Colonel Rugabisha Alex killed on Frontline!

Col Alexis Rugabisha fell on the frontlines, leading an axis he had commanded for over a year.

He was a Munyamulenge military officer in FARDC who fought against RDF - RCD, RDF - CNDP, RDF - M23 Part One, and now died while fighting current RDF - M23. Rugabisha was a close ally of Pacific Masunzu.

Alot of Kinshasha critiques claim that Rugabisha was killed by his fellow FARDC men ,who claim that lotsa FARDC members saw him as a traitor.However ,Manny military analysts say,that such information is another form of weapon to weaken the cohesion within the national army.

 After FARDC's loss in Kalehe, Alot of media in Kinshasha accussed him of  ending  the lives of 20 FARDC soldiers by handing them over to his aggressor brothers M23RDF on the NGUNGU-MINOVA section on  January 20, 2025, specifically Onhe NGUNGU, MINOVA, KABALEGASHA, LUMBISHI, NUMBI and SHANJE axis in South Kivu, Kalehe territory.

At the time of his death on the 1st February 2025, He was commanding FARDC's 12th Brigade, which was engaged in battle against the RDF offensive in South Kivu. He was ambushed by RDF in South Kivu, in areas beyond Nyabibwe, along with other soldiers, including his escorts.

Colonel Mazebo dies on Frontline fighting theM23

Colonel Papy Mozebo,who ha been deployed on kanyamahoro-kibumba axis Lost His Life on the Front Line Against the AFC/M23

Colonel Papy Mozebo, tragically lost his life on the front line against the AFC/M23 rebels. His death comes after his deployment on kanyamahoro-kibumba axis  to defend the Democratic Republic of Congo in the face of escalating violence in the east of the country.

Colonel Mozebo was much more than just a soldier. In addition to his role as a defender of the homeland, he was also a preacher of the Gospel and a devoted family man.

He was considered a true hero by the population of Goma and Butembo, cities where he dedicated his life to protecting civilians against rebel threats. His courage and dedication to the defense of his country will remain etched in our memories.

Why did Kagame and Tshisekedi relationship die fast?

 

Between January 2019 and July/August 2021, it was the honeymoon between the two leaders. A privileged relationship, marked by unprecedented political and economic rapprochements. Then, suddenly, this cordial understanding gave way to declared hostility. However, the causes of the current crisis largely originate in this brutal rupture. This conflict is also the consequence of a profound disagreement between two heads of state.

What had they promised each other during the 2-year honeymoon? What clauses of their agreements were not respected to get to this point? These are the real questions to explore.

When he came to power in January 2019, Félix Tshisekedi and Kagame were:

(1) March 2019, RwandAir, a Rwandan airline, finally obtained authorization to operate flights between Kigali and Kinshasa/Lubumbashi, something that Joseph Kabila never authorized during his entire reign.

(2) May 2019, Paul Kagame, who had not set foot in Kinshasa for more than ten years, was welcomed as a distinguished guest by Félix Tshisekedi at the funeral of Étienne Tshisekedi. "Yo nani, oboya Kagame?" ("Who are you to oppose Kagame?"), the people of the UDPS told us.

(3) November 2019, Claude Ibalanky, coordinator of the Addis Ababa Framework Agreement Monitoring Mechanism and close collaborator of Félix Tshisekedi, sent a letter requesting the lifting of arrest warrants against M23 members and their integration into the FARDC. He will then mention nearly 10,000 former M23 combatants based in Rwanda and Uganda who should return to the country.

(4) December 2019, Félix Tshisekedi and Paul Kagame, all smiling, appeared on hand in hand in Kigali during the Kusi Ideas Festival. Félix  also visited the Tutsi genocide memorial and wrote in the guestbook that the Congolese victims were collateral victims of regional wars, a statement that had provoked contrasting reactions. At that time, we spoke of "active diplomacy".

(5) His greatest partner, Vital Kamerhe, went to Rwanda and gave cows in a wedding at Kabarebe's, in the name of the friendship that now bound their two Presidents.

(6) May 2021, Denise Nyakeru, First Lady of the DRC, spent several days in Kigali as part of an "official visit", participating in activities organized in her honor.

(7) June 2021, Félix Tshisekedi signed an agreement with Kagame on the exploitation of Congolese gold by the Rwandan company DITHER LTD, a highly controversial decision at that time.

(8) After the eruption of Nyiragongo, Claude Ibalanky announced that Rwanda would build a modern city for the victims on Congolese soil, financed to the tune of 30 million USD, a donation presented as a generous gesture from President Kagame.

Then, around July/August, it was the divorce. And we cannot continue to hide the fact that what is happening to DRC is the consequence of broken un calculated commitments.

M23's intelligence is recconoitring Bukavu!!!Will the wazalendo manage to save Bukavu??

There is no doubt that M23 will lay or is preparing an attack on Bukavu.After the fall of Goma,M23 regained more confidence,got more supporters and achieved more recruits.And most importantly received a huge boost to their armory from guns left behind by the FARDC and their allies.According to latest intelligence, alot of M23 spies are spread and monitoring situation in the key strategic points of Bukavu.It very sad and unfortunate for very few will be ready to hear such facts.The M23 is ready and in high gear to take on the city of Bukavu.It with this or to this effect that FARDC made alot deployments mainly to guard the Kavumu airport,several sources also indicate that slot South African army is currently being deployed in DRC with the latest batch to arrived have dropped in at the begging of this weekend.The M23 is believe to be currently 30 km away from Kavumu airport.

Recently,the wazalendo and youth groups in South kivu issue a message of encouragement to FARDC as follows:

MESSAGE OF ENCOURAGEMENT FROM THE YOUNG REVOLUTIONARIES OF CONCO TO THE FARDC AND WAZALENDO IN A POSITION OF STRENGTH ON THE FRONT LINE IN KALEHE IN THE PROVINCE OF SOUTH KIVU

It is with satisfaction that the Congolese people in general and particularly the Young Revolutionaries, have followed the successes and the rise in power of our FARDC army on the Rwandan army and its M23 / AFC auxiliaries on the front line in several localities in the territory of KALEHE, Following these victorious advances, the Young Revolutionaries of Congo congratulate the FARDC in collaboration with our Wazalendo and encourage them to hold strong to completely liberate our Homeland unjustly attacked by the KAGAME regime.

On this same occasion, the Young Revolutionaries continue to sensitize their members and all the youth of the DRC in general to enlist massively in the defense and security forces to fight the enemy to its last entrenchment.

The Young Revolutionaries urge the Head of State and the government to improve the motivation of our defense forces and detect the traitor spies who demotivate the true patriots at the fronts.

Finally, the Young Revolutionaries ask the administrators of the whatsapp groups to watch over the stateless people who share messages of intoxication, to panic and who publish inappropriate images in favor of the enemy.
