The balkanisation of DRC may be ripe now!As of our various leaks last month,we may soon have a country named the Republic of KIVU.

" Republic of Kivu " these are visible inscriptions on a " flag " visible on several outskirts oftof  city of Bukavu onon Wednesd, July 1st, 2020.
Hanging on tree sticks in several places in the city, this flag with yellow, black and blue colors and a star in the middle keeps mobilizing the curious population.
In the morning of Wednesday some inhabitants of the commune of Kadutu have moved to Buholo 3 to observe a flag installed at a little roundabout.
Also in the municipality of Ibanda, these flags were visible in the morning towards the roundabout ISP of Bukavu and on the road section of Place Mulamba-College said called "witness mile" in the old days.
It's hard to identify those who wanted to express themselves by these flags "Republic of Kivu" spread across the city but the idea is no longer new in South Kivu.
Indeed, opinion leaders, scientists and other inhabitants have in the informal, started the discussion about the need for Kivu to detach from the rest of Congo and its capital Kinshasa in particular. They justify this by the concern of the wealth of Kivu to benefit the inhabitants of the region.
On the other hand, many others do not hesitate to say that Kivu is insecure because Kinshasa does not know how to find solutions for a region considered just as a "dairy cow" and not part of the country.
Many political actors in Bukavu comment each in their sense and support do not want to speak publicly at the moment. They count themselves in all political parties.
Another opinion that still disagree with this approach of having Kivu as a country warn against an idea that could destabilize Congo and also serve a likely future country by setting the example of the current South Sudan.
Journalist Prince murhula wonders
Journalist and trainer, Prince murhula notes that this is for the first time that this feeling has invaded communities in South Kivu.
This journalist, one of the most respected in the city, reminds that even at the time of the RCD, it was Bukavu who resisted this temptations.
" I remind you that it is for the first time in the history of the DRC that this feeling is increasingly invading communities. Many of the becomingly by combining him with the "frustrations of the UNC members" following the condemnation of Kamerhe. But never, to my knowledge, I've never seen such a thing come from Kivu. As a reminder, During the 1998-2003 s, while the RCD Rebellion occupied the eastern part, resistance was strong in the community. In Kivu, everyone swore for the reunion of the country.
Civil society organizations, trade unions, student s' college have put in place a "peaceful" internal resistance but which destabilize the armed movement that did not hesitate to shoot protesters. Among the strategies used by the movement, the use of the Kinshasa national flag which was raised to public places.
In fact, during the Rebellion, Kinshasa had its flag (blue colors, six stars and a big yellow star in the middle) while the RCD used the current DRC flag. So this was an affront to the rebels. But it was a clear message that had passed to him: We want unity. Today seeing the "flag of the Republic of Kivu" float, I wonder he writes.

In any case, for now, the comments go in every way on social media as in political fairs but one thing is clear: never this question has also been discussed easily as at present in the city known as answers of Bukavu.

Can UCC,MTN,Airtel,Africell,UTL tell us who are the culprits behind these phone numbers? Are our emails ,mobile money accounts,mobile banking and social media accounts safe???

Are Telecom companies and other bodies involved ready to tell us who are the owners of these phones numbers that try to intercept our messages(2FA)? Are our social media accounts ,emails , mobile money accounts,mobile banking accounts etc safe??? I started by showing local phone numbers that used to intercept these messages and now since the government has done much to iron out this threat,the intercepting numbers change to international phone numbers.As you can see these phone numbers are related and we're or are purposely owned by a similar group with similar intentions.

China's new-generation fighter jet is scheduled to make its maiden flight in 2021, an aviation industry report revealed on Monday. Analysts speculate that it will be China's new aircraft carrier-based fighter jet

A team at China Aero-Polytechnology Establishment under the state-owned Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC) has resumed work while fighting the COVID-19 epidemic with the aim of supporting the scheduled maiden flight of a new-generation fighter jet in 2021, according to a statement the Chinese Aeronautical Establishment released on its WeChat public account on Monday.

The statement was removed by its publisher as of Tuesday evening.

This team is responsible for the new fighter jet's basic technology project, and other institutes, including AVIC Shenyang Aircraft Design and Research Institute and the Chengdu-based No.29 Research Institute under the state-owned China Electronics Technology Group Corporation (CETC), are also involved in its development, according to the statement.

The statement did not elaborate on the details of the new fighter jet, but the Shenyang institute is known for the development of the J-15, China's first type of aircraft carrier-based fighter jet , and the FC-31, China's second type of stealth aircraft rumored to be under deep modification to become a new aircraft carrier-based fighter jet.

