The spokesperson
for Sokala 2 operations, Colonel Guillaume Njike Kaiko, announced this Sunday,
October 23 that some M23 rebels were captured during clashes between them and
the FARDC.
These clashes
continued this Sunday around the area of Ntamugenga, more than thirty km
southeast of the capital of the territory of Rutshuru, in the province of North
Kivu.
“The enemy again
tried to attack our positions in Ntamugenga. Until this Sunday, we are in the
process of containing it. All enemy initiatives are foiled by the FARDC. There
are already captured among the rebels. Know that your army is evolving very
well on the ground,” said Colonel Guillaume Njike Kaiko.
He invites the
population living in the area where the fighting is taking place to take
shelter:
“It is rather a
question of the population having confidence in its army and that it takes
shelter from the fact that the enemy fires on the populations who go to the
fields, on motorcycles, … he has already caused losses in human lives on the
side of the population. Let the people take shelter. His army remains
determined to put an end once and for all to this enemy who only listens to the
language of arms”.
Meanwhile Willy
Ngoma said “Contrary to everything said on the web, The
@M23_ARC has
never lost 1mm of its space; no force has the ability to dislodge us. On the
other hand, the enemy is in disarray and is looting the villages.
Contrairement à tout ce qui dise sur la toile,Le #M23 n'a jamais perdu 1mm de son espace ;aucune force a la capacité de nous deloger.par contre l'ennemi est en débandade et pillonne les villages.#vae_victis!!! pic.twitter.com/Mtd771pyYo
