M23 rebels. This increased activism by Rwandan soldiers is confirmed by the latest report of the United Nations Group of Experts on the security situation in eastern DRC.

In a statement published on its website on Wednesday, January 15, the US State Department denounced the deployment by the Rwandan army of sophisticated military equipment in the region, including GPS-guided mortars. mortars.

"The United States condemns the unlawful presence of several thousand Rwandan troops in the DRC, as well as Rwanda's support for and direction of the U.N.- and U.S.-sanctioned M23 militia, and Rwanda's use of surface-to-air missile systems, GPS-guided mortars, and anti-tank missiles," the State Department said.

The statement also highlights GPS jamming activities carried out by the Rwandan army and the M23, which jeopardize humanitarian air operations in the region.

“Rwanda and M23 must immediately cease their GPS jamming and spoofing activities, which continue to impede MONUSCO air operations and UN humanitarian flights in North Kivu. These actions endanger UN and humanitarian personnel while blocking much-needed assistance to civilians suffering from violence,” the US State Department added.

The recently published report also confirms Rwanda's hierarchy over the M23, as well as the massive deployment of soldiers and advanced military equipment in North kivu.

Thirty-seven (37) former hostages of the ADF rebels were handed over to civil society in Beni this Thursday, January 16, 2025, in the province of North Kivu, in the East of the Democratic Republic of Congo

 

The ceremony was facilitated by the Sokola 1 Grand Nord operational sector in front of certain competent authorities. These former hostages were abducted by the attackers, mostly in the fields during rural activities, particularly in Beni, Lubero, Irumu and Mambasa in Ituri.

"37 former hostages recovered by the joint FARDC-UPDF force have just been handed over to the civil society of Beni city and territory this Thursday. They are 07 men and 18 women , 12 children," said Lieutenant-Colonel Mak Hazukay, spokesperson for the Sokola 1 Grand Nord operational sector.

According to this military officer, an M23 fighter recruited in Ituri surrendered to the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo. 

Civil society in the city of Beni, through its president, Maître Pépin Kavotha, calls on the population to welcome these civilians and accept them into their families.

As a reminder, several other former hostages were handed over to civil society and MONUSCO last year in the same region in the presence of certain security authorities.

 More than ten (10) people died in an attack attributed to the rebels of the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) in the territory of Lubero (North Kivu), this Wednesday, January 15, 2025.

According to the military administrator of the said territory, who confirmed the in the ADF targeted the village of Makoko located in the chiefdom of Baswagha where they killed these civilians.

"There was an incursion by the ADF into Makoko. It is a village located near Muhangi in the chiefdom of Baswagha. For the moment, our defence elements are working to reassure the security of the population," said Colonel Kiwewa Mitela, administrator of the Lubero territory.

Civil society speaks out about the confused situation in Makoko after this deadly attack.

"Several civilians were killed by the ADF in Makoko. There were about ten dead. Among the victims was the Mwami of the Bulengya group. They fell into an ambush set by the enemy in Luthambi," declared César Kambale Mughutha, president of the youth in Baswagha.

Following this incursion, socio-economic activities were paralyzed in Makoko, and even in the Muhangi agglomeration, independent sources reported.

"In Muhangi and surrounding areas, activities have been paralyzed following the ADF attack in Makoko. Students were sent home early due to fear," said a local resident on condition of anonymity.

This situation worries local civil society. It calls on the military authorities to quickly get to work to confront the enemy “who wants to destabilize this part that supplies the city of Butembo with food.”

It should be noted that the ADF rebels have, in recent days, intensified attacks in certain towns of Bapere and Baswagha in Lubero territory, causing deaths of men alongside the property of the population reduced to ashes.

