Congolese travelling from Goma to Kampala via chanika are complaining of unclear payments of 20,000Ug Shs.

 

Congolese travelers departing from the city of Goma in the DRC, towards Kampala in Uganda, expressed their concern, Thursday August 29, over the obligation to pay the sum of twenty thousand shillings, or 7 USD, to the immigration service at the Chanika post.

According to one Congolese by names of Christian Bila,he noted that,

These Congolese say they do not understand the nature of these fees so the DRC and Uganda had agreed since the beginning of this year to eliminate fees for granting visas in order to promote the free movement of people. 

Bila continued and said that;

“I traveled to Uganda and passed through Chanika but when I arrived there I noticed that each Congolese paid 20,000 shillings, the nature of which we do not know. Is it for the visa or is it collected for something else? I would still like us to be able to enlighten public opinion on this and that would be a good thing,” said Christian Bila.

The free trade zone has been operational since January 1 between Uganda and the DRC.

Kagame dismisses top miltary officers after a high command meeting.

  This announcement begins by saying, "The President of the Republic of Rwanda and the Supreme Leader dismissed from the RDF Maj Gen Martin Nzaramba, Col Dr Etienne Uwimana and 19 other soldiers at the level of senior and junior officers."

The RDF leadership also said that the President of the Republic approved the dismissal and cancellation of contracts of 195 other soldiers with other positions.

This incident is got outside after hours when  President Paul Kagame and the Supreme Leader of the RDF held a meeting with the Generals and other senior soldiers in the Rwandan Army, which took place on Thursday, August 29, 2024. He returned to the peace and security of Rwanda. This announcement begins by saying: "The President of the Republic of Rwanda and the Supreme Leader dismissed from the RDF Maj Gen Martin Nzaramba, Col Dr Etienne Uwimana and 19 other soldiers of at the level of senior and junior officers.”

This miracle is going outside after hours, President Paul Kagame and the Supreme Leader of the RDF held a meeting with the Generals and other senior soldiers in the Rwandan Army, which took place on Thursday, August 29, 2024. He returned to the peace and security of Rwanda. 

Many Intelligence strategists points at misunderstandings inside the top brass of RDF over the war in DRC.Many office did not buy Kagame's side have been sidelined.However ,in military,laying off an office is normal at times depending on a variet of circumstances.

Major General Martin Nzaramba, who retired a year earlier on August 30, 2023, had previously served as the Director of the Nasho Military Academy. Notably, Nzaramba was once married to Captain Doreen Kayitesi Nzaramba, the sister of Major Dr. Théogène Rudasingwa and Gerard Gahima, both prominent critics of President Kagame’s administration residing abroad. Colonel Dr. Etienne Uwimana, a medical doctor with long service at the Kanombe Military Hospital, was responsible for radiology services and had a significant role within the military health sector.

The RDF’s statement, devoid of specific reasons for the dismissals, has sparked speculation. Observers and analysts have drawn connections between the dismissals and Kagame’s closed-door meeting with military leaders.sources within the RDF suggest that Major General Nzaramba had refused deployment to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), while Colonel Dr. Uwimana allegedly issued a false medical certificate to support Nzaramba’s refusal.

This development is occurring in a context of escalating tensions between Rwanda and the DRC. On August 16, 2024, RDF spokesperson Brigadier General Ronald Rwivanga announced the recruitment of reservists, the first of its kind, set to begin on August 19, 2024. While Rwivanga denied any link between the recruitment and potential conflict, analysts have interpreted this move as a preparation for possible war, particularly in light of strained relations with the DRC.

Rwanda’s military presence in the DRC, allegedly supporting the M23 rebel group, has further exacerbated tensions. The situation escalated on August 29, 2024, with a brief exchange of gunfire between Rwandan and Congolese forces at the Rubavu-Goma border. This incident underscores the precarious nature of the relationship between the two nations.

The dismissal of these high-ranking officers could be seen as an attempt by President Kagame to consolidate control over the military amidst these regional challenges. However, the opacity surrounding the reasons for these dismissals raises concerns about the internal dynamics within the RDF and Kagame’s approach to governance.
