The Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (FARDC) and their allies launched violent attacks on several heavily populated areas under the control of the M23 Movement on Tuesday.
This was confirmed by the spokesperson for M23, Laurence Kanyuka, in a statement posted on X (formerly Twitter), highlighting that the attacks led to the loss of innocent civilian lives.
He stated, “On Tuesday, September 17, 2024, at around 12:30 a.m., violent attacks by the joint forces of the Kinshasa government targeted densely populated areas in Lukopfu, Gisuma, Bufaransa, and Zunguruka.”
He added, “These attacks resulted in the tragic loss of many lives and displaced numerous of our fellow citizens, spreading fear and despair.”
Kanyuka emphasized that M23 continues to defend itself and protect the local population amidst these attacks.
These developments occur as the Congolese army, FARDC, boasts about having recaptured several territories in the Rutshuru region from the M23 Movement.