Is willy Ngoma dead or alive or sidelined?FARDC and Wazalendo are eyeing Rubaya

Violent clashes are taking place this Wednesday, January 15, between the Congolese army and its allies and the M23/AFC rebels on several fronts in three of the six territories of North Kivu. Local sources speak of the FARDC advancing in Nyiragongo and Bwito. Clashes are also reported in several villages south of Lubero, notably in Kamandi Gite and Kibanda, located west of the rural commune of Kayna. Information from local and security sources indicates that the clashes began around 9 a.m. this Wednesday, January 15. These clashes are concentrated in the villages of Alimbongo and Luofu, approximately 60 kilometers from Lubero-centre. Explosions of heavy and light weapons were heard as far as Kayna and Kirumba, according to several civil society actors. In parallel, other fighting was reported further east, in the village of Luofu and around the rural area of ​​Kirumba. Security sources confirm these clashes, but without providing further details. They note that the FARDC, which maintains its initial positions, is responding to attacks by the M23 rebels, supported by Rwanda, by hitting rebel positions with artillery and combat helicopters. Tensions remain high in the region, with reports of reinforcements in men and ammunition on both sides.

RDF Strategy: A Maneuver, the terrorist RDF, are trying to outflank towards Virunga Park to reach Mubambiro. Mubambiro is located behind Sake, their objective being to bypass and attack Sake from the rear through a strategic outflanking. We can already anticipate their next move with this attempt at circumvention. The rise in power of the FARDC is a reality now fear has changed sides.

On the NYIRAGONGO axis, the Rwandan army has reinforced its men who have just launched the lightning offensive on the positions of the WAZALENDO / FARDC in Nditi. Some heavy weapons of the Rwandan army are firing from Rwandan territory. Not to mention that this area where the clashes are taking place is not far from Rwanda and the city of GOMA. We recommend the involvement of fighter planes to neutralize this Rwandan force which is targeting the city of GOMA.

The Congolese army and the Wazalendo are about to completely surround the mining city of Rubaya The northern, western and eastern positions of the city are already conquered, the battle continues for the southern positions still under the control of the M23 The city is already visible to the FARDC from the hills

The M23 in pain, abandons weapons and ammunition Apart from Rukara, the attackers are not on any other hill on the Ngungu side... the agglomeration of Ngungu remains in the hands of the FARDC-VDP (Wazalendo) The elements of the M23/RDF who, since 4am, have launched assaults to recapture this city that they lost 3 days ago, have come under fire from the coalition of loyalist forces and have just withdrawn to the Kasuku hill according to our sources. The Rwandan army has changed its strategy on all front lines to try to hide its dead. After the loss of its men, this Rwandan Army has just equipped its men with Burundian uniforms to try to manipulate the weak, namely the Burundian soldiers who die on the front lines. As they do not have evidence that can help them manipulate national and international opinion on the FARDC / WAZALENDO, now they have just attacked the Burundian army. NB: If these are Burundian soldiers who die in North Kivu, why are they buried in Rwanda?

Colonel Musa of the Wazalendo Resistance has just confirmed the death of Sultani MAKENGA's younger brother of the M23. According to this colonel, Sultani MAKENGA's little brother was among the commanders who coordinated operations around the strategic city of Ngungu - RUBAYA. Colonel Musa identified him among the bodies on the ground on the hill overlooking the city of Ngungu.

I see Rwandans mentioning Oscar Balinda as the spokesperson for the M23. So tell us: Willy Ngoma is no longer the spokesperson, or is he dead? It is conjugated in the past tense. Have you seen his appearances as he had the hemp-like and megalomaniacal fantasy of doing? Maybe he has been kicked out of this world. Information for Congolese members of the M23. A meeting was held in Kigali during which it was decided to exclude all Congolese from decision-making bodies because the phase of transplanting Rwandans to Kivu has begun. Remember Roger LUMBALA. The Rwandan movement in Congo has been drained of all substance. The snake is dead, it is only its tail that moves.

Wazalendo improves on use of ambushes as another 5 M23/RDF elements fall into the WAZALENDO ambush in Kiseguro,as fighting continues in Lubero on 14/1/2024

 

First of all, on January 10, 2025, the Collective of Movements for Change, People's Defense Forces succeeded in neutralizing a cohort of military expedition of the Rwandan army in the high mountains of Mitumba precisely in Kanaba.

This delegation of Rwandan soldiers came from Bunagana towards Kitshanga and Masisi.

