M23 officially lead the Passing out of over 5000 new recruits in Rumangabo

According to many of my confidants and intelligence sources inside the M23 hierarchy in Rumangabo, a new contingent of AFC soldiers has just completed its training, bringing the total number of trained personnel within the movement to nearly 5,000.

According to my intelligence sources from the high command of the mighty M23/AFC (Congo River Alliance) leaders,they confirmed  to me that this marks a significant strengthening of their operational capabilities.

As I earlier said on most of my social media ,accounts,it is very dangerous for the Kinshasha government to underestimate the power of M23.Iam very sure that M23 with its military tacticians are using a delay methodology to easily and calculatively take over the city of Uvira.The take over of Uvira will certainly be at the end of the year or the beginning of 2026.

A conversation from junior officer and other low ranking officers,indicates that they are eager to take over Uvira and in high morale to even engage the government officers in quest for the takeover of the whole administration in Kinshasha .In a conversation with one officer on Frontline ,he had this to say "nkubu imana idufashije mukuru wacu twizera twese ,ariwe uhira urinzwe nimana "Afande Makenga" akadukorera plan maze na Kinshasha tukayigabaho ibitero bakamenyako dukeneye Kandi dufite uburenganzira bwose bwo gutaha nogutura muri congo".

He further stressed that "Makenga ICYO yatubwoira cyose twagikora kukiguzi cyose .."

Morning clashes in Rugezi as wazalendo faces Twirwaneho -Red tabara

Today morning ,Violent clashes have been reported in Rugezi, near Minembwe, between Twirwaneho and Red-Tabara fighters, allied with the M23/ARC, and Wazalendo militias supported by the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo. The fighting is taking place in the Fizi highlands of South Kivu, in the eastern part of the country.

The Wazalendo of the CPLC/FABB group, under the command of Lieutenant General Delphin Kalembe Ngoma Nzito, have been resisting a coordinated attack by the M23, Twirwaneho, Red-Tabara, and the FNL since 7:45 AM. The fighting has also spread to the villages of Timbia, Ngoma, and Rudabadaba.

Emmanuel Kamanzi released after nearly a year in custody.

The president of the Tutsi community of North Kivu, Emmanuel Kamanzi, arrested in Goma and then transferred to Kinshasa on March 22, 2024, has just been released by the Congolese government.

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.

Two days of sit down demonstration to honor the victims of the ADF and demand peace.

The first day of inactivity, this Friday, November 28, 2025, is being organized by a coalition of pressure groups and citizen movements to honor the memory of the victims of the ADF massacres in Ntoyo, Byambwe, Mukondo, Mabambi, and other localities in North Kivu. It aims to reiterate the refusal to normalize this tragedy and to urge the government to take action.

The second day of inactivity will take place on Tuesday, December 2, at the call of the Synergy of Women's Organizations of Butembo (SYOFEM), which condemned the atrocities, of which women are particularly victims, during a meeting at the ADF headquarters on November 25. SYOFEM is organizing a peaceful march to demand greater involvement from the authorities in restoring peace.
