After the young patriotic resistance fighters managed to chase the M23 rebels in several hills around kilorirwe and burungu then control them for several hours this Wednesday 04/10, the M23 rebels received elements in reinforcements from their positions in Bwiza, and managed to dislodge the young self-defense workers from certain hills, due to their understaffing according to a source.

According to the latest news this evening, the rebels of m23 reoccupy the localities of Burungu, Rujebeshe as well as the surrounding hills of Burungu. The young resistance fighters retreated to the hills of Nyamitaba and surrounding areas. The hill called kichwa in the Rujugiro farm is controlled by the M23, while the young Patriot resistance fighters occupy the hills located in the Espoir farm.

In the Bashali Mukoto Group until 6:34 p.m., our local sources confirm harsh clashes in Kibarizo, Kirumbu and Busumba.There is a running rumour that the self proclaimed general who commanded the wazalendo on this attack may have been badly injured.

As I write this now,news from commanders on front line indicate that intensive intelligence,spying and reconnoitring is on high on both sides as high chance of more attacks awaits this coming dawn.
