This is a summerised over view of all army officers and their assignments:Many FARDC officers see the appointment of General Sikabwe Asinda by President Tshisekede as Chief of the Land Force as a big problem.

Lieutenant-General Sikabwe Asinda who was appointed the new Chief of Staff of the Land Force of the Democratic Republic of the Congo by the presidential order.
According to many senior officers in the army, the new Land Force Chief of Staff, General Sikabwe Asinda is not a man with a good heart to the Congolese army and the country itself. He had been recalled in Kinshasa, due to legal proceedings against General Fall Sikabwe.
The case is making great noise in the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (FARDC). For several weeks now, military personnel in the East of the country fighting the ADF rebellion and armed groups pulling up in the Beni area have been wondering about the disappearance of their December 2019. bonus. At the heart of the dispute: $ 100.000 that should have been donated to soldiers fighting East. Several soldiers have denounced these suspicions of misappropriation to their hierarchy. First, only Lieutenant-Colonel Édouard Ngoy (aka Edo Mupatase) is auditioned and placed in pre-trial detention.
But at the heart of this possible system of corruption, many witnesses target General Fall Sikabwe, the commander of the 3th defense zone, of which Edward Ngoy is the personal accountant. Another soldier is also quoted: General Tshaligonza, commander of the Great North Operational Sector. This is not the first time General Fall Sikabwe has been controversial. In 2015, his appointment by Joseph Kabila to the command post of North Kivu caused the suspension of cooperation between the Monusco peacekeepers and the Congolese army. The United Nations believed it could not work with this general, accused of serious human rights violations.
Another money embezzlement business is circulating around Fall Sikabwe. When the general was in charge of the command of the military region of Goma, a dark story of Jeep Prado's purchase assigned to the heads of departments, had already alerted some of the Congolese army executives. $ 600.000 had been awarded for the purchase of these vehicles. But General Sikabwe would then have decided to buy 10 used Jeeps from the Sudanese army for $ 150.000 $. ′′ Net profit: $ 450.000!" denounce Congolese military.
A report of the Discipline Council of the Congolese army recommended legal proceedings against the commander of the 3th zone of defence of the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), General Fall Sikabwe.
The officer is suspected, according to the results of the investigation recently sent to the FARDC Chief of Staff General Célestin Mbala, of diverting money to pay from the military bonus.
The lawsuit will be accompanied by a ban on the person concerned from joining his workstation in Bukavu.
It should be recalled that General Fall Sikabwe visited Ituri on Sunday, February 16, 2020. The commander of the 3th defense zone was at the head of a strong team but the purpose of his mission was not to make the bonus first known.
A visit to this corner of the Republic in a tense context with the intensification of attacks attributed to Ugandan rebels in the territory of Mambassa and Irumu, as well as those of the CODECO militia, active in the territory of Djugu and Mahagi.

And this has been taken into account in the development of this quick-impact project to reward and recognize the will of the people of Kibumba to work for peace ", said Julius Fondong, during his inauguration speech.

DRC's Chief of land forces is in BUKAVU to launch the biometric registering and identification of FARDC soldiers.

DRC's Chief of Staff of land forces is in Bukavu to launch military biometric recording operation.This meant to biometrically register all forces in South kivu in bid to recognize and identify all FARDC soldiers in the region.The need for this form of identification is a result of various deserters , alleged infiltrators and mutinous groups in the region of Kivu That has pepertually provided a fertile ground to various rebel groups and insecurity.

Head of state of DRC Felix Antoine Tshisekede has sanctioned planners of the Katanga massacres. Soon Kyabula Jacques and John Numbi will be under arrest!

According to reliable sources, a counterpart of Governor Kyabula has leaked several plans of the March 13, 2020. massacre.
The investigation continues to find around thirty of the missing UDPS members abducted by the militia of John Numbi and Governor Kyabula whose relatives continue to claim their return with family.
However, several security sources investigating the July 9 and the July 13 massacre say that by canceling the July 13 march, Moise Katumbi thwarted a bloodbath, and conclude that Governor Kyabula is involved, and will have to answer before justice.
Several NGO members investigating these massacres in Congo, France and Belgium believe that the president of the DRDCONGO must immediately arrest Governor Kyabula for committing a massacre in complicity with General John Numbi. They also want the president to order an international investigation to inform national and international opinion of these massacres which now fall into the rank of crimes against humanity, suggesting that the responsible authorities in the province have planned to trigger ethnic cleansing in Lubumbashi and in the great Katanga.
Diplomatic sources under anonymity do not hesitate to call for the arrest of Governor Kyabula and John Numbi as well as an international investigation into what is now known as the Lubumbashi massacre of UDPS members in the March of 9 July 2020, 2020.
In another related issue, General Celestine Mbala may also get in hot soup after he failed to provide take-home allowances to FARDC officials as the president has instructed via an official letter.This leaked shows that the president has allowed a given some of money to be given to officers which thing the chief of staff of FARDC ,did not do..and officers want to know where the money went.

