Some adjustiment in death penalty ruling in DRC military courts

 

Another intelligence officer arrested for confiding with M23

 

The City of GOMA thought it had intelligence agents who help security agents do their job, but it is the opposite. After the arrest of two intelligence directors from the city of Goma for complicity with the M23RDF, here is again the Chief Warrant Officer CLARISSE_MAHORO. She is from Unit Bn HQ 34 of the North Kivu Military Region, and was arrested Tuesday March 12 in Goma. She held the position of intelligence agent of the 34th Military Region since 2014 at the Goma border post(commonly known as Grand barrier). She is accused of being the hub of the M23RDF in Goma. She has been in constant contact with colonel Makenga andBisimwa and helps move goods across the border into Rwanda. She maintains close ties with senior M23RDF executives,has been feeding ladies into GOMA for espionage operations and knows all the M23RDF hideouts in Goma.she takes images of the FARDC to feed the propaganda of the RDF terrorists on social media.She is the one who took the photos of Romanian instructors in the mortuary after attack on sake.This surprises more than one person because it is difficult to accept the fact that those responsible for intelligence, those who are supposed to guide the security services to bring order, are themselves in complicity. The question then is: have they really given good information to the FARDC since the start of this war?? Did they really help the DRC? Since the incident of Brigadier General Biagolo Ngondo,I have for two days invested much of my time into critical study of the traitors inside the Congolese military intelligence circles.These Biagolo and Clarisse incidence clearly show rot in  FARDC intelligence.I tried to make investigative research from ANR(domestic) and former DEMIAP members who told me that treason and traitors are the ones who have made this war difficult.These confidants informed me of a scenario in recent General Chiko command ,where his deputies had confided with enemy to have him arrested.They gave the enemy commander FARDC uniforms and commanded the army to withdraw from Rwindi,but a captain had already alerted General Chiko of the plan to have him betrayed by his deputies and he instead had to withdraw after knowing that his command had been surrounded.Each of these deputies who had planned to betray General Chiko had been give an amount of 50,000US $.

Colonel Ga Byinshi Gakunzi of M23 killed by FARDC missiles in an Ambush .

 Colonel Byinshi [photo below] had defected to M23 around March 3, 2023 and it was in March again that he was killed. Who is this Colonel Byinshi Colonel Byinshi Gakunzi Moïse, who had joined the Zairian army (FAZ) in the Mibunda region of the Itombe territory in South Kivu. Around 1991, he entered the Kagera,  located near  Uganda, Rwanda and Tanzania to join RPA for, according to them, which was meant for the liberation of Rwanda. In the struggle for the liberation of Rwanda, Colonel Byinshi fought, until 1996, he returned to Zaire to fight against President Mobutu Seseko Kukungwendo Wazabanga. After that, he joined the RCD GOMA, serving in Uvira, Baraka and Minembwe.Yesterday,the Wazalendo led an attack on his convoy that killed colonel Gakunzi and all his body guards.

General Chico Tshitambwe did not order the withdraw of soldiers from Rwindi!!

  The order to evacuate Rwindi was not given by General Chico, but rather by his deputies based in Rwindi in complicity with the head of the locality of Rwindi who would have played a key role in this game. According to the revelations from sources on thebfronline, at least 6 people have already been arrested and transferred to Kinshasa, among them the head of the locality of Rwindi as well as the general's two deputies.The error in our army: We change the Operations Commanders for inefficiency, but we leave the same deputies. These deputies have been there for years, they do tricks, betray, give bad orders, etc. but in the end, it is No. 1 who bears responsibility for the failure. Today General Chico is singled out following the failure in his area of command, but we forget that he works with the same deputies who brought down several cities, they became familiar with their troops, etc. Let's just take the example of the one who was based in Rwindi. This commander had brought down the city of Katsiru while he received all possible alerts. He had a lot of elements and ammunition in Rwindi, but he told the elements based in Katsiru to manage the war. Finally in one day of fighting, Katsiru had fallen. This same Commander, instead of changing him, is led but we change the overall commander. Do you see the error?? And there are many officers who order withdrawals without consulting their superiors, or who give false information to their superiors, etc. the General Staff must also see the case of these officers there. 

