The leaders of the Nande/Yira community denounce the level of extermination of the Nande community and the balkanization of the country

 

"An attitude of extreme irresponsibility which is akin to a strategy of support for the plan of extermination of our Community and the balkanization of the country".

➡️ Calls on the population not to settle in displaced persons camps.

➡️ Let us not allow our people to be admitted to displaced persons camps for fear of being exterminated there.

Calls on the population to calm down and not to take justice into their own hands.

➡️ The ambiguous behavior of military and political leaders in the management of operations

is quite intriguing. Stay mobilized but reserved. Avoid inappropriate agitation,

violence, irrational destruction, mob justice, physical attacks.

➡️ Nande/YIRA community leaders remind the President of the Republic, Felix-Antoine Tshisekdi Tshilombo for whom our Community voted more than 90% that nothing excuses him in the face of the occupation of our lands and the extermination of our

Community while he has in his hands the power and might of the State. We recommend that he replace the Chief of Staff and his entourage as well as the commanders of frontline operations in the North Kivu Province with patriots.

A second trial in the middle of the war has been held since Thursday July 4 in Lubero-center (North Kivu), nearly 70 km from the front line.

   23 soldiers are being prosecuted for several offenses, including cowardice or flight from the enemy, dissipation of war munitions, looting, murder and attempted murder. The verdict is expected this Friday. This trial is being held in the court of the rural commune of Lubero, capital of the territory bearing the same name. The hearing is held under a shed covered in sheet. This Friday, 23 soldiers are at the helm. With a dejected air, they await their fate whose investigation began on Thursday. The military prosecutor accuses them of having been cowardly in the face of the M23 rebels who are advancing in the south of Lubero. In their escapes, others are accused of having looted the property of peaceful populations. But that's not all. Still others are accused, some of having dissipated munitions of war, others of having committed murder and attempted murder. The pleadings and the verdict are expected this Friday for this flagrant trial aimed at discouraging, in this time of war, fleeing, looting and undisciplined soldiers. It is for this reason that this exemplary trial is being held behind the front line, as close as possible to the inhabitants who experience the blunders and indiscipline of the soldiers who are supposed to protect them. This trial is being held the day after another held on Wednesday in Alimbongo, on the front line, at the end of which 27 soldiers were sentenced to sentences ranging from 10 years to the death penalty for the same offenses.

Will M23 capture Goma this time?

 

Starting from 30th May 2024,plans have been in high gear with the main intention of frustrating FARDC and subsequently forcing Kinshasha into negotiations.meetings were held and among key opinions was to coerce and lure political opinionists,social media figures whose writings were seen as impingements and against m23's success.With a period of one month M23 has managed to lure and convince some political opinionists,social media political idealists,academicians etc to get to their side.According to open source Intelligence,Human intelligence sources( which i do not wany to put here)it is vivid that M23 has reaped much in its undercover campaign and activities  in respect to coercing of new influencial members of cyber community in joining them,there is a clear picture that many adademicians,political opinionists,social media influencers from North Kivu are likely to join them.If you are a good analyst,there is much evidence on some accounts on Twitter,facebook,youtube ,whatsapp..etc.Many other war theorists are seeing M23'S march for Lubero as a diversion strategy so that M23 can organize a big surprise attack on Goma when there few numbers ready for its defence or when others are wearily on the defence of lubero.After the capture of kanyabayonga ,m23 is saidto have had meetings in Bunagana,kirumba and recently in kiwanja with the main aim of laying NEW STRINGENT STRATEGIES to capture Goma which they see as a sure deal of forcing Kinshasha into negociation.
