Stupidity of African, allow western powers used u and take ur resources for little of nothing because of instability
This shows they’re ready to make Peace, unfortunately they only handing over to the East African force, when the EAC force might pull out after 6 months
I think MR23 know that they have all the time in the world.
The devoo in aj offices That’s obsessed with only war news from Africa
Mostly a white dude from USA pink skinned or an arab
I hope your life would be only wars at work home everywhere you go
The rebels want a ceasefire
DRC isn’t ready for a peaceful conversation and to end the war.
Rebels are wrong to inflict pain and suffering to the innocent
Peace is never free
Their people are being burned alive and eaten by other Congolese because they look Rwandese,I would fight too If I was them.plz do more research about what they are fighting for you will probably change your mind. And Ironically on paper Congolese military commit way more crimes than M23.
Such a win is a win for all Africans.
Africans have now leant to solve their problems by themselves
Belgium must pay a heavy reparations to Congolese formerly known as Zaire and return more than 84,000 cultural artifacts looted from Congo by Belgium
no be happy you writing these because of us whites
This are Rwandan soldiers disguised as m23 rebels
Since Kagame and his Tutsis gang took power in 1994, more than 10 million+ Bantu people have died in Eastern Congo and Rwanda. This is a clear genocide of Bantu people by Tutsi Regine of Rwanda and the world is watching quietly…
Western countries who champion human right and liberties know very well what is happening in Eastern Congo and no of them is saying anything cos for them looting Congo minerals thru Rwanda is more important than human lives, what a shame…
Withdraw and come back again with Rwanda 🇷🇼 help to loot more resources
Imagine if Africa we come together?
Specifically Kenya defence forces
Wait first for the job to be done
Nzenze as professional commander
Stop abusing your country in the name of money what you’re doing for M23 could be doing it for your country those strangers are wiser than you they they gave you the title bcz they know none of them is able to do so CONGO wake up [VOICE OF BENI]
Kenya doing what they do🇰🇪✊
This is blame game for sure
UN Security Council quizzed Museveni on allegations of Uganda backing M23 Rebels. A team from the United Nations Security Council in New York has tasked Uganda’s leader, Yoweri Museveni to clarify on reports that Uganda and Rwanda are backing the M23 rebels in North Kivu, Eastern Congo. Museveni met the delegation from the United Nations Security Council led by Ambassador Michel Xavier Biang, the Permanent Representative of Gabon to the UN, at Commonwealth Resort Hotel, Munyonyo in Kampala on Friday 06 January 23. ChimpReports understands that the UN Security Council tabled information pinning Uganda and Rwanda in supporting the M23 rebels, a dangerous accusation that could attract sanctions against both countries for violating Congo’s territorial integrity. For Uganda, it is alleged M23 rebels were helped by a UPDF commander in his individual capacity while for Rwanda, experts presented satellite data showing Rwandan soldiers crossing into DRC to reinforce the insurgents. In response, President Museveni denied reports that Uganda was helping M23 rebels in any way. Museveni gave the assurance to the UN Security Council that “East Africa as a team under the commandership of Kenya cannot fail to investigate and know” the truth. “If we work in East Africa we shall go, investigate and get facts instead of counter accusations which never end,” Museveni assured. He also told the UN Security Council that rebel groups destabilizing Eastern Congo have at times acquired firearms from the weak Congo army.
Thanks for the great information
The M23 entered Bunagana from Uganda. Both Rwanda and Uganda autocratic regimes are directly involved in this conflict. Both regimes have been looting DRC minerals for over 25 years now. Not long ago the Rwandan army and Ugandan army fought in the Eastern Congo over mines. How can Museveni or Kagame denies their involvements in this conflict that have claimed the lives of millions Congolese.
KDF
M23 should disarm but never be integrated in DRC security forces but civilian service. Let Rwanda take back it’s Tutsi brothers and not use them to contain Hutu FDLR on foreign soil infact DRC should expel both Hutu and Tutsi back to Rwanda for long term stability of DRC.
i love you ALL
my best wishes thoughts prayers and meditations for ALL
ONE 💛
M23 no but wagner group ok not reported 👇
Drc should change its national language to Kiswahili or English, and break all connections with president Omicron of France
@Esta Jeanette neither is french
@Muhire David we will look for Congolese languages no more foreign languages in congo.