The Rwandans and their President Paul Kagame are in indescribable mourning. Usually the CMC/FDP does not advocate the shedding of African blood but the expert tyrant in this matter Mr. Paul Kagame forced us to live this tragedy.

Secondly, on January 11, 2025, the locality of Kihondo Center in the territory of Rutshuru, chiefdom of Bwito was forcibly passed into the hands of CMC / FDP.

The sons and daughters engaged in the defense of the homeland succeeded at all costs in reconquering the city of Kihondo.

Thirdly, the CMC / FDP denounces the genocide that the Rwandan army is displaying. In Tongo Bungushu, the Rwandan army, to satisfy its appetite, continues to distribute anguish to the Congolese people by killing eight civilians picked up in Lusheghe on January 11, 2025, and their bodies were picked up on the edge of the PNVi behind Rushovu and Bungushu. Fourthly, on January 12, 2025, a clash of old leopards and lions was recorded in Masha, Bukombo group, where the famous lions were neutralized nine times.

The CMC/FDP welcomed this because the only sacred credo is now the defense of the Congolese homeland.

Fifthly, on January 12, 2025, the men and women of CMC/FDP did everything to reconquer the city and chief town of Kikuku. The men of Makenga did not swear by their natural oath to flee in the face of the builders of the Congolese Noah's Ark.

Sixthly, on January 13, 2025, the builders of the Congolese Noah's Ark were able to disarticulate the Rwandan army in Mulimbi, Tongo group, Rutshurub territory, where four of Kagame's sons were neutralized.

Seventhly, on January 13, 2025, the CMC/FDP elements did an impeccable job of sending nine elements of the Rwandan army to irrevocable hell in Muhanga in Rutshuru.

Eighthly, three elements of the Rwandan army were automatically neutralized by the professionals of CMC/FDP in Mulimbi group of Tongo territory of Rutshuru on January 13, 2025.

Lastly, the CMC/FDP amply congratulates its soldiers for their daily use of professionalism in their work, courage and self-sacrifice in the patriotic mission.

Fighting is raging this Tuesday, January 14 in several localities in the territory of Lubero (North Kivu) where the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo and the M23 rebels are at odds. This is particularly true in the villages of Kibanda, which is located between Luofu and Kayna.

According to our sources, the FARDC have intensified their operations in this area since Monday morning by pounding rebel positions. Tensions remain palpable, and the climate of insecurity is growing.

"This morning, we heard heavy weapons fire coming from Luofu towards Kayna, forcing several residents to suspend their activities. Since yesterday, Monday, in Kikuvo, shops and stores have remained closed. Many residents are staying in their plots and monitoring the situation. Several students and schoolchildren have returned home, fearing for their safety," describes a source in the area.

The FARDC have reinforced their forward defenses in Mambasa, while the M23, positioned at a distance from this locality, has established a fortress to prevent any advance by the army towards Alimbongo.

Other intense fighting has been reported between Paysana and Kiranga. Residents of the localities of Kirumba and Kayna report hearing the sound of heavy weapons, indicating the seriousness of the situation.

“For the moment, heavy and light weapons fire dominates the area of ​​Kamandi, Kikuvo and the eastern part of Luofu. The shots are ringing out everywhere, and it seems that the FARDC are heading towards Kayna, an area controlled by the M23. We fear hearing again about strategic withdrawals as in other areas recovered by the M23 rebels, leaving the population in danger. We ask the government to look into military operations, because diplomacy has not borne fruit,” .

Lumbishi in masisi liberated ,M23 retreated with heavy loss and casualties.

