The public prosecutor requested the death penalty against 25 of the 26 defendants involved in the Corneille Nangaa and accomplices case, accused of war crimes, crimes against humanity in the East of the DRC.

In addition to this sentence, a fine equivalent to 1 billion US dollars was demanded by the civil party and the public prosecutor for the damage suffered by the Congolese.

Back to Luanda tomorrow! But DRC still maintains that it cannot have talks with M23 ,instead it can talk with Rwanda on condition that it withdraws it soldiers from DRC land.

Congolese Ministry of Foreign Affairs announces the relaunch of the Luanda Process this July 30 with a meeting of delegations from Kinshasa and those of Rwanda under the mediation of Angola. It must be remembered that the RDC remains firm in its position to dialogue with the Rwanda directly and not the M23_RDF , on the sole condition that Rwanda withdraws its soldiers on Congolese soil and that its "M23 auxiliaries" are confined .As of leaked reports that reached us yesterday,Tshisekedi is currently in Belgium where he even went to St Elizabeth Hospital of Ucle in Brussels for medical examinations and other healthy follow ups.Tshisekdi delegated his foreign affairs minister to attend tommorrow Luanda summit.


The Jean Bosco Bahala affair and the leaked mission leads to the dismissal of Major General Aimé Mbiato Konzoli Dircab of the Minister of Defense.





After four hours of hearing before the military intelligence of the Directorate of the Security and Protection Mission (DEMIAP), Major General Aimé Mbiato Konzoli, Director of Cabinet at the Ministry of Defense of the Democratic Republic of Congo, was ousted from office yesterday.


The decision comes after the leaking of a mission order signed by the major general in favor of Father Jean-Bosco Bahala, National Coordinator of the Disarmament, Demobilization, Community Recovery and Stabilization Program (PDDRC-S).


This mission order, the authenticity of which remains to be verified, places Father Bahala at the center of an alleged negotiation with militiamen of the M23, an armed group supported by Rwanda and Uganda as claimed by angry media in DRC and claimed by the UN group of experts report. Currently, Bahala is in Uganda, as many media outlets in kinshasha say.


The dismissal of Father Jean-Bosco Bahala was confirmed by a presidential order, as announced by the spokesperson for the Head of State, Tina Salama. The move highlights growing tensions in the region and raises questions about diplomatic and security relations between the countries involved.


The situation remains developing, and Congolese authorities are apparently continuing  to closely monitor the implications of this case for peace and stabilization efforts in eastern DRC.