@Esta Jeanette speak lingala then
@Esta Jeanette Swahili is a bantu language. It is the 2nd most spoken language on the African continent. Its an Official African language. Go do good research and learn
@Karani Namunyu 😂🤣 first of all Swahili is from Zanzibar not Congo so it not a native Congolese language. I am sure I am correct on that one. Second. I know that Swahili is a bantu and an African language. Third. It is not Africa’s official language because Africa is a continent and within it there are many languages. Swahili is only an official language in Tanzania and Kenya as far as I know.
Kagama and putin are all thieves they want to steal Land
I see kagame soldiers doing damages in Congo and this is the man that most African thinks he is innocent
What is FDLR doing in DRC? Have eyes but can’t see.
Is?
Ow DRC 🇨🇩 ! 🧐
Kenya is playing double game
how?
@Eman ranka it’s helping Kagame as it pretend to help Tshisekedi
@uu2013 ooh, ok!
M23 are evil; they are Kagame tribesmen
It’s time for Colonials to redraw the borders because DRC been accusing Rwandophone for years that’s why there’s millions of Rwandophone refugees in Rwanda from Eastern Congo who fled from the massacre against them held by Bahunde, Mai mai, FDLR, and FARDC with Kabira government backed the massacre as well. And now Tshisekedi is doing the same.
Shame on you and on your criminel president.
I have never seen a rebel group that does not seek a central government take over nor a separation but just operates like terrorists to kill. If these people are seeking an independent state or to take over the central government, they will be genuine but they are not. We don’ t even know what they want other than we are stigmatized!
how come a country with tons of gold and silver cant provide their citizens a good life and security still blaming their problems on another country since 1990
It’s because of a very poor and small country with a war specialist as president.
All the evidence is brought to the face of the World on the Rwandan aggression in the DRC. The Rwandan merchandise or recipe for genocide no one wants. This is an expired recipe
They are playing games.. they are withdrawing in those locations and go to capture another locations. This is a bullshit
Rwanda bla bla bla How in the world people who can’t be responsible run one of the bigest country in African?
Kenya Defence Forces seem to be doing the most, I hope DRC forces will pull up their socks because KDF wouldn’t stay their permanently
Africans have too many problems
People have eyes but can’t see. What is FDLR doing in DRC?
They are looting our minerals for Kagame by killing congolese civilians. What else?
@Bruno Kalonji You mean FDLR are working for Kagame at the same time working for Kisekedi=FRDC. Impossible. Try to write down some sense.
This is not the case on the ground. The M23 did a strategic withdraw so that they can concentrate their forces in Masisi ( mineral rich town). They entered this town under the watch of the regional force (Kenyan defense forces). Masisi fell without fight. It seems as if the regional force created a corridor to help the M23 to capture Masisi. Tensions and distrust are mounting here as to the rôle the Kenyan forces are playing in the DRC. We can foresee the Congolese army and civilians turning against this force that seems to help M23 capture more cities than helping maintain peace and stability in that region. The mission of the regional force needs to be clarified.
Not plage but remouve them every where.
It is not about rebellion but invasion of Rwandan army.
The conflict is Rwanda trying to keep looting the Eastern DRC. That is all. Multinational companies are behind all this financing the war. Rwanda has no money to finance the war. You have to understand this. This regime in Rwanda position itself to allow international thieves to use the territory to steal from DRC using armed groupes creating incontroled areas.
If this M23 was for the people of DRC people won’t run away from the towns they occupy they are just thieves sent by multinational companies.. This Rwandan regime is surviving on stealing.
Not rebelles Madamme, it is Rwandan Army. They killed people in Kishishe.
You journalists can’t you see that people are runing fleeing from the agressor to the Government army? Things are clear.
After Antony J. Blinken sternly ordered Rwanda to withdraw its troops under the M23 rebels, the M23 did not withdraw – instead they regrouped to take other positions. The M23 is undoubtedly the Rwandan and Ugandan armies. The youths decided to organize themselves to protect the people in their villages – in return the M23 so far starts murdering people with machetes and bullets as they don’t know who is in the local defense group. The European Union and the United Nations must act against the Kagame regime.
