Rwanda’s Paul Kagame Funding ADF Terrorists

_{For over 25 years, the Allied Democratic Forces ADF) terror group which fled away from Uganda has meted violence against the innocent civilians in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo hindered.}

_{Since the late 1990s, the ADF has operated in the DRC’s North Kivu province near the border with Uganda. While repeated military offensives against the ADF have severely affected it, the ADF has been able to regenerate because its recruitment and financial networks have remained intact.}

_{The ADF rebels have benefited from foreign funding and logistical support mainly the southern neighbours, Rwanda.} 

_{Rwanda has long been among the gravest contributors to instability in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo and Great Lakes region in particular.}

_{it is also not a secret that some ADF Chiefs including the former supreme leader Jamilu Mukulu and Musa Baluku had a safe house in Kigali where they would be housed whenever they would be in transit from DRC to Tanzania or whenever there were offensives by the DRC government offensives.}

_{Up to now, ADF maintains some Rwandan commanders among its top leadership like Richard Mugisha aka Richard Muzei who is also Jamil Mukulu’s stepson among others.}

_{Testimonies from those arrested during operations against the ADF terrorists in the East and others freed from their captivity point fingers at Rwanda being the chief funder of the terror group with the aim of causing insecurity in Uganda.}

_{Kagame also uses ADF fighters to fight a proxy war against Uganda with the aim of frustrating Uganda-DRC road projects from Bunagana to Goma and Mpondwe to Beni.}

_{Rwanda has also established another terror group to create another terror situation in Rutshuru to fight the Bunagana-Goma road project.}

 _{Rwanda does this as it launches offensives to lobby world bank to build a parallel road from Gisenyi to Kisangani in the DRC}

_{It should be remembered that the UN peacekeeping mission in the DRC at once met various groups of people from Kinshasha, Beni, Bunia, Goma and Butembo to whom they gave the truth about what was happening in Beni.}

_{The UN mission explained thus “We came to Congo at the invitation of the DRC government but we have been trapped, we know who killing people in Beni is, each time they kill, where they kill, and with whom they communicate with”.}

_{The officers added “We have far more information than you know and we will be able to bring them to justice if the opportunity arises”.}

_{“We have drones and satellite images; we know who is killing you, how they move, where they are positioned, and when they are killing”.}

_{Peacekeepers went on “To give you an idea of what is going on; ask yourself why FARDC officers with whom we defeated M23 were killed as soon as we reached Beni? Who and why was colonel Ndala killed?}

_{They explained “What is happening in Beni is a pure genocide. It is the work of the former government and its legacy in continuity and it is likely to get even worse. ADF exists but the international community should know that it is Kagame using its shadow to massacre the banande people”.}

_{The banande had persistently refused to team up with some antagonistic groups with selfish aims that were meant to create chaos in the Ruwenzori on both Uganda and DRC side.}

_{Beni harbors one of the special forces operations of FARDC commonly known as SOKOLA1 with up to 21000 operating alongside MONUSCO yet when a new operation is announced killings worsen, why?}  

_{Are Infiltrators In FARDC The Main Force Behind ADF?}

_{The DRC army is controlled by outside forces notably from Rwanda and leaking intelligence information. You see officers and soldiers arriving in Beni who hide their identities, operate and then disappear.}

_{The massacres are carried out near the perimeters of army camps of FARDC and MONUSCO and often preceded by suspicious movements day and night in covered vehicles and helicopters to unjustifiable destinations.}

_{Hon Alain Siwako a Congolese member of parliament once denounced such movements and the establishment of such camps in Ituri and Beni.}

_{These concealed movements were in Rutshuru on Vitsumbi route into the Semuliki valley via lake Edward later regrouping in Mwalika ,Mahigha in the cocoa growing areas.}

_{Another group set off from Rwanda to Masisi then Walikale and finally Lubutu on the road to Kisangani and south Lubero and associated with Guido Shimiray’s NDc-R a leader of militia for hire and pro Kagame with an objective of cutting off Goma-Butembo road so as to suffocate Beni and Butembo towns economically since all the roads from Uganda were under constant attacks.}

_{Other movements are in Beni to Kisangani via Mambasa with an aim of cutting off North Kivu from Kisangani and hampering supplies from Kinshasha.}

_{It is part of these secret operations that Congolese government helicopters were last year shot down in Niania and two others disappearing with no see.}

_{The presence of Rwandan army near Goma as denounced in reports by UN experts was aimed at securing these concealed movements of these unknown armed men to the territories of Lubero, Beni, and towards Kisangani axis.}

_{MONUSCO noted that “We provide food rations and fuel but we are surprised that some of these same rations are found in hands of the enemies.}

_{Who is providing our supplies from FARDC to the enemy forces? Why are the FARDC partners doing this?}

 _{“We have seen civilians and Tanzania peacekeepers killed by a force we considered friendly force. Malawi peacekeepers were also killed and some of our engineers killed”.}

_{“At some time, we were forced to shoot the perpetrators of the massacres to stop the killings but all of them were wearing FARDC uniform.}

_{“We are in partnership with FARDC on ground but we cannot tell the difference between FARDC, a friendly force and the assailants who massacre the population wearing the same uniform as FARDC in the same operational areas”.}

_{On December 23, 2020, the Group of Experts on the Democratic Republic of the Congo delivered its mid-term report and points the finger at the Rwandan Défense Forces (RDF) for their illegal presence on Congolese soil.}

_{It is very ironical and laughable that Kagame who is funding ADF a salafist jihadist group that is butchering Congolese is now claiming to be same man fighting the same terror group under the same Islamic State’s Central Africa Province in Mozambique.}
