On Monday,Blackwater received authorization from the US government to deploy to the DRC in South Kivu, North Kivu, Tanganyika, Lwalaba, and Haut-Katanga.
This is the first team of private US forces to deploy before the US Forces.
The contract has already been signed between the Congolese government and Blackwater.
It is said that the M23 received an order from the US administration this weekend to leave the territories of North and South Kivu, starting with WALIKAKE, where Blackwater is already deployed with a few troops to secure the American tin company.
A security perimeter including WALIKAKE and Goma airport is included in the defense agreement between Kinshasa and Blackwater.
For now, the Blackwater group will use the Kinshasa military airport, the Kamina base, and the Kisangani airport to transport their logistics and equipment.
The deployment will begin in Walikake and then extend to all of South Kivu, North Kivu, Ituri, Tanganyika, Lwalaba, and Haut-Katanga.
Blackwater has more than 25,000 former Delta Force personnel, Green Berets, Marines, Navy Seals, and other CIA, NSA, and FBI personnel in its ranks, including 2,000 to 4,000 who will be deployed to eastern DRC with the necessary military equipment to deter any attempts by the Rwandan militia.
A gateway to a solution to this war that has already lasted 30 years.
