Media rumours around Kinshasha has it that the former president,Mr Joooseph Kabila put in alot millions of dollars(around 5million US Dollars) to capture kalemie.Some day ago,the Congolese government denounced the presence of Rwandan troops, estimated at three battalions, deployed in the highlands of Fizi, Uvira, and Mwenga, in the province of SouthKivu, in eastern DRC.

These M23 elements are allegedly  infiltrating and joining the Twirwaneho rebels to conceal their true identity. Their plan is to take the road leading to Mitumba hills, passing through Elende_N’Ebukala, then through the Mount Kabobo reserve in the Nganja area towards Fizi, before joining the Bendera Forces and advancing along the Kalemie axis, in the province of Tanganyika.

The government has also alerted the population and the international community so that no one is caught off guard. While Kigali claims the M23-AFC has “withdrawn” from the Uvira territory, the reality on the ground seems to indicate otherwise.

Beni-Butembo road : DOTT Services rejects responsibility for the impassable road

 

The road blockage on the Beni-Butembo road is attributed to rain and repeated breakdowns of heavy trucks. For the past two days, long lines of vehicles have been reported in Kisalala, in the Maboya area.

DOTT Services maintains that the road itself has no major defects, pointing instead to the improper loading of heavy trucks, some exceeding 150 tons, which are unsuitable for this infrastructure.

Authorities are urging patience, assuring the public that the disruptions are temporary and related to ongoing modernization work.

FARDC retakes part of uvira

  

The Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (FARDC) confirmed on Friday, December 26, 2025, the forced withdrawal of M23-AFC rebel troops from the center of Uvira, in South Kivu province.

According to Second Lieutenant Mbuyi Kalonji Reagan, spokesperson for the Congolese army in the Sokola 2 South operational sector of South Kivu, this was not a voluntary withdrawal, but rather a forced one. The rebels were compelled by the FARDC to leave Uvira after four days of fighting.

“This is not a voluntary withdrawal, but a forced withdrawal, following military pressure from the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo, which led these terrorists to withdraw from downtown Uvira,” he stated.

He indicated that the Congolese army succeeded in sinking two M23-AFC rebel boats stationed at the port of Kalundu, carrying military equipment belonging to this rebellion supported by the Rwandan army, thus forcing the rebels to establish their new headquarters more than 20 km from the city of Uvira.

Second Lieutenant Mbuyi Kalonji Reagan also reported that, during the four days of fighting, the Congolese army inflicted heavy losses on the M23-AFC, notably capturing 13 fighters. Eleven weapons were also recovered by the FARDC. He called on the population of Uvira to remain calm and vigilant, before reiterating the determination of the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo to protect the territorial integrity of the DRC.

Lt. Col Manirakiza of Burundian army shot dead by M23.

Lieutenant-Colonel Patrice Manirakiza, who commanded the 18th battalion of the Burundian army that had facilitated the fight against the AFC/M23 in the Democratic Republic of Congo, died on Wednesday, December 24, 2025.

The officer died at Tanganyika Care Hospital in Bujumbura from his wounds, where he had been ill for more than two weeks.

On December 6, Lt. Col Manirakiza was shot in the Luvungi area of ​​South Kivu province, while the troops he was leading were engaged in combat with AFC/M23 rebels.

Those who were with him when he was shot said that he was hit by a drone strike. When he saw it, he immediately asked his guard to enter his sleeping quarters, pack everything and leave the barracks.

As the soldier entered to pack his belongings, Lt. Col Manirakiza was hit by a second bomb, seriously injuring him, and reports say he was the only one injured.

The soldier died while reports say the bomb had damaged his internal organs, including his kidneys and intestines, as well as his legs.

Commander of the Kamina Military Base, General Dieudonné Muhima is under arrest.

The series of arrests within the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (FARDC) continues with the detention, on Sunday, December 21, 2025, of General Dieudonné Muhima Batechi, commander of the strategic Kamina military base. He is accused of embezzling public funds and military rations, in the context of an intensified fight against corruption within the Congolese army.

This arrest brings to at least 22 the number of generals detained since the beginning of this vast operation to "moralize" the armed forces, initiated by the General Staff of the Armed Forces. General Muhima Batechi is not unknown: a former right-hand man of the controversial General Muhindo Akili, known as "Mundos," himself under sanctions from the European Union and the United States for serious human rights violations, he is also alleged to have been involved in dubious affairs, notably the suspected plot surrounding the assassination of Colonel Mamadou Ndala.

According to several military intelligence sources in FARDC, the arrest took place on the morning of December 21, in an atmosphere of palpable tension. Major General Sylvain Ekenge, spokesperson for the FARDC (Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo), confirmed during a briefing that these arrests are part of a series of disciplinary measures targeting "highly reprehensible acts related to state security." However, the army is invoking the secrecy of the investigation, which currently limits transparency regarding the precise charges and available evidence.

This latest arrest raises questions about the true extent of corruption within the Congolese army, as well as the potential political motivations behind some of the detentions. While some welcome a desire for reform and the restoration of military integrity, others denounce a selective, even politically motivated, witch hunt.

General Muhima Batechi thus joins a list of high-ranking officers recently implicated, in a context where the military justice system seems determined to crack down hard. It remains to be seen whether these proceedings will lead to exemplary convictions or whether they will become bogged down in the complexities of a judicial system often criticized for its opacity.

A turning point or a smokescreen? The question remains open. But one thing is certain: the purge within the FARDC is far from over.