Until then Deputy Chief of General Staff in charge of operations and intelligence, General Gabriel Amisi (Tango Four) has been appointed Inspector General of FARDC.

He gives way to lieutenant general Yav Kabey Jean Claude. Gabriel Amisi replaces John Numbi.
Gabril Amisi was recently very involved in so-called large-scale operations in the provinces of North and South Kivu as well as Ituri.
According to the Organic Law which governs the Inspectorate General of the Armed Forces, the task of the Inspector General of the Armed Forces is to monitor the application of the law, directives and instructions concerning the operation of the Armed Forces.

", said Ida Sawyer, Deputy Director for Africa at Human Rights Watch (HRW) in September 2019, following a meeting with Félix Tshisekedi.
As a reminder, in December 2016, Gabriel Amisi Kumba had been sanctioned by the Council of the European Union for his role in ′′ obstacles to the electoral process in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and related human rights violations ".
While he was deputy chief of staff in charge of RCD-Goma's troop logistics, Gabriel Amisi is accused by some NGOs including HRW of being at the head of troops which in September 2002 massacred at least 56 civilians and probably abducted many others, during an offensive against a Mai-Mayi militia allied to the Congolese government in Kisangani.

Civil society and DRC NGOs denounce the claimed infiltration and domination of Rwandese in the Army(FARDC)

According to Freddy monanga, and alot of NGOs including VSV, regrets the occupation of strategic positions and functions in the army and police of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, well-identified Rwandan subjects, who, overall, suffocate the General sons of the country, this is the case General Bisengimana who plays an important role in the police of the country and since his arrival does not leave air to General Célestin Kanyama , complaint by civilians and some police officers in kinshasha.Police men in kinshasha still complain that ,the whole intelligence section in police is totally infiltrated to the extent that they nolonger feel it is  a Congolese department.There is a feeling that every information first goes to Kigali before even it gets implementation by kinshasha gorvenment.
Local wonder how the DRC can one day win the war against Rwanda. It's who's funny even Mzee had named the young Rwandan General, Kabarhebe, to head the national army, but oddly, even the former Congolese military have agreed to submit on this  Rwandan.
Mbuji Mayi and Kananga were led by General Obed, a blood Rwandan. It must be said that the Rwandan generals have infiltrated the army of the DRC for over 20 years, in the knowledge and experience of the President of the Republic, guaranteeing the proper functioning of the institutions. All these individuals have been appointed by decree of ′′ Joseph Kabila ′′ within the FARDC with the passive complicity of Congolese generals, who see nothing, say nothing, and the consequences are unfortunate.
Today the home son is subject to a sanction and yet Kanyama must enjoy privileges as Congolese. From London, our investigations reveal that Rwandan generals are in good control of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, from East to West, from South to North. They have become very strong internally. They regularly have meetings on the phone during the week, to give each other the instructions. They stand in solidarity and know how to protect their own.

And here are the actors of the crimes organized against the Democratic Republic of the Congo under Paul Kagame and his FPR, in these days at the command of a whole country. In a related discomfort, Congolese civil society are not happy about kagame's special envoy to CONGOLESE army.

Several sources confirm that General David Rugayi sengabo is Paul Kagame's special envoy to the Congolese Army, is in charge of destabilizing the EAST of Congo and leader of all Rwandan infiltrators in the Congolese Army.
With several investigations carried out by civil society, this Rwandan General infiltrated into the Congolese Army is at the base of everything that is happening in the EAST.
Here are some of his works:
- In 2014, this Rwandan captured officials and other notabilities in Uvira territory.
- Various cases of execution and human rights violations in the EAST.
- Cases of torture and inhuman and degrading treatment on an officer of the Congolese National Police in the territory of Djugu, province of ituri.
- support some communities at the expense of others.
- Illicit weapons traffics and the illicit exploitation of mining resources in North, South Kivu and ituri.
(cfr report of UN Security Council experts in November 2009)
- In view of the security environment in the 3 territories (fizi, Uvira and mwenga) the War in the high and medium plateau, the infiltration reported at the EAST of Congo, this Rwandan officer is at the base.
Another source has said that the so-called banyamulenges condemn this Rwandan officer to be the causal agent of conflict that reigns Today between these Tutsis and the autoctone population in the high and medium plateau (Minembwe and its surroundings).
The civil society pleads to President Felix Tshisekedi to arrest this criminal infiltrated in the Congolese Army.