Vitchumbi falls in hands of M23 as congolese civilians continue demanding explanations as to why FARDC is withdrawing giving a free entry for the rebels to capture more areas.

  Vitshumbi, located approximately 130 kilometers north of the city of Goma, on the west coast of the Lake Edward would have come under the control of the M23 rebels and the Rwandan army this Monday March 11 according to certain local sources on site. The same sources added that the DRC army gave up without fighting, letting the rebels enter peacefully. In Masisi, it is reported that the M23 rebels withdrew from the locality of Kalembe last Sunday night, thus strengthening their positions in Kashuga. Note that some 24,000 people live in Vitshumbi and since November and the massive outbreak of the rebellion, this fishing town was cut off from the provincial capital, Goma, on which its survival depended. Goma will also have a fish deficiency, the bulk of which came from vitchumbi. After the capture of the town of Vitchumbi on Monday March 11, the M23 rebels and their allies held a meeting with the local population. 

The latter wanted to communicate their orientations and the course of action to be followed by the inhabitants whom they say they are “liberating”. Among the measures communicated by the rebels, is the opening of traffic on Kiwanja Vitchumbi for traders who will be escorted by their elements. The rebels say they are calling on the various leaders of this town, who fled shortly before their arrival, to return without delay for fear of being replaced by others of their persuasion. The same is being sent as a message to residents who have fled, who the rebels say risk losing their homes if they do not return. Note that Vitchumbi fell without shots being fired, the local residents say they saw the elements of the loyalist army break out the day before with their equipment. 

The local population is not happy with the FARDC's tactic.Many civil society organisations have angrily put up publications denouncing the act of folding their hands in the face of The advancing rebels.“The Forces Vives du Nord-Kivu civil society remains astounded by the fact that the FARDC continues to cling to a shameless defensive military tactic in the face of the dazzling advances of the M23-RDF terrorists in the Territory of Masisi and Rutshuru for more than two years since the resurgence of this sad rebellion”

The civilians are not happy with some commanders,they say that they only go to sleep in,with all sorts of luxury without thinking about war.They continue to say that FARDC should totally trust Wazalendo instead of trusting the rotten commanders who are the main source of FARDC's misfortunes.The civilians were furious on the way one commander in names of Biagolo spends his time in lavish style in hotels and they continue to say that Wazalendo had warned the Gorvenment about the same general.The civilians say"And now, while the fronts are raging,Brigadier General BIAGOLO is filming pornographic films and sex tapes in hotels in Goma with Rwandan girls. More serious, carried away by love, he gives his outfits to the girl and the girl wears the General's outfit with rank peeps and publishes on TikTok. Tiktok.The wazalendo are prophets in their home! The fardc command is rotten and is at the root of all the difficulties.The Gorvenment must leave the task to the wazalendo."

M23 nearly holding the whole of Rutshuru as wazalendo and some civilians still claim that UPDF was on frontline with M23 !

 In grouping of Binza , the FARDC stil hold their positions from Kisharu 30km from the city of Kiwanja center to Ishasha on the Congolese-Uganda border.

