The match for Bukavu is likely to open a grand war on DRC!

 Today,there was heavy fighting on 3 fronts in Minembwe, EPÙPÙ and MWENGE, in the territory of Fizi opposing the Armed Forces of the DR Congo, supported by the Patriots Wazalendo and the group Twirwaneho Red_Ntabara allied to the M23_AFC supported by Rwanda.

Reliable sources within the M23 reveal that the rebels of the M23 are hesitant to engage in a front on the Uvira - Fizi axis because of the fierce nationalism that reigns among the population of these areas.

Reliable sources say that the rebels are seeking to take control of the Minembwe airfield to facilitate the delivery of equipment to reinforce a new front on the Uvira, Fizi and Baraka axis in  the S.kivu and Maniema, Tanganyika and Haut-Katanga axis in eastern DRC

The M23 is already present in Minembwe through its Twirwaneho auxiliary.

Today,there was  expanded security council that took place in the city of Uvira to discuss the worsening threat to these provinces.

As usual the Armed Forces of the DR Congo and Wazalendo claim to have managed to push back the Twirwaneho / Red_Tabara rebels allied with the M23-AFC, on these three front lines this Saturday in Minembwe, EPÙPÙ and MIENGE, in the Fizi territory in S.kivu, in the east of the DRC. The customary chief of Minembwe, Mr. NDAHIDA KAROJO, was killed in this War. The airfield remains under the control of the FARDC.

M23 enters Bukavu,Prisoners evade the central prison of Bukavu!

 A new setback for the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (FARDC). OnFriday, February 14, the M23 rebels, supported by the Rwandan armed forces, took full control of Kavumu airport, located 30 km from Bukavu, the provincial capital of South Kivu.

Control of Kavumu airport, the second largest in Greater Kivu after Goma, strengthens the position of the rebels, who continued their advance in the Kabare territory. According to information from the city of Kabamba, in the Irhambi Katana group, the rebels, accompanied by their Rwandan allies,penetrated the Kabare territory.

"The M23 and their allies invaded Kavumu airport after a calm crossing from Katana to Kavumu, without major clashes," indicates our local sources.

On  Thursday 13 February, the FARDC and their allies put up fierce resistance to the rebels who were already trying to seize the airport. However, according to the same sources, no confrontation took place between the two camps in the Kavumu area.

“The FARDC withdrew voluntarily to avoid endangering the lives of the local population,” said a witness.

After having already taken control of the Goma airport in North Kivu, the M23 rebels now control two essential airport infrastructures in the region.

“With this takeover, the M23 is extending its influence over South Kivu, making it even more difficult to re-establish state authority,” said an analyst of the situation on the ground.

After the battle to take over kavumu,numerous advance teams of M23 started thorough sorrounding in the outskirts of Bukavu,by exactly 08:45 PM (09:45PM east African time).the M23 had fully entered the city of Bukavu.The administration of Bukavu, including the gorvenor of South Kivu have since Wednesday transferred their administrative offices to uvira.It worth noting that the mighty lions of sarambwe are also ready to March for the capture and liberation of Uvira,I know that you cannot comprehend this but that is the reality.The extension to uvira will explode and make the make the war enormous.The administration in katanga is calling people to be vigilant .The FARDC is leaving minus fighting and various opinionists in DRC are in confusion of who is ordering FARDC not to fight.
