The security situation remains tense in the Fizi highlands
Contrary to some circulating rumors, the security situation remains very tense in the Fizi highlands.
According to our sources on the ground, the town of Angúlé is indeed under the control of the M23 Twirwaneho/AFC rebels. No FARDC or Wazalendo forces have repelled them so far.
Important clarification: we never claimed that the rebels had already entered Mulima. We indicated that they were at the gates of this town. To date, no FARDC member has been able to provide a video from Angúlé dated Sunday, September 6, proving otherwise.
Furthermore, several sources close to the security situation indicate that Blackwater mercenaries under Erik Prince have regrouped in Uvira. According to these same sources, Uvira is considered a strategic location allowing them to retreat should the area fall under rebel control.
We call for an end to the intimidation, death threats, and arrests targeting journalists. The population has the right to be informed of the true situation in the country.