Many Congolese and the Wazalendo say that, General chiko owes the explanations to the Congolese population. On his order, the FARDC withdrew to Rwindi which was a strategic base to reinforce BINZA and KANYABAYONGA, MUTANDA, KIHONDO etc.... Through this withdrawal, the m23 soldiers managed to recover the localities of KITUNDA, KASHUGA and IBUNGA, thus getting closer to KALEMBE where until late the clashes between the WAZALENDO and the M23-RDF coalition were around Muhongozi and its surroundings came back under military control m23. The M23 Soldiers who had not yet succeeded in controlling 3/4 of the territory of RUTCHURU, in just 4 days they have just crossed 2 Groups including MUTANDA AND KIHONDO, and completely taken the BUKOMBO Group. Almost the entire territory of Rutchuru has just come under the control of the Rwandan Aggressors except 2 Groups including KANYABAYONGA in the Bwito chiefdom and BINZA in the BWISHA chiefdom. These two Groups are also vulnerable with the withdrawal of the FARDC to Rwindi which was a strategic base to reinforce BINZA, KANYABAYONGA, MUTANDA and KIHONDO.... NB: General chiko who is responsible for operations on the RWINDI axis can explain how these Rwanda aggressors managed to recover these 2 Groups in 4 days and why he asked the FARDC to make the withdrawal to Rwindi. As the FARDC has just demonstrated this weakness, we are asking for their heavy weapons and ammunition to drive out these Rwandan aggressors. General Chico's fault is only that he himself was not present in Rwindi yesterday. He was concentrated in Kirumba. I'm not sure it was him who gave the order to leave Rwindi without a fight. I surely believe that the commander of Rwindi had either misinformed him or made the decision without asking him first. Those who are with us know very well that we denounced the behavior of the command of Rwindi here during the capture of Katsiru by the enemy. He was asked to reinforce the position of Katsiru because the enemy was preparing attacks on this city, but his response was: “FEED WITH WHAT YOU HAVE” (Testimony of an element at the Katsiru front that day) . Consequences, Katsiru had fallen while Rwindi was overmilitarized. So I believe that General Chico should not have had too much confidence in these people. Anyway, he's alone, he can't be everywhere at the same time. It is up to the competent authorities to change the deputy/commanders of the bases suspected of treason. We can change the heads of operations, but as long as the deputy heads always remain the same, then the results will obviously always be the same too. 

Since yesterday, Major General Chico Tshitambwe has been reorganizing the troops of the Congolese army on several axes, particularly around Kikuku to prevent the progress of the rebels and to respond.Major General CHIKO, commander of Rwindi axis operations, was in Kanyabayonga and will set up his headquarters in Lubero.

 Since Friday March 8,there has been a rumour circulating within the population that 3 jeeps of the Ugandan military and a white armored truck, entered RUTCHURU center in the position of the M23 at PENA.This rumour still held that Ugandan soldiers who had attacked the city of NYANZALE, returned to RUTCHURU center with their heavy weapon which was on the front line in NYANZALE. This rumour still went on further by indicating that the Weapon is one of several others in the Ugandan army's allocation to reinforce the Rwandan military (M23), would be among those that Uganda had sent across the Congo as part of the EAC mission.However,some people still look a this as a way the Wazalendo and other partners are trying to spoil the Uganda -DRC relations and neither the Congolese military intelligence or domestic intelligence has said anything on the claim that UPDF is supporting M23.President Museveni categorically has always been saying that this war is an internal conflict and thus UPDF cannot be involved.But the maimai,the Wazalendo see Museveni as being hypocritical in his utterances.

The DRC miltary intelligence reports:Rutshuru politicians arrested for conniving with m23

The 5 alleged M23 accomplices arrested in Goma were presented to the press in Kinshasa. Among them, 2 elected provincial deputies from North Kivu: Honorable Alain Aliongera, member of the FCC of the former Congolese president Joseph Kabila and Honorable Hope Sabini Kibuya, member of Ensemble pour la République of the opponent Katumbi. There is also Germain Ngoa, Ngera Alio and Gabriel Imani.     .Among the  presented to the press in Kinshasa is the honorary deputy HOPE SABINI KUBUYA, then elected deputy for the electoral constituency of Rutshuru. According to General Sylvain EKENGE BOMUSA EFOMI spokesperson for the FARDC, this former elected official admitted to having worked with the M23 as the main recruiter and mobilizer of young people in Goma and Rutshuru under a promise. He added that he had the promise of becoming vice-governor of the province of North Kivu, once the city of Goma was taken by rebel fighters. To the list of two deputies presented is also added Mr. Cyrille MUHONGYA MAFUKULO, then advisor in a ministry in the province of North Kivu. The presentations will continue, indicates the army.

M23 claims taking over nyanzale at a cost of heavy casualities!

