The militiamen of the rebel coalition known as "Republic of Kivu" are accused of insecurity and ransom the population of Irambi-Katana

 The militiamen of the rebel coalition known as "Republic of Kivu" are accused of insecurity and ransom the population of Irambi-Katana, a group located around the Kahuzi Biega National Park, in the territory of Kabare (South Kivu).

 

Thaddée Miderho, administrator of the Kabare territory explains that they are two armed groups, one led by the warlord Nshokano and the other by a certain Soleil, close to the self-proclaimed general Chance Mihonya (who is currently in prison).

"These two armed groups operate in the sub-village of Cirehe and in the village of Mabingu in the Irambi-Katana groupement. Hutus have been reported among their elements, some are said to have spears and others to have weapons. for the moment is that the degree of nuisance is expressed. To go to the fields, these rebels force the peasants a sum of 500 Congolese francs and they beat those who do not have this sum ", he explained to on Saturday September 19, 2020.

The administrator of the territory of Kabare informs that he has already informed the officials of the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (FARDC) and believes that an operation will soon be carried out to track down these rebels.

Meanwhile, Hubert Mulongoy, communication officer for Kahuzi Biega National Park (PNKB) reports that these rebels are also engaged in the exploitation of minerals in the Naweza river.

It should be remembered that the formation of this new rebellion comes 3 days after the signing of a commitment by nearly 70 armed groups to cease hostilities in the province of South Kivu.

ADF / MTM, the Congolese government reported on Friday September 18th during the 49th Council of Ministers.

In the point of the security situation, the Minister of National Defense stressed that the security situation was generally calm throughout the territory apart from some pockets of insecurity, mainly in the East of the country.

According to the minister, loyalist forces are continuing with success the operations carried out in this part against the foreign and national armed groups which disturb the peace of the population.

In North Kivu, apart from operations against the ADF, we nevertheless noted a surrender of 14 Mai-Mai militiamen from the NDC / R armed group of Bwira Gilbert.

In Beni, the Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces on Friday closed a mission to inspect and assess ongoing operations against ADF terrorists. The region of Mayangose ​​and the Mbau-kamango highway are under FARDC control after armed clashes reported for more than a month.

However, ADF activism has declined in this part. These rebels took over a locality in Ituri last week, killing more or less 58 people in Tshabi.

48th council of ministers in Kinshasha reported the incursions of South Sudanese army in Djugu,they also made reports on ADF

 According to the minutes of the 48th weekly meeting of the Council of Ministers held on Friday, September 18, 2020 by videoconference, incursions by elements of the South Sudan Army into the chiefdoms of Kaliko-Omi and Kakwa were reported, in the territory of Djugu.

According to the same source, the FARDC continue to record the surrenders of combatants from the armed group NDC / R.

The Minister of Defense has, moreover, the activism of some members of CODECO in the territory of Djugu. Part of the reason, he says, is the lack of full "Render" support.

"It is the same in Irumu territory, where FRPI militiamen in the process of disarmament and demobilization are leaving their pre-cantonment sites and may represent a danger", we read in the report of the Council of Ministers signed by government spokesperson David-Jolino Makelele.

In addition, the Minister of Defense reassured that instructions had been given so that the situation of candidates for demobilization and disarmament be dealt with urgently.
