North Kivu:The security situation report!

  ....LIVE FROM THE FRONTLINE.........

The security situation at midday on Thursday March 21 is such that Major General CHICO TSHITAMBUE is rumoured to have  been called to Kinshasa with a few other senior officers, as part of investigations into the fall of the large rear base of operations against the M23_RDF from Rwindi. However, no military authority has yet expressed itself on these facts stated in a telegram circulating on social networks, dating from March 20. On the front lines, a lull is observed on the axis  Sake_Minova passing through Shasha, where at 9:35 a.m. in the morning, the M23 rebels fired 2 bombs at a food transport boat which was leaving Minova for Goma, but were unable to reach it. Since 4 a.m., clashes between M23 rebels and young patriotic resistance fighters called Wazalendo have been reported in Kirumbu and Mpati. It is 2:01 p.m., these fights continue, according to our sources in the region. During the night of Wednesday in this Thursday during clashes between the M23 rebels and a unit of the CMC_Nyatura group which was on patrol towards Katendere, 3 dead and 1 injured on the M23-RDF side and 2 dead on the Wazalendo side CMC, this is the report reaching us .In reinforcement of the M23 positions, 3 KAMAZ brand trucks filled with soldiers and 10 4X4 jeeps leaving the Rwindi road towards Kikuku, passed through Bwalanda. Several sources affirm that some of these soldiers arrived in Kitshanga and Kilolirwe, and others went to Kibarizo.In nyiragongo,there was a security meeting between the political leaders of the area with the  wazalendo's to assess the sicurity situation.A few minutes ago,  FARDC and Wazalendo  entered the strategic village of Shasha .As of now,the fighting is continuing on the nearby hills.

....we need to fight terrorism.....

Domestic products prices,transport fares abnormally rises up in Masisi

 In Masisi-Centre, a packet of salt which used to cost 500 FC, is currently being negotiated between 2,500 and 3,000 FC. The suffering of the population is only increasing. 1 person is forced to pay 80,000 or even 100,000 FC for a trip on a motorcycle, minus the multiple hassles. Making a round trip has become a miracle on this road where the population must face two forces (RDF, Fardc_wazalendo) before reaching the city of Goma. Besides that, the harassment of armed men everywhere on the road.

UPDF alerts on an infiltration by ADF terrorists,the grobal terror index reports more terror threats globally

 

As Uganda alerts of an infiltration by some ADF terrorists,let's us look at the grobal index of terrorism as shared by the Kenyan counter terrorism police.As it is stressed out,information about terrorists should not be  classified information, it should get out to public, for the fight against terror must start with the civilian population.

Sub-Saharan Africa countries continue to bear the brunt of terrorism leading to deaths and affecting economies.

Terrorism thrives in countries with existing conflicts hence there is need to address conflict situations to guarantee peace and security.

Terrorism in all its manifestations remains a global threat that States need to work together to reduce its impact and harm to guarantee peace and security.

It's alarming that terrorist groups  continue to kill innocent people, cause fear and pandemonium across the world.

Fighting terrorism requires States to collaborate by sharing information/intelligence, security agencies to conduct joint trainings, carry out joint counter terrorism operations, develop stringent counter terrorism laws and arrest/prosecute terrorists within their jurisdictions to act as deterrence to engaging in terrorism activities.

States, United Nations and other global institutions need also to firmly condemn States engaging in State sponsored terrorism.

Terrorism is a transnational crime that can be best dealt with through global partnership.

As a regional counter terrorism superpower, Kenya has been instrumental in providing leadership in the fight against terrorism in the region.

It remains Somalia's dependable partner in fighting AlShabaab, which is significantly degraded but still poses a threat in the region.

States need to support Somalia in fighting AlShabaab to make the region safe and secure.

Countries need to deploy human and material resources to fight terrorism to safeguard people and properties.

It's clear terror groups are our enemies that need to be fought on air, land and sea.

Terrorism is claiming many innocent people globally hence stakeholders need to do everything humanly possible to reverse the trend.

It's instructive to note that war against terrorism is too important to be left to governments alone.

Citizens remain first line of defense in war on terror by providing information to security agencies for action.

Somali prime minister chairs a security meeting

 

Somali Prime Minister Hamsa Abdi Barre chaired a security meeting regarding the country's security situation, particularly focusing on military operations and ensuring the safety of the capital following the deadly al-Shabab attack on a hotel near the presidential palace in Mogadishu.

