Nothing from Washington as it was from Doha!War must continue.

As Kagame and TSHISEKEDI are expected in Washington in the coming days,The ceasefire remains virtually nonexistent as clashes persist in the region. Following Kilungutwe and Kasika's advance to Kidasa in the Mwenga territory, our intelligence report that the M23 rebels and their allies harbor ambitions of advancing towards the territory's main town, located approximately 35 km from Kidasa, where the rebels and their camp are already situated.

While all sides continue to systematically violate the ceasefire, Kinshasa ostentatiously claims respect for the Doha process. According to intelligence on Frontline and inside FARDC operational command in south Kivu,the armed forces, the FARDC, are continually withdrawing, which is causing concern among local civil society. Civilians are asking: "How far will these retreats go?"

Our intelligence sources close to Burundians contingents in UVIRA complain of the unseriousness,unpatriotic, undisciplined and money minded nature of the Congolese elements on the Frontline that has impinged on most of the strategic battle plans.In Shabunda the Wazalendo  are bitterly accused of installing barricades that lead to extortion,where the interim chief of the Baliga group was reportedly humiliated by Wazalendo elements based in Mulungu, the group's main town. According to local sources, the traditional chief allegedly attempted to oppose the installation of a 5,000 FC barrier on the Nyakigongo River in Kitandi/Mulungu.

FARDC soldiers have been fleeing the battlefield at Mwenga-Kamituga. They are heading towards the Baliga area, in the Shabunda territory, and are going from village to village and mining site to demand money from residents and traders. Two groups were seen on on friday in Kamulila; the population there collected 1,000,000 Congolese francs, and then these soldiers headed towards Chelamzi.

The Baliga area has several mining sites located near the Ulindi River. The local population is panicked and no longer knows how to reach Kamituga. In these mining sites, many traders from Bukavu and Goma are stranded, unable to leave Baliga to reach Kamituga and continue their journey to Bukavu. It is also difficult for them to pass through Kigulube, Evari, or Nzibira to reach Bukavu.

Only one route remains viable: traveling down the Ulindi River to Shabunda-centre, a four-day journey. Once in Shabunda, it's possible to fly to Beni or Kalemie. From Beni, one can reach Goma, then take a boat to Bukavu.

Previously, the trip from Baliga to Bukavu cost around 200,000 Congolese francs (FC). Today, it costs between 600 and 1,000 USD. In the Baliga area, there are no money transfer or withdrawal services, which exacerbates the suffering of the population. The Wazalendo people refuse to accept this situation.

I know the geography of eastern DRC very well. I regularly receive calls and messages from traders from Bukavu and Goma who describe the situation to me, I know this region intimately,having relatives all over North and South Kivu and even Manyema.

 DRC: Army Calls on US and Qatari Negotiators to Address AFC/M23 Violations of Agreements

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (FARDC) denounced , in a press briefing, the "continued aggression" by the AFC/M23 rebellion despite the commitments made in recent agreements, including the ceasefire.

"Every day, the M23/AFC coalition continues to attack our positions, systematically violating the ceasefire," declared the spokesperson for the armed forces, Major General Sylvain Ekenge.

He called on the American and Qatari facilitators of the negotiations to "immediately take the necessary measures" in response to these "expansionist ambitions."

While reaffirming their commitment to the peace process, the FARDC (Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo) warned that they “have taken and will continue to take all necessary measures on the ground to respond firmly to these provocations.”

This hardening of their stance comes as new fighting has been reported in the last 48 hours in Masisi and Walikale, in North Kivu, as well as in South Kivu, raising fears of a large-scale resumption of hostilities in eastern DRC.

It aims to reiterate the refusal to normalize this tragedy and to urge the government to take action.

M23 now controlling kimbili and nyarubemba

 In South Kivu, the villages of Kimbili and Nyarubemba are now controlled by the AFC-M23 rebels. This territorial takeover follows an offensive launched on November 20 against positions held by the FARDC (Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo) supported by the Wazalendo (Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo). The fighting particularly targeted outposts in the Basiki chiefdom, within the Bamuguba Sud group.

Following the clashes, the rebels consolidated their presence in the area, marking a strategic advance in the Shabunda territory. This episode has also triggered significant population displacement: approximately 160 families are reported to have fled their homes to escape the insecurity. These households come primarily from Lulimba, Kimbili, Mulanga, and Ngolombe. Some have headed towards villages such as Isesya, Lutika, or Kiluma, while others, more vulnerable, have retreated into the bush, hoping to find some respite until a possible ceasefire.

The M23's advance in this region is causing serious concern among the population, especially as it comes amid persistent tensions in eastern DRC.