Based on available information, it is possible that the new fighter jet introduced in the Chinese Aeronautical Establishment statement is indeed a new aircraft carrier-based fighter jet developed from the FC-31, Fu Qianshao, a Chinese air defense expert, told the Global Times on Tuesday.

Fu said that while the Chinese Air Force may eventually require a medium-sized stealth fighter jet to accompany the heavy J-20 stealth fighter jet, the Chinese Navy is in more urgent need of a stealth fighter jet on China's future aircraft carriers, as the US has already developed F-35B and F-35C stealth fighter jets for amphibious assault ships and aircraft carriers.

If this is the case, it will likely take another five years or so of testing following the maiden flight in 2021 to put the new fighter jet into active service, Fu said, noting that this time period could be shortened because the FC-31 has been tested as a technical demonstrator for many years.

According to a statement released by the Shenyang institute in December 2019, it has started developing a new type of fighter jet jointly with AVIC Manufacturing Technology Institute since 2018. This older report did not elaborate on the specifics of the new aircraft.

China is reportedly building its third and more advanced aircraft carrier at Shanghai's Jiangnan Shipyard, which is expected to be launched and commissioned in the 2020s. A more advanced fighter jet could greatly enhance the carrier's combat capability, analysts said.

There has also been speculation online by military enthusiasts claiming the new fighter jet could be a drone fighter jet or a space fighter jet.

The head of office of Monusco in Ituri, Cecilia Piazza condemns insecurity and killings by militiamen in ITURI and calls UN to establish another office in the province

The head of office of Monusco in Ituri, Cecilia Piazza made, during an exchange with the press on Monday June 29, 2020 in Bunia, a global return on the work of the UN mission in this province, during the two years of his mandate.
Although "not perfect", she judges the results of her institution to be "satisfactory".
Context of his arrival in Ituri.
It was the day after the outbreak of the atrocities in Djugu that Ms. Cecilia set foot in Ituri. A province plagued by insecurity. For two years, she managed in a "tense" context. CODECO militia activism, "an ongoing battle".
“Two intense years, just with the start of violence in Djugu. Djugu was at the heart of our work and continues to be, "she said.
According to her, the contribution of the UN mission has been of great importance in managing the security situation in Djugu and Mahagi.
In Djugu, several temporary bases have been set up, on the one hand, to ensure daily patrols, and on the other, to protect civilians, in particular displaced people housed in different sites (Blukwa, Bule, Fataki, etc.). An effective means of prevention against rebel attacks.
In the Mahagi territory, the temporary base at Ame, on the border with neighboring Djugu, was of great importance. In this part, very often, the attackers come from Djugu, pass there to commit their crime.
"This presence helped mitigate the infiltration. We have succeeded in stabilizing this limit between the two territories ", while also welcoming the" patrols along the national road N ° 27 ".
Regarding Mahagi, she thinks that beyond the infiltration of CODECO, there are "
earth-related tensions ”. What must find a solution, in the concern of lasting stability.
Peace, another process in Ituri.
In each territory, it leaves behind it, "many projects in progress". Peace, security, impunity, the protection of civilians, justice, youth, the DDR process, (...) the main part of the intervention of Monusco.
Addressing specifically the Djugu stabilization project, which will be executed by STAREC, she insisted on "political commitment and communities" for its "success".
Also, she said, the fight against impunity remains a major priority.
"It is a duty to the victims, to their relatives." Hence, we must "support military justice".
Despite the efforts made, her regret during her reign was that "violence is still there", she said. "I call on all the perpetrators to stop," insists Ms. Cecilia.
When falling, she did not fail to salute the welcome and collaboration of all social strata of Ituri, vis-à-vis Monusco, since her arrival. From the people, to civil society, to the provincial government.
From Bunia, in Ituri, Ms Piazza will go to Beni, in North Kivu, where she will have to assume a new responsibility, within the UN mission.
A new head of the office is therefore expected in the coming days, at the capital of Ituri, at the head of Monusco. In a province, so far, where insecurity is still persistent.

MONUSCO paid tribute to Sergeant Major Wahyudi Rama from the Indonesian contingent, killed on June 22, in an attack by armed men not far from the Semuliki bridge, on the road to Beni-Kasindi, the territory of Beni, North Kivu province. The tribute ceremony was organized on Saturday, June 27, at Beni airport, in the presence of both civilian and military officials of the UN Mission in DRC.
MONUSCO Force Commander, Lieutenant-General Augusto Ferreira Costa Neves; the Commander of the MONUSCO Integrated Force Brigade, Major-General Patrick Dube, and the Acting Mayor of the City of Beni, Modeste Bakwanamaha, took part in the tribute ceremony.

