All DRC officials who have arrived in Beni must be identified!

 

The military governor of North Kivu requests the identification of all Goma government officials who have arrived in the city of Beni, the temporary headquarters of provincial institutions.

In his telegram to his local authorities, he requests that checks be conducted on these officials to identify those who participated in the M23's ideological training before traveling there.

It should be noted that the M23 rebels, having taken control of the city of Goma, have indicated that only those who have already participated in the ideological training will work in their administration, a training that several officials took in order to keep their positions.

Earhart Turner Wins $5 Million Contract with the DRC

 

 Earhart Turner, a new lobbying and public relations firm, has landed a six-month, $5 million contract with the Democratic Republic of Congo, less than a month after opening. The firm will represent the Central African nation in a historic partnership aimed at strengthening the DRC's global influence.

Karen Giorno, a prominent figure in American politics with 35 years of experience advising U.S. presidents and first ladies, was tapped by Congolese President Félix Tshisekedi at a critical moment. The terrorist incursion into the Congo from neighboring Rwanda already constitutes one of the most devastating and bloody Christian genocides in history.

Earhart Turner LLC brings Trumpian tenacity to the Washington, D.C. lobbying scene. Giorno is joined by Senior Partner Milo Yiannopoulos, a veteran media executive who co-authored 17 New York Times bestsellers. “With my 30 years of political success, including campaigns for President Trump, and Milo’s media expertise, we offer a refreshing alternative to the traditional K Street firms left behind by the Trump era,” said Giorno.

Earhart Turner’s DRC deal propels Karen Giorno overnight to the ranks of Washington, D.C.’s top lobbyists. Ronald D. Coleman is joining the firm as General Counsel from Dhillon Law Group. Hassan A. Sheikh, a compliance and campaign finance expert, joined the firm as a Junior Partner today.

He was arrested at the Grande Barrière in Goma while attempting to transport his assistant, Thomas d'Acquin Muiti Luanda, into enemy territory to impose the M23 ideology on him. Thomas, a former president of North Kivu's civil society, is known for his anti-Rwandan stance.
