After the bloody conflict between M23 and the FARDC, which is supported by rebel groups like the terrorist FDLR, things have gotten worse. The entire Masisi region might be seized as a result of FARDC provocations. M23 vowed to take control all of Masisi.
On this Sunday 01 January 2023, fighting continued in the rural areas of Kamatembe and in the Bwiza area.
The news source in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, says that the area of Bwiza, seems to be under the control of M23 after the group attacked it several times.
It was an attack by the FARDC in collaboration with groups such as FDLR, Mai-Mai and Nyatura, where they attacked the M23 bases, and found the fighters of this group also standing there.
After the FARDC and its goons were driven out of the Kitshanga region, the M23 group declared that the area to be safe.
It should capture all of Masisi as its security management, according to m23, if the FARDC and these organizations continue to antagonize it.
Up to 95 FARDC soldiers were killed in the fierce combat last weekend, including a body of a white guy who is thought to be one of the 100 Russians from the Wagner Task Force under Tshisekedi.
