The same situation is observed in the city of Kitshanga under the Burundian contingent.Local sources say that the rebels of M23 have occupied Kilolirwe again since yesterday evening. This morning, the city of Kitshanga wakes up to a relative calm.
The rebels of M23 who were in positions in Bishusha have disappeared, and have advanced to get closer to Kitshanga , which leads us to believe that this city still remains under threat from the M23.
According to our sources, the young patriotic resistance fighters, not being supported in weapons and munitions of war during 6 days of fighting which they waged relentlessly, hung up from Kilolirwe, retreating to kabati.The M23 rebels occupy Kilolirwe this morning.
Meanwhile, the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo say they are continuing to respect the cease fire.
As an expert on the situation in Kivu,the pictures and the Observation on the ground ,situation within the surrounding area indicate that M23 is preparing and ready for a big attack.M23 is a force that has relied much on clandestine operations before a retaliatory offensive and from the words,pictures and confidence of their high command ,it is a great emanation that they are cooking something big.It may be a direct attack on goma or a retaliatory counter attack on Masisi.