President Museveni ranked among the best presidents of the world

President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has been ranked among the best President’s in the World, according to a New York University and World Bank experts who ranked the President 7th in terms of influencing economic growth.
The report first released in May 2018 by the World Bank economist Steve Penning’s and New York University Economics Professor William Easterly indicates that Museveni is one of the best leaders with a significant positive impact on their countries economic growth.
The two experts define the best leaders as any leaders for whom estimated leader effect is positive and significant at the 95% level and the worst leader are those with negative and insignificant leader effects.
The findings that were entitled “Shrinking dictators: how much economic growth can we attribute to national leaders” ranked Senior General Than Shwe of Burma as number one for being the most influential leader who steered his country’s economic growth at 3.95% and shrinkage of just 0.71%. He was the head of the State of Burma between 1992 and 2011 as chairman of the State Peace and development Council (SPDC).
“Leadership requires bold initiatives and President Museveni must be credited for this. It requires stringent and well thought out policies to reverse the decline our country was in and revamp the economy. Its not surprising the Museveni has firmly put this country on a steady economic growth,” Stephen Miyingo, the Senior Presidential Advisor on Economic Affairs said of the report. He said the report provides a third party independent opinion which confirms what the NRM government has been telling Ugandans.
Easterly and Hennings ranked 24 world leaders and President Museveni came in the 7th position, scoring higher than many powerful leaders globally including the former Prime Minister of Singapore Lee Kuan Yew and Park Chung-hee former President of South Korea between 1963 and 1979. Museveni’s significant contribution to Uganda’s economic growth is said to be a record 2.42% with a shrinkage of only 0.78% since he came to power in 1986.
The report also established that leaders like Yoweri Museveni and Seretse Khama of Botswana rank higher than Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore partly because they did will in relation to the lower average regional growth in Sub Saharan Africa compared to East and South Asia.
While making is assessment on Museveni contribution, the report highlighted the infrastructure development at its peak now with 5,350km total of paved roads compared to 987km of 1986. The General quality of lives and standard of living has improved tremendously together with an increase in incomes despite the increase in the population growth.
Other sectors highlighted include the employment sector with a national employment rate reducing from 11% to 8%, access to electricity grid has increased to 22% in 2017 from 14% in 2013 and access to water has also risen from 68% to78% during the same period. Revenue collections per annum has also increased, for instance in 2005/06 the total revenue collected was Shs 2.23 trillion compared to the estimated Shs 20trillion to be collected next financial year.
The report also highlighted the robust peace and security under Museveni that has been credited for the prevailing economic growth, restoration of freedom of speech, press freedom, freedom of worship relative democracy, effective foreign policy, education and tourism.

Lucifer malware also mines Monero cryptocurrency on infected devices ,also has ability todrop/run leaked NSA(National security agency,USA's national intelligence level) exploits including DoublePulsar, EternalBlue, and EternalRomance against vulnerable devices to enable intranet infection.

Palo Alto Networks’ Units 42 researchers have discovered a new version of a “hybrid crypto-jacking malware,” which they have dubbed “Lucifer.”
Lucifer malware is capable of launching DDoS attacks and can attack vulnerable Windows hosts using a variety of “trivial-to-exploit nature” flaws most of which are either rated ‘high’ or ‘critical.’
The first wave of this campaign was blocked by Palo Alto Networks on 10 June 2020, but the attacker resumed the campaign the very next day with an upgraded version of Lucifer malware. The campaign is still active and wreaking havoc by targeting Windows computers to mine for cryptocurrency and launching intense DDoS attacks.
Palo Alto Networks’ researchers observed that the new variant of Lucifer is immensely powerful as it performs crypto-jacking by dropping XMRig to mine for Monero cryptocurrency , connect to C&C server and enable self-propagation via exploiting multiple vulnerabilities along with launching credential brute-forcing.
Furthermore, it can drop/run leaked NSA exploits including DoublePulsar, EternalBlue, and EternalRomance against vulnerable devices to enable intranet infection.
“Once exploited, the attacker can execute arbitrary commands on the vulnerable device. In this case, the targets are Windows hosts on both the internet and intranet, given that the attacker is leveraging certutil utility in the payload for malware propagation” said on the researchers in a blog post . "

NSA exploits in action:

The malware developer named it Satan DDoS but since Satan Ransomware exists already, Palo Alto researchers chose to name it as Lucifer.
The good thing is that patches for weaponized security vulnerabilities are already available but hosts that haven’t been updated yet are still vulnerable to crypto-jacking. Researchers urge users to immediately apply the latest patches and updates to secure their devices.