 Late yesterday evening, the M23_RDF finally managed to break through the FARDC defence and Wazalendo from Ngoroba and Lushebere until taking the villages Kirima and Kashalira from where the Kibirizi-Nyanzale road was cut. The FARDC only stayed in Kibingu and Kibirizi with the Kibirizi road to Rwindi and to Kanyabayonga. The Congolese army also ensured control of SOMIKIVU, Bwalanda, Katwe and Kikuku up to Kanyabayonga. The populations of Kirima and Kibirizi walked all night to Rwindi to Kanyabayonga where they arrived around 2 a.m. and 3 a.m. this Wednesday, fleeing the advance of the M23 rebels.
 .After taking the regions of Nyanzale, Kirima and Kashalira this Wednesday March 6, the rebels continued their route to Kikuku. The village of Kibingu located less than 7 km from Kibirizi has also come under the control of the M23 and its allies who have been heading towards Bwalanda since the beginning of the afternoon. Civilian populations analyzing the situation believe that the coalition forces alongside the DRC government have given the rebels enough time to arm themselves more and launch their offensives while being in a good position. These clashes are the basis of the massive displacements of families in these areas affected by the violence. There are also scenes of looting of residents' property in certain areas.Two heavy trucks full of dead bodies were seen this evening crossing from Nyanzare.As I talk and my confidant writes,now,reports and observation still indicate  chaos in Nyanzale as both sides try to face each other with transportation of casualties.with M23 having no direct ammunition supply. M23 is trying to establish a ring so as to get smooth reinforcements.

There was also fighting in South Kivu. The localities Kajembwe, Murafura, Irango and Mugeti in the highlands, in the Bijombo grouping in Uvira territory have been under fire since 5 a.m. this morning by the suspected Twiraneho_M23_RDF coalition, according to residents on site

M23 opens various fronts in attempt to take over Nyanzale ,the birth place of Colonel Makenga!

 Since 4:30a.m. this Monday, March 24. The detonations of heavy weapons have been heard on several hills overlooking the city of Nyanzale in Rutshuru territory. It is notably in Kishishe, Kiyeye, Kasoko and in Rwankuba and Mubirubiru where the M23 rebelsAfter the reinforcement of the rebel troops of the M23_RDF in Bambo all weekend showing the intentions of cutting the road linking kibirizi to Nyanzale to give them the green light to occupy the SOMIKIVU, this morning they launched the attacks on FARDC positions west of Bambo in the entities of Muti, Kauma, Nyabiteja and Mumo. In the northern part of Bambo, fighting happendb in Lushebere after Kishishe. Bombs were falling towards Kirima, about 17km from Kibirizi. Still in the territory of Rutshuru, other clashes were reported in Rusinga in the Kihondo grouping, moving straight towards the city of Nyanzale. In this attempt to conquer the cities of NYANZALE, RWINDI, th rebels encountered stiff resistance. After this Defeat, they fired a bomb into the city of Nyanzale.

Many dead bodies of young M23 soldiers were packed in a lorry .Reports from the field  by around 8:30pm imdicate that there was some confusion that arose in the town of Nyanzale.But Wazalendo claim to have repulsed all these attempts by M23.

There is a lot reporters must be careful about in this war,it is war that has tried to meet a lot of reports of which many are misleading.As iof this multi front fire was opened today,M23 reported of various victories ,and at the same time ,the Wazalendo claiming victories.Photos from different social media and online news outlets are fanatical on either sides but actually reality on the ground is different.

But to reality,many young people died during this fighting today,with a lot dead bodies loaded in lorries!

The situation is calm in the city of Nyanzale in the territory of Rutshuru since 10 p.m., an entity which remains under the control of the FARDC and the young resistance fighters Wazalendo. The M23 rebels who were already in Singa and on Bushweshwe hill were pushed back. The still provisional  dead toll increased from 8 deaths during the day to 12 this evening (all civilians), and several injured including 7 who arrived in the locality of Kikuku according to our sources in the area. In the city of Bambo since 7 p.m., the population was emptying towards Kabizo fleeing bombs which fell in this city. No injuries or deaths have been reported so far. All attempts by M23 rebels to overflow from Lushebere and Rwindi to attack Kirima and thus progress until cutting off the Kibirizi_Nyanzale road were stopped and repelled by the FARDC and self-defense youth. Our sources in Bambo estimate that the M23 rebels and their RDF allies have just suffered enormous losses this Monday, a KAMAZ brand truck is still parked full of dead bodies in their Gite position, covered with tarpaulins .
