Major General Chiko was never in Buteembo as claimed by some media outlets

As indicated in videos below! Chiko is on Frontline now.

FARDC formally denies accusations that it describes as “false” and “misleading” against General Maj Chicko Tshitambwe Jérôme, Commander of operations on the Northern front. The spokesperson for the FARDC on the Northern Front, Lieutenant Mbuyi Reagan, says that certain “false” and “misleading” articles published in the online media concerning rumors spread about any presence of his Commander in Butembo are unfounded. The army strongly condemns this “erroneous” information concerning the presence of its Commander in Butembo. The army affirms that these are facts fabricated by the enemies of peace concerning the operations carried out in this eastern part of the country. “Currently, the Commander of the Northern Front is fighting at the front with his troops to strengthen his positions in Kirumba and consolidate those of Kaseyi and Alimbongo,” said Lieutenant Mbuyi

Felix Tshisekedi held a defence meeting to discuss the fall of kanyabayonga

The deterioration of the security situation in the province of North Kivu marked by the fall of the strategic city of Kanyabayonga in the hands of the M23 rebels supported by Kigali was at the center of the meeting of the Higher Defense Council chaired this Saturday, June 29 in the City of the African Union by Félix Tshisekedi. This situation allows the rebellion to strengthen its influence in the province of North Kivu. According to the report of the meeting made by government spokesperson Patrick Muyaya and, without however citing them, measures were proposed to the Head of State by the military authorities to retake as quickly as possible the different areas occupied by the M23 rebels. "The President of the Republic convened this meeting of the expanded Higher Defense Council to take stock of the situation in general. Obviously we spoke about the operational situation of the country in general in all three defense zones but there are "There was a particular emphasis on the events in Kanyabayonga," the government spokesperson said. And to continue: "After nearly 3 hours of discussions and an overview with the various military authorities, perspectives, measures were proposed to the President of the Republic so that the armed forces of the DRC can very quickly recover order in this part of the country and retake certain other localities which were occupied by the Rwandan forces because that is what it is about. At the same time, tribute was paid to the FARDC who sacrifice themselves for the defense of the integrity of the national territory. Also, a call for unity was launched to better confront this aggression. "It is therefore important that in this context that the Congolese be wary of everything they read on social networks so as not to give in to the enemy's game, you know that it is also on this ground that the game is being played to demobilize the Congolese but also to affect the morale of our valiant soldiers who are engaged on the front so here we reiterate the call of the President of the Republic to continue to trust the FARDC for which the government of the Republic as well as himself will make everything available so that order can be restored and very quickly", indicated the government spokesperson. On the ground, this situation has once again caused the displacement of civilian populations. After Kanyabayonga on Friday, two other large towns in southern Lubero (North Kivu) came under the control of the M23 rebels this Saturday, June 29. These are Kayna and Kirumba. The latter is the main commercial center of South Lubero. According to sources in the area, rebels from the Luofu axis and others from Kanyabayonga joined Saturday morning in Kayna before continuing their path to Kirumba, the "entity they took without a fight" at 3 p.m. local time. On site, a source said that the rebels have seized the important military camp of Kasando where they are said to have taken significant ammunition abandoned by the army.

Major Chiko Tshitambwe organise his forces to block M23 advances after the fall of Kanyabayonga

 

This Saturday morning, the rebels took control of the cities of Luofu and Kayna in the territory of Lubero. Major General Chiko Tshitambwe, Commander of the Northern Front, reorganizes and mobilizes the troop leaders to block the rebels who have the ambition to overflow to Alimbongo and thus cut off the road to the FARDC still present in Kirumba. Contrary to the rumors spread by the digital army of M23_RDF and by certain populations manipulated by the enemy, as well as by some political and civil actors from the Far North of the North Kivu province and the country, Major General Chiko Tshitambwe is neither in Butembo nor in Beni(There is video circulating on social media that Genral narrowly escaped linching by the civilians who wanted to throw him outta a hotel in Butembo). He is actually on the front line. It should be noted that according to several testimonies, it is thanks to the rigor of General Major General Chiko Tshitambwe that the city of Kanyabayonga held for more than 30 days before falling yesterday into the hands of the M23 rebels who received sufficient reinforcement in men and ammunition to relaunch the assaults on Fardc.

