Rwandan Defense Forces in DRC - 2012

On March 27 - 28, 2022, Rwandan Speciali Forces under the cover of M23 Congolese rebels launched major military operations in Rutshuru and Bwisha, in North-Kivu, Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). According to AfroAmerica Network sources within the Congo Desk in Kigali, Rwanda and in the Nork-Kivu region of the DRC, the attacks follow days of systematic public tortures and execution of Congolese civilians in the region by  Rwandan special forces in M23 uniforms. DRC and Rwandan leaders have been in negotiations to address the situation and theUnited Nations peacekeeping mission in DRC (MONUSCO), International Conference on the Great Lakes Region (CIRGL), and Ugandan military (UDF) have also been involved in finding a solution.

After almost 3 decades of respite, apart a few here and there, waves of military coups and coup attempts have returned in Africa, again. The stakes are high and some leaders, especially those labelled dictators, are already preparing for potential coups against their reign, readying and organizing their close associates and family members for the worst scenarios. Two key leaders, already ahead in the preparation,  are  the Rwandan General Paul Kagame and Ugandan Yoweri Museveni. Anticipating chaos after their departure, the two leaders have been preparing their succession to the throne: their son and daughter.  Following the report on the scenarios secretely investigated or explored by the closest advisers and family members  of the two presidents who have been working with the most trusted agents within Ugandan Special Forces Command (SFC)  and the Rwandan Directorate of Military Intelligence (DMI), AfroAmerica Network has obtained additional information regarding the top scenario already in action.

Rwandan Defense Forces in DRC - 2012

According to AfroAmerica Network sources within the Congo Desk in Kigali, Rwanda and in the region bordering the DRC, Rwandan special forces wearing M23 uniforms have started to cross into DRC to reinforce those already there. Rwandan special forces within M23 rebel group started military operations in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in January 2022, killing FARDC soldiers and blaming Rwandan rebels of the FDLR,  RUD-Urunana, and RPR-Inkeragutabara of starting the conflict.  According to AfroAmerica Network sources with the Congo desk within the Rwandan Defense Forces, the reasons are more complex and strategic.