 

New fighting has been taking place since early morning on Monday, January 13, 2025, between elements of the M23/RDF coalition and the FARDC supported by the Volunteers for the Defense of the Homeland (VDP), commonly called "wazalendo" in Kiseguro, a locality located approximately 20 km from Kiwanja, in the Binza group, Bwisha chiefdom, in the Rutshuru territory (North Kivu). According to Isaac Kibira, deputy delegated official of the governor in the neighboring Bwito chiefdom and notable of Rutshuru, the wazalendo have launched new offensives against the M23 in order to dislodge them from this region. "The wazalendo went to track down the M23 elements in their positions at Kiseguro. A relative lull is also observed on the Sake-Kimoka axis where fighting was also reported, Sunday, on certain hills overlooking the city of Sake, 27 km from Goma, in the Masisi territory.In masisi,FARDC AND WAZALENDO liberated this Monday, January 13, 2025 the locality of lumbishi, . Wazalendo was heading towards mushaki and bihabwe by 4:15 p.m. in shasha in the mupfuni shanga group. The FARDC are moving the families of soldiers away from the front lines to strengthen the effectiveness of the troops against the M23. The wives and children of FARDC soldiers were relocated from Lubero to Beni last week. According to the territorial authority, this measure is part of the implementation of a directive from the military hierarchy. Colonel Kiwewa Mitela Alain, military administrator of the Lubero territory, justified this decision by specifying that a soldier cannot fight fully when he is exposed to the risk of seeing his loved ones affected by the clashes.

UNDERSTANDING UGANDA’s DEEP LINKS TO M23 REBELLION

January 11, 2025

The ongoing M23 rebellion in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has sparked significant debate regarding its origins, motivations, and external backers. 

While DRC authorities have often pointed fingers at Rwanda for allegedly supporting the group, a deeper analysis reveals that Uganda has a far more substantial connection to M23.

Here, we explore the historical and current links between M23 and Uganda, while also examining the political dynamics that have shaped perceptions of Rwanda’s alleged role.

HISTORICAL CONTEXT OF M23 LEADERSHIP AND RANK-AND-FILE.

Following their defeat in 2013, M23 rebels scattered across the region. 

While some sought refuge in Rwanda, the majority, including the group’s key leaders and rank-and-file members, relocated to Uganda. 

This is corroborated by reports from the United Nations Group of Experts on the DRC, which documented the presence of M23 fighters in Uganda. 

These fighters remained inactive for years, suggesting tacit acceptance or even protection by Ugandan authorities. 

By contrast, those who fled to Rwanda were disarmed and integrated into camps under international supervision, where they remain to this day.

The resurgence of M23 in 2022 points to Uganda’s role as a key enabler. 

Many of the current M23 leaders reportedly operated freely in Uganda, where they established businesses and maintained access to resources. 

This aligns with statements by Congolese President Félix Tshisekedi, who initiated contact with M23 leaders from Uganda during the early days of his administration. 

Reports indicate that Uganda facilitated these interactions, with the intention of leveraging M23 as a tool for influence in eastern DRC.

STRATEGIC GEOGRAPHY |  UGANDA’s BORDER and M23 ACTIVITIES.

M23’s current operational base in Eastern DRC is concentrated around Bunagana, a strategic town directly bordering Uganda. 

This location underscores Uganda’s logistical significance for the group. 

Supplies, reinforcements, and financial support can easily flow from Uganda into rebel-held territories, bypassing Rwandan borders entirely. 

By contrast, Rwanda’s geographical position relative to M23 strongholds makes its alleged logistical support far less plausible.

Moreover, Ugandan political and military figures have demonstrated an overt affinity for M23. General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, the son of Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni, and head of Uganda’s military, has publicly expressed admiration for the group. Such statements suggest a level of ideological alignment and potential covert support, further implicating Uganda as a primary external actor in the rebellion.

M23 leaders’ economic activities in Uganda further highlight their dependence on the country. Several commanders reportedly own property and businesses in Uganda, enabling them to sustain their operations. This economic integration into Uganda’s system reflects a long-standing relationship between the group and its host country.

Additionally, Uganda’s involvement in the DRC is multifaceted. While officially deployed to combat the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) under a joint agreement with Kinshasa, Uganda’s military presence also provides cover for other activities. 

The coexistence of Ugandan troops and M23 rebels in the same regions raises questions about potential coordination or, at the very least, a mutual understanding.

RWANDA’s DENIAL and TSHISEKEDI ’s POLITICAL CALCULATIONS.

Rwandan President Paul Kagame recently reiterated that Rwanda has no involvement with M23. 

This denial aligns with Rwanda’s historical approach of disarming and containing M23 fighters within its borders. 