Attending Sunday's meeting in Mogadishu were the Minister of Defence, the Acting Minister of Internal Security, commanders of the military, police, and intelligence, the Attorney General, the Governor of Banadir Region and the Mayor of Mogadishu.The army commander provided a brief report on the country's security during the holy month of Ramadan, ongoing military operations, and the recent al-Shabab attack on the SYL hotel.

The Prime Minister stressed the importance of security agencies being more vigilant and ensuring the safety of the nation, remaining alert to al-Shabab attacks aimed at endangering the Somali people's safety.

He also underscored the significance of eradicating the Al-Shabaab terrorists and enhancing cooperation between the army and the civilian population.

Three government soldiers were killed, and 27 others, including 18 civilians and three lawmakers, were wounded in the hours-long siege at the SYL Hotel, which is popular among government officials.

On Sunday, at least 18 of the most severely wounded people from Thursday's al-Shabab attack on the SYL hotel in Mogadishu were airlifted to Turkey for treatment.

SADC knows it well that it is facing an M23 with sophisticated weaponary systems

 The Southern African Development Community (SADC) mission to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is, reports have it, facing an M23 rebel grouping with high-tech armament at its disposal.

M23 is an abbreviation of the March 23 Movement (Mouvement du 23 mars in French) also known as the Congolese Revolutionary Army and comprising mostly Tutsis. It is based in the eastern DRC and operates mainly in North Kivu province.

United Kingdom based defence and security information provider Jane’s earlier February reported “sophisticated guided mortar rounds” were being used against government FARDC (Forces Armées de la République Démocratique du Congo) forces in North Kivu.

At the same time, Agence France-Presse (AFP) reported that the rebel group had “sophisticated weapons” including surface-to-air missiles (SAMs). One, suspected to be ex-Rwandan Defence Force (RDF), was fired at a UN (United Nations) “observation drone”, but did not hit it, the publication quotes a “confidential report” as stating. The unmanned aerial vehicle in question was a UN Falco EVO aircraft, which managed to capture footage of the missile launcher.

“External military intelligence from France supports assessment that the suspected WZ551 6×6 IFV mobile SAM system is Rwandan,” according to the report seen by AFP.

Two images attached to the report show a six-wheeled armoured vehicle with a roof-mounted radar and missile launcher system, indicating a Type 92 Yitian version of the WZ551 armoured personnel carrier.

The photos were taken by the targeted UAV about 70 km north of Goma, provincial capital of North Kivu in rebel-held Rutshuru territory.

The UN MONUSCO peacekeeping mission said in the document it had “no past reporting of known armed groups possessing the training, capital or resources to operate and maintain a mobile SAM system”. Use of the suspected WZ551 mobile SAM system, the report notes, “indicates an escalation of conventional force conflict in eastern DRC”.

M23 and “the Rwanda army”, according to the quoted document, have used “numerous weapons against aircraft and also have in their armoury anti-aircraft guns and MANPAD mobile air defence systems”.

Reporting on the “sophisticated guided mortar rounds,” Janes has it a DRC UN group of experts photographed “a previously undocumented 120 mm guide mortar round” found in Murambi last June.

“While the group of experts did not identify the mortar round, saying it was working to trace its origin, the report included a marketing image for the 120 mm Stylet round made by Israel’s Elbit Systems to illustrate what the munition would have looked like when undamaged.

“Elbit says the Stylet is a global positioning system (GPS) guided munition thatcan be launched from an unmodified mortar and hit targets with an accuracy of 10 circular error probable (CEP) out to a range of 9 km.

“The group of experts’ report included two other photographs showing the tail from a similar mortar round recovered after an attack on a FARDC camp in Kanyamahoro on 24 October 2023,” as per the Janes report.

The increasingly sophisticated array of weapons being used by rebel forces in the DRC pose a major threat to MONUSCO peacekeepers, who are to withdraw by year-end, and the new SADC Mission in the DRC (SAMIDRC), which will have about 5 000 troops from South Africa, Tanzania, and Malawi. South Africa has committed 2 900 troops to SAMIDRC, who will be deployed until 15 December 2024 at a cost of R2 billion. MONUSCO, by contrast, had some 15 000 troops at its disposal.

The report of the use of SAMs in the DRC came weeks after a SAAF Oryx on a MONUSCO medical evacuation mission was hit 43 times by small arms fire, on 2 February, injuring the aircraft commander and a medic in the cabin.
