MONUSCO relocates som of its staff as security in GOMA worsens

 

Faced with the deterioration of the security situation in North Kivu and particularly around the city of Goma, MONUSCO announced this Saturday the temporary relocation of its non-essential personnel from Goma. This decision aims to ensure the safety of employees while maintaining essential humanitarian operations in the city.

According to MONUSCO, while this measure could suggest a withdrawal, it is in reality a strategic adaptation. The personnel essential to the continuity of operations, particularly in the areas of humanitarian aid and the protection of civilians, will remain on the ground. The United Nations is thus reaffirming its unwavering commitment to the populations of North Kivu, who are particularly vulnerable in the face of the crisis.

The deterioration of the security situation in North Kivu, marked by an upsurge in violence and population displacement following the M23-RDF war, has forced the UN to take this difficult decision. The temporary relocation of non-essential staff helps minimize the risks incurred by employees while ensuring the continuation of vital activities on the ground, MONUSCO sources learned. 

"This measure will not impact the provision of humanitarian assistance to the most vulnerable populations. The UN will continue to ensure the distribution of food, medicines, and provide support in terms of shelter and protection. Humanitarian teams present on the ground will work closely with national authorities and humanitarian partners to respond to urgent needs," a MONUSCO source said.

Despite this difficult context, the UN reiterates its commitment to supporting peace, stability and development in the Democratic Republic of Congo. This organization reassures that it will continue to work alongside the Congolese authorities and civil society to find lasting solutions to this complex humanitarian crisis

M23 gives a 48 hour altimatum to FARDC soldiers in GOMA to lay down their weapons

 

Ultimatum issued to the Congolese armed forces and allies, to lay down their arms in 48 hours, failing which, Goma will be on fire...

The Rwandan rebels of the M23 have surrounded Goma and are starting to do housework, in light of their multiple military successes in the theater of operations at the front in the East of the DRC where they have conquered a large part of North Kivu.

Under the impetus of Rwanda, the architect of this Congolese drama, the M23, reinvigorated by its military assets, has publicly given 48 hours to the Congolese army stationed in Goma to lay down its arms.

The rebels say ,"The city of Goma must never be used as a battlefield, and our organization will not tolerate any armed group engaged in a conflict against the civilian population" 

"The rebels in question, today, to improve their image as killers, are using PR to improve their disastrous image in light of their heinous crimes as well as on the local populations",said one civilian from Goma

Rumours on death of Major General Peter Chirimwami,was he killed by M23?

 

Is that the truth behind his death or a disinformation from the enemy camp to cause more confusion!

1) He receives the order of Kinshasa not to attack and observe the ceasefire.

2) Under the high pressure of the units on the front (mainly some commanders and colonels of units) he decides to go to the front in Sake to tell the truth to the fighters on the ground, comfort them and relaunch morale.

3) Arriving at the front, he rather meets a climate of stampede and anger between the units (mainly the wazalendo and the republican guard who have just lost many of their mmbers in the fighting and the pain is lively), the wazalendo and GR threatens General Peter Chirimwami directly as Being the basis of the death of their companions,blame him for being inactive they say because he refused to send the air reinforcements and fighting tanks.

4) He therefore realizes that he made a big mistake to go to the front at this very specific moment, he thought it was controllable it is also the reason why he presented himself appearing worried and without being heavily armed or military protective equipment.

5) Under this climate and strong pressure and threats, he decides to make a video where he tells the truth and the  video is available,he said: the army is an instrument of the political, I received the order not to attack and I respect the orders, I only obey, unlike many who think that you were massacred on front  without me  intervening, I only follow the orders.

6) Altercations then arise between his guards, the Wazalendo and the GR in his tent. Unprotected or equipped, he will receive yaws and die on the fields with several other soldiers from his guard.

7) The order is given not to take his body back to Goma to maintain the tension but to send it back directly to the airport for Kinshasa, which is done and rumors begin to circulate.

8) The UDPS and many others claim the death of the one they call "traitor" and you already know why!!!