Rwanda’s position is further supported by the lack of credible evidence linking it to the group’s resurgence in 2022. 

Instead, the accusations against Rwanda appear to stem from a broader political strategy by DRC authorities.

President Tshisekedi’s alignment with Uganda suggests a deliberate effort to shift blame onto Rwanda. 

This aligns with Uganda’s long-standing #rivalry with Rwanda, marked by historical attempts to undermine President Kagame’s government. 😱

As far back as 1996, Ugandan officials, including General Salim Saleh, were implicated in plans to support Rwandan exiles seeking to overthrow Kagame. This history of antagonism provides context for the current narrative linking Rwanda to M23.

Further evidence of Uganda’s involvement in subversive activities against Rwanda can be found in the revelations made by President Kagame himself. 

In a speech during the 16th government retreat in 2019, Kagame highlighted Uganda’s role in aiding Rwanda’s enemies over the past two decades. He described specific incidents, such as Uganda’s support for the Rwandan National Congress (RNC) and its leaders like Kayumba #Nyamwasa, as well as the arrest and torture of Rwandans like Rene #Rutagungira. 

Kagame also pointed out Uganda’s relationship with figures like Tribert Rujugiro, a wealthy Rwandan tycoon accused of funding subversive activities against Rwanda.#Rujugiro has since died. Kagame’s speech underscores Uganda’s persistent involvement in activities aimed at destabilizing Rwanda.

Additionally, Kagame referenced a series of meetings in 1998 between Seth Sendashonga, a former Rwandan internal security minister-turned-dissident, and Ugandan Generals including Gen. Saleh, as documented by French author Gérard Prunier in his book “Africa’s World War.” In this meeting, Sendashonga was reportedly encouraged to mobilize Rwandan exiles for rebellion against Kigali. These historical connections further highlight Uganda’s role in fostering anti-Rwanda sentiments and activities.

Uganda’s Broader Role in Regional Politics

Uganda’s strategic interests in the Great Lakes region extend beyond M23. Museveni has consistently provided refuge to Rwandan dissidents, including political and military figures opposed to Kagame. This policy aligns with Uganda’s historical role as a hub for exiled opposition groups. The presence of such individuals in Uganda underscores the country’s willingness to host actors hostile to Rwanda.

Additionally, Museveni’s influence over Tshisekedi has grown significantly, as evidenced by joint military operations and coordinated political strategies. 

This partnership suggests a broader agenda to isolate Rwanda regionally by framing Rwanda as the primary supporter of M23, Uganda and DRC aim to weaken Kagame’s government diplomatically and strategically.

THE NARRATIVE OF REGIME CHANGE

The framing of Rwanda as M23’s sponsor also aligns with the long-standing agenda of regime change targeting Kagame. 

Critics of Kagame’s government, including exiled opposition figures and regional actors, have historically sought to destabilize Rwanda. 

Museveni’s involvement in these efforts, dating back to his collaboration with exiled Rwandan politicians in the 1990s, reflects a persistent pattern.

The current narrative serves to discredit Rwanda internationally while bolstering Uganda’s regional influence. 

By positioning itself as an ally to the DRC, Uganda seeks to reshape regional dynamics in its favor. This strategy not only isolates Rwanda but also consolidates Museveni’s influence over Tshisekedi, ensuring Uganda’s dominance in the Great Lakes region. 🫣😳🫣

While #Rwanda remains a convenient scapegoat for M23’s activities, the evidence points to #Uganda as the group’s primary external enabler. 

⏏️From hosting M23’s leadership to facilitating their resurgence, Uganda’s role is both direct and significant. 

⏏️The geographical, economic, and political ties between Uganda and M23 further underscore this connection.

⏏️By contrast, Rwanda’s alleged involvement appears to be part of a broader political strategy aimed at isolating Kagame’s government. 

⏏️Tshisekedi’s alignment with Museveni reflects a calculated effort to shift blame onto Rwanda, despite Uganda’s well-documented links to M23. 

Understanding these dynamics is crucial for addressing the root causes of the conflict and fostering genuine regional stability.
