The FARDC announces significant progress in the fight against the ADF rebels in the far north of North Kivu province. In a media appearance this Tuesday, March 24 in Beni, Lieutenant Elongo Kyondwa Marc, spokesperson for Operation Sokola 1 Grand Nord, announced the neutralization of five (5) ADF terrorists, including Difenda Kasibante, an influential leader of the terrorists and of Ugandan nationality.
The neutralization operation was conducted jointly with the Ugandan army (UPDF) in the forest on the banks of the Lindi River, in Asangwa, in the Bapere sector.
According to our close military intelligence sources “During this targeted operation against a rebel stronghold led by AbouAkas(Abwakasi), the joint forces recovered four AK-47 type weapons and freed three hostages. In the same operational framework, soldiers from the 3203rd Infantry Regiment recaptured the locality of Muchacha, in the Mambasa territory, on Monday, March 23,” as stated.
The army warns all those who collaborate with negative armed groups destabilizing the eastern part of the country.
“Wherever you are, whatever you do with these jihadists, you are in the crosshairs of the FARDC and will be brought to justice, to avenge the blood of our brothers, sisters and soldiers who fell to defend the nation,” he added.
Brigadier General Mugisa Muleka Joseph, commander of the Sokola 1 Grand Nord operational sector and Northern Front, reassures the population: the FARDC are determined to put an end to the ADF-MTM-ISCAP phenomenon and to restore lasting security to allow the inhabitants to live and work in peace.
Despite a still fragile context, the FARDC affirms that the hunt for the ADF will continue relentlessly, until every pocket of these terrorists is dismantled and peace is fully restored in the east of the country.
