  Watch the footage! M23 has signed entry  cAlimbongo in North Kivu.Footage filmed by M23 rebels shows their presence in the village of Alimbongo, after fighting against the FARDC. This strategic capture opens the way for the M23 towards Lubero center and the city of Butembo.  The town of Alimbongo (Lubero territory) has finally come under the control of the M23 rebels supported by Rwanda despite 15 days of resistance by the Congolese army. The inhabitants of Alimbongo testified that the rebels signed their entry into this town around 5 p.m. local time at the end of the fighting that pitted them against the Congolese army since 10 a.m.  Alimbongo, in the Bamate chiefdom, had until then been the army's major strategic obstacle since the announcement of the ceasefire by the United States of America in early August, the day after the fall of Kirumba, Kayna and Kanyabayonga.  Its fall comes after that of Matembe conquered Sunday by the rebels. With the fall of Alimb...

The M23 rebels recaptured the Matembe area yesterday evening, Sunday, forcing the DRC armed forces to retreat towards Vutsorovia. This comes after Rwanda's refusal to take part in the Luanda talks. Despite massive losses to FARDC last week,Sources on the Frontline are talking about a reinforcement of the rebels' fortifications, perhaps in view of large-scale attacks. I am assuring this,basing on the level of reinforcements,it is going to be a bloody attack. No official  communication from the FARDC for the moment about this. .

  The tripartite between Congolese President Félix Tshisekedi, Rwandan President Paul Kagame and Angolan President Joâo Lourenço will no longer take place. This announcement was made this Sunday, December 15, 2024, by the Congolese Presidency. According to this source, the cancellation of this meeting is caused by the refusal of the Rwandan delegation to take part in this meeting supposed to put an end to hostilities in the East of the DRC by the withdrawal of Rwandan troops from Congolese zones. "Started more than 5 hours late, while the Congolese party was already in the room, the ministerial meeting between the DRC and Rwanda, which was to validate the agreement to be submitted for signature by the heads of state, ended in a damp squib." The Rwandan delegation inserted a clause not provided for in the initial agreement. This new paragraph makes the signing of this agreement conditional on direct negotiations between the DRC and the M23. Something the DRC has always refused...

Mediator appointed by the African Union for a peaceful and diplomatic resolution of the armed conflict between the DRC and Rwanda, Joâo Lourenço wants to obtain from the two leaders of the DRC and Rwanda the signing of an agreement to end hostilities or better a firm commitment to a disengagement of the Rwandan armed forces (RDF) from Congolese territory, a proven presence documented by United Nations experts, underlines the communication unit of the presidency of the DRC via a dispatch.

  The whole of this week we are ending,I got a lot information and more devastating and shocking photos from the Frontline in Lubero which I hesitated to put here not because I feared but  because I thought it would  cause some military defence hysteria and political doubts.But as you know,this is an era driven by computerization,information and internet communications.It is very hard to determine which is the true information and the duplicated one.In the things FARDC captured ,there were IDs from refugee camps in Uganda and at first a question lingered to my mind,what if it is a duplicated ID card. Now let me get down to the information? For quite a good time,many media outlets in DRC have been alleging speculating and with a lot rumours,wrote about the M23 making recruitment from refugee camps in Uganda.Despite all this ,the Congolese gorvenment looked at these writings as mere allegations for it did not want to spoil the good relationships between the two states and p...
