President Museveni has ordered the dissolution of the UPDF Fisheries Protection Unit after an intelligence probe found mismanagement, overfishing and alleged extortion of fishermen.
The unit’s roles have been handed over to the UPDF Marine Forces, and landing site committees have been scrapped. UPDF says the unit is now under Marine command.
Sources say Lt Col Mercy Tukahirwa, who commanded the unit, is to be redeployed, though UPDF says the unit is now under Marine Forces command.
This military officer joins the ranks of several other generals arrested on charges of treason during this war.
According to Intelligence survey,While some compatriots encourage the wave of arrests of officers accused of colluding with whom they blame to be "the enemy of the government" to, "serve as an example," others see this as a weakening of the congolese army.
According to OSINT collections,it seems most of the collaborators of FARDC from Tutsi and hutu communities of kivu are not happy at how officers from this area are being arrested yet they are the ones fighting harder more than them.
They lament that!
"Why was Masunzu was imprisoned yet he did not engage in any fighting, allegedly because Nzibira was captured during peace talks.
One asked,don't you know Nyembo, why is he not imprisoned because Uvira was arrested?Another lamented that History shows that there were two Tutsi Colonels who fell in the battle in Kibumba, they died, and there was a ceremony to bury them with honor in Goma.And Remember the Hutu Colonel who fell in Rugali.
It is also worth to Remember the hutu colonel who was killed in Tuonane, a.
I tell you my brother that there are no FARDC soldiers who are so brave and fight like these hutu and Tutsi soldiers from kivu,why are they being arrested because of the fall of localities and cities,yet their own who are top commanders are not arrested?, My brother,I can tell you,we the Tutsis and hutus of kivu are tired on these impartial and unreasonable treatment.

Lieutenant General Philémon Yav was arrested on Monday, September 19, 2022, and transferred to Makala Central Prison.
This FARDC (Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo) officer was in command of five provinces: North Kivu, South Kivu, Ituri, Maniema, and Tshopo.
Uganda will host a summit of regional heads of state this coming Sunday to address the rapidly deteriorating security situation in eastern DRC, as fighting around Uvira heightens fears of a wider regional conflict.
Preparations for the meeting are in high gear and the ministry of external affairs is prepared to host this important meeting.
The meeting will focus on recent advances by the AFC/M23 armed group in South Kivu province particularly the capture of Uvira and the growing humanitarian crisis,with the meeting's main target of avoiding a regional war.
With M23 having announced it's withdrawal from Uvira as commanded by USA,many see it's withdrawal as a tactical move by Rwanda.
According to our sources, rather than retreating to Kamanyola or returning to Rwanda, the majority of Rwandan soldiers present in Uvira have chosen to head towards the highlands and middle plateaus of Uvira territory. They are currently moving towards the Fizi and Menembwe regions and their surrounding areas.
It is important to note that no precise data is available at this time, but according to our estimates, of the Rwandan soldiers already stationed in the city of Uvira, approximately 70% have headed towards the highlands and middle plateaus.