The real intelligence report on the Fall of Kanyabayonga

 On the evening of Sunday, June 23rd, 2024, Major General Chico Tshitambwe learned through his informants that Brigadier General Boudouin Ngaruye was departing from Kitchanga for the Kanyabayonga axis with a reinforcement of four battalions (one Brigade) of RDF forces, a combination of regular and special forces.The M23 has lost numerous men on the kanyabayonga operation but to them it seems ,the loss of men is not a worry.We will soon establish the reasons why M23 remains resilient despite numerous losses in terms of men.

By 20/06/2024,the FARDC had already known that the Enemy forces (M23)had been ordered to start attacking with in coming forty night(2*Weeks).

The FARDC categorically had known that  the first attacks were to begin in the next 7Days and as I talk now this might be the first series of these attacks.

 FARDC had even received reports that the planned attacks would  be stronger than the previous ones, and would  mainly target FDLR and Wazalendos who are in the zones near FDLR control.

The FARDC units deployed in Sake,had been informed to prepare enough and get ready.The M23 High Command, had ordered  launching of multiple attacks on Sake and consolidate it, so as frustrate and suffocate Goma.

 On Kibumba axis, there were reports  of M23 having established a Basic Trainning Camp(BTC) for new numerous recruits, those recruits were a big of reinforcements  in terms of Human who had been enmassed d from various locations around East Africa and were under going vigorous and hard Trainning.

Another report indicated a  BTC set in Rumangabo mil camp where  Recruits were going through vigorous Trainning in Rumangabo with the main aim of taking Kanyabayonga.The M23 for almost  weeks had been studying the FARDC patterns and had enmassed numerous reinforcements both in human,ammunitions and other logistics.The failure for the gorvenment of DRC to send reinforcements is a factor but reluctancy and failure to value and timely use intelligence information played a key role in the fall of Kanyabayonga.

M23 had for the whole three weeks have been analysing tips of all information and planning accordingly and that's why the reports of delayed FARDC reinforcements and other reports got them guts to match on for an attack on the already exhausted and lacking FARDC and wazalendo.There is no sensible military personnel who rubbishes any intelligence information,even if it may be false it should not make the army reluctant but keeps it alert.M23 does not rubbish any information ,instead does its analysis and establishes why.Wrong information or exaggerated can be a very good building block to establishing the reality.

These are reports from Commanders:

THE LOSS OF THE VILLAGE OF MIRIKI and KAMIKA BEFORE KANYABAYONGA: It all started on Thursday, with the loss of the village of Miriki. The FARDC had received information about an imminent attack by the ADF in Lubero which was to cause more than 150 deaths. The only FARDC units available in this region were in forward positions.  The unit on site has been divided into two groups. While the second group withdrew to protect the population, M23 attacked the village. We then understood that there were no ADFs, which suggests that they work together (ADF = RDF). .According to my sources, the RDF had strengthened their positions by adding more than 4,000 M23 soldiers. During this time, General Chico requested reinforcements from the general staff, the reinforcement had not yet arrived and a position in Kanyabayonga held by our Wazalendo brothers was attacked. During the fighting, one General Wazalendo (some say he has links to Geadeon and Jules Mulumba) was killed by an RDF sniper. The panic caused by the death of their leader led the Wazalendos to abandon their positions. The M23 took advantage of this opening to advance quickly. The FARDC found themselves trapped. The majority of our special forces, made up of our children and brothers, were in a weak position. They either had to fight and this could cause a lot of losses on our side, or withdraw, the weather did not allow us to have airforce support.The FARDC airforce would have come in for support but the weather was not good for the aerial equipments.General Chico, who no longer had any choices, ordered General Kabund to withdraw to preserve the lives of our soldiers, and this was done quickly. This is how the commune fell.The FARDC are now 20 km from the city. Before long, the FARDC will reorganize for a counter-offensive.

There are also rumors going on this morning 29/06/2024 that M23 and ADF-NALU would have entered pact as M23 eyes to establish itself in the territory of Lubero,however , accordingly,the intelligences sources and our close confidants ,these are taken as unreliable claims by some local inhabitants.
