According to intelligence sources,a three-day joint meeting between the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (FARDC) and the Uganda People's Defense Forces (UPDF) opened in Kinshasa as we learned from military sources.
The meeting focuses on revising the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) governing joint military operations in North Kivu and Ituri provinces, as part of the fight against the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF). Experts from both armies are reviewing existing technical arrangements and are expected to finalize a report, which will be signed on Saturday. This is the first meeting between Lieutenant General Jules Banza Mwilambwe, Chief of the General Staff of the FARDC, and General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, Commander of the UPDF and son of Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni, who arrived in Kinshasa as part of the assessment of Operation Shujaa.

Launched on November 30, 2021, Operation Shujaa is a joint military initiative of the FARDC and the UPDF aimed at neutralizing the ADF, a group accused of massacres of civilians in the DRC and attacks in Uganda. Several ADF strongholds have been dismantled since the operation began, notably between the villages of 47 and Kota-Okola, near Mamove.
In May 2024, the two armies had already carried out a joint assessment, noting partial successes in the fight against terrorist groups.
In a video reporting on the conclusions of the work on the memorandum of understanding related to the hunt for Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) jihadists in North Kivu (East) and Ituri (Northeast), it was announced that the signing will take place on Saturday, June 21, 2025, in Kinshasa, by the two chiefs of staff of the two countries' armed forces.
