Dr. Congo’s M23 rebels vowed to overthrow the government of Félix TshiseKedi in Kinshasa

The military leader with warriors captured Goma, the largest city in the Democratic Republic of Eastern Congo, announced he would continue their attacks to Kinshasa.

Corneille Nangaa, head of an alliance of rebel groups including M23, said their ultimate goal was to overthrow the government of President Félix TshiseKedi.

Unexplained reports show that Rwanda rebels are currently moving towards Bukavu, the second largest city in the east of minerals, despite calling for a ceasefire.

In an address that was broadcast after the collapse, TshiseKedi said a “strong and coordinated reaction” is being conducted to retake the territory from rebels.

“Be sure of one thing: The Congo Democratic Republic will not let yourself be insulted or crush. We will fight and we will win, “he said on Wednesday night.

The war forced about 500,000 people from their home, worsening a very bad humanitarian crisis, according to the United Nations.

On Thursday, Nangaa introduced the rebels as Goma’s new administrator, telling the journalists that they were there to stay and would bring the services up and run again.

Since the escalating last week, the sources of electricity and water in the city have been cut off, and the food is scarce.

“We will continue the liberation march all the way to Kinshasa,” Nangaa added.

Analysts say that such an attack will not occur on a large scale of the country – Kinshasa that is 2,600km away (1,600 miles). However, that happened in 1997, when the forces supported by Rwanda overthrew the long -time leader Mobutu Seko.

Nangaa’s comments will increase the anger in Kinshasa, who accused neighboring neighbor Rwanda for rebels, and even his army in Goma.

Rwanda is also facing a chorus of international criticisms, despite the direct military assistance.

M23 – the main militant group in the Union – led by Tutsis of the nation, and said that they took the weapons to protect the minority group’s rights in Dr. Congo.

The president of Rwanda, Paul Kagame is also a Tutsi, and accused Dr. Congo’s government of Hutu militants, who involved in the 1994 genocide in Rwanda.

Both the United Nations and the South African Sadc region have peacekeepers in the East, but they failed to prevent rebel attacks.

Peacekeepers from some districts were killed in the conflict, with the South African army with the highest casualties – 13.

On Wednesday, Kagame said Rwanda was ready for a confrontation with South Africa if necessary, at the request of President Cyril Ramaphosa that M23 warriors and Rwandan forces were responsible for deaths.

In a strong statement about X, Kagame accused Ramaphosa distorting their private conversations.

“If South Africa wants to contribute to peaceful solutions, it is good and good, but South Africa is not able to take on the role of a mediator or mediator. And if South Africa likes to confront, Rwanda will solve the problem there is any day, “he said.

The exchange marked a significant escalation of tensions between the two countries, their relationship was very fragile for several years.

South African leaders will hold a summit on Friday, with Kagame saying that their regional forces are “not a peacekeeping force, and it has no place in this situation. “.

In contrast, TshiseKedi honored the SADC soldiers who were killed “beside us”, as well as the peacekeepers of the United Nations.

The United Nations, the European Union and countries including the United States and China all called on Rwandan forces to leave Dr. Congo.

The United Kingdom and Germany are one of the sponsors that threatened to withdraw their aid to Rwanda after the M23 attack.

British Foreign Minister David Lambmy said that on Wednesday that $ 32 million ($ 40 million) bilateral aid was threatened every year, while Germany canceled aid negotiations with the country.
