14:07
the recent intensification of fighting in the Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo South Africa has lost 13 brave
14:14
soldiers who were dedicated to their mission and committed to peace the fighting is the result of an escalation
14:21
by the rebel group M23 and Rwanda Defense Force rdf militia engaging the
14:27
Armed Forces of the drcf a DC and attacking peacekeepers from the sadc
14:32
mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo SRC on behalf of the government and the

15:22
lives that were lost and pass our condolences to their families governments and citizens the situation
15:30
in GMA and S where our troops and their counterparts are stationed remains very

chief of the SF General Rani MAF and sidc Force
15:49
Commander Major General M Baku are working to ensure that the Sam idrc
15:55
forces remain well equipped and sufficiently supported during this critical Mission we are concerned about
16:01
the speculation about the Ste of our troops and the battle conditions all
16:06
South Africans must rally behind our brave men and women who have dedicated their lives to Bringing peace in our
16:13
continent South Africa's military presence in the Eastern DRC is not a
16:19
declaration of war against any country or state the members of the South
16:24
African National Defense Force that are in the DRC are part of both SA ADC and
16:29
United Nations efforts to bring peace and protect thousands of lives that are constantly threatened by the conflict in
16:36
the DRC the presence of the sidc forces demonstrates a commitment of
16:43
sadc member states to supporting the DRC in its efforts to achieve lasting peace
16:48
and stability and ultimately create an enabling environment for sustainable
16:53
development and prosperity we welcome the position that was recently adopted
16:59
by the United Nations security Council during its special sitting on the situation in the DRC which calls for an
17:05
immediate and to hostilities the reversal of territorial expansion by the M23 the exit of external forces from the
17:14
DRC and the resumption of peace talks under the Nairobi process the territorial Integrity of the DRC must be
17:22
respected in accordance with the United Nations Charter on the respect of sovereignty territorial integrity and
17:28
and political independence of other states we call on all parties to this
17:34
conflict to fully embrace the current diplomatic efforts that are Ed at finding a peaceful resolution including
17:40
honoring the Luanda process agreements we must silence the guns on our
17:45
continent for the attainment of inclusive development and prosperity I
17:51
thank you in quick response on Wednesday Rwanda president Paul kagame took to his
17:57
verified ex social media handle and confronted the South Africa president Siri Rosa in a statement stated below
18:04
doors I held two conversations this week with President Rama fosa on the situation in eastern DRC including
18:12
earlier today what has been said about these conversations in the media by
18:18
South African officials and president Rama fusa himself contains a lot of distortion deliberate attacks and even
18:25
lies if words can change so much from a conversation to a public statement it
18:31
says a lot about how these very important issues are being managed a few
18:37
important clarifications for the record one the Rwanda Defense Force is an army
18:43
not a militia two SRC is not a peacekeeping force and it
18:49
has no place in this situation it was authorized by sadc as a belligerent
18:55
Force engaging in offensive combat operations to help the DRC government fight against its own people working
19:02
alongside genocidal arm groups like ldlr which Target Rwanda while also threatening to take the war to Rwanda
19:09
itself three SRC displaced a true peacekeeping Force
19:15
the East African Community Regional force and this contributed to the failure of the negotiation processes
19:23
four president Rama fosa has never given a warning of any kind unless it was
19:29
delivered in his local language which I do not understand he did ask for support
19:35
to ensure the South African Force has adequate electricity food and water
19:40
which we shall help communicate five president Rosa confirmed to me that M23 did not kill
19:48
the soldiers from South Africa FDC did six if South Africa wants to contribute
19:55
to Peaceful solutions that is well and good but South Africa is in no position to
20:01
take on the role of a peacemaker or mediator and if South Africa prefers
20:07
confrontation Rwanda will deal with the matter in that context any day we had on
20:13
Wednesday reported that over 1,200 men of the Armed Forces of Democratic
20:18
Republic of Congo have seed or surrendered Guma the country's largest city to M23 Rebels with DRC military
20:26
uniforms flooding the streets after the P of the army attires and took Refuge at UN peacekeeping military base leaving
20:32
South Africa soldiers to continue to fight on but South Africa military form mission in Congo on Tuesday issued a
20:38
statement denying that its men did not surrender to M23 Rebels insisting that the White Flag hoisted by one of his
20:45
soldiers on Monday during heavy gun battle with the rebels was normal military tradition for both sides to CE
20:50
fire to enable the South Africa troops passage to receive medical supply and as well give room to the M23 Rebels the
20:57
opportunity to rescue their men injured in front of the South African military based near Guma airport this as
21:04
thousands of pro government protesters attacked and B some portions of us French Kenya Uganda Rwanda and other
21:12
foreign embassies in Kinshasa we had on Monday reported that thousands of
21:18
prisoners at Mente prison facility in gumma the capital city of North K
21:23
province in the Democratic Republic of Congo may have set themselves free after M23 Rebels took control of GMA early
21:30
morning on Monday with videos posted online showing civilians flooding back
21:36
to GMA and welcoming the M23 rebels in arousing manner earlier on Monday we
21:42
also reported that one of the most troubled countries in Africa Democratic
21:47
Republic of Congo government has bunt civilian residents in the country to flood streets today Monday the 27th of
21:54
January 2025 just as M23 Rebels are now in control of
21:59
after killing the conges military commander overnight South Africa soldiers a total of 12 un peacekeepers
22:06
forcing other conges soldiers to surrender their weapons before the 3:00 a.m. Monday 27 2025 deadline set we had
22:15
earlier in the month reported that M23 rebels in the Democratic Republic of
22:20
Congo early this year Advanced and since the town of maissi s perial the koles
22:25
government sent 172 death Ro prisoners to executioners with 102 already
22:30
confirmed executed while the government kept mom on the third batch of 70 prisoners including the in 19224 37 coup
22:38
plotters who were convicted and sentenced to death in September 2024 just as the country Minister of Justice
22:45
constant mut threaten journalists with death penalty a to relent the activities of armed group he described as Rwanda
22:52
Army and its M23 auxiliaries for the last two days on
22:58
Monday and today this morning I
23:04
spoke with the president of South Africa who sought me out to speak with me on
23:11
this matter because of their involvement in in eastern
23:19
Congo and he's also there pretending to be
23:25
playing a peacemaker role and he has a force that has been
23:32
sighting fighting alongside F Dera and has been fighting the
23:40
M23 on the instructions of because these are people who are not supposed to be in
23:50
Congo that these are from Randa or the M23 are nor Rand please
23:59
these are conges and one time he accepts it then another
24:05
time he says no part of it is yes and then the other part is from Rwanda and
24:12
these are he keeps on and how do we leaders of
24:17
our own countries accept this to go on forever and just accept that we shall be
24:24
manipulated by CH or whoever is supporting him
24:30
and South Africa there even issue threats about what is likely to happen
24:36
after that and so on and so forth of course we will see what threats
24:43
they are talking about maybe they should have
24:48
done that exactly for which they have been
24:53
issuing threats they should have done it to clean up the mess in eastern
25:00
Congo or to fight back those who have been trying to clean up the
25:08
mes so then you have the whole International Community just
25:15
confused they talked about Rwanda they talked about the Nairobi
25:21
process honestly even here maybe you will help me understand what all this
25:27
means the processes became an end in themselves and the people leading these
25:36
processes became more important than the results of the
25:41
processes the Nairobi process became a whole process then the Randa process it's like
25:48
you can't say anything that will displease president
25:54
Reno definitely this does not help deal
25:59
with such a serious matters as we are faced with
