Daniel Michombero reported that the FARDC, supported by the Wazalendo, had regained control of the village of Muhungu in the high plateaus of the Itara-Luvungi grouping, Walungu territory, South Kivu, after clashes with the FRN-M23-RDF coalition. Citing a military source, he indicated that the rebels had attacked army positions at Kadeze in an attempt to advance and secure the passage of reinforcements to Kaziba. An officer deployed at the front reportedly told him that the army had retaliated before regaining Muhungu. Michombero also reported that a resident, contacted by phone in the morning, expressed relief at seeing the FARDC and the Wazalendo of the self-proclaimed patriot General Bikotwa in the village. The resident said he hoped for the liberation of other occupied areas and accused the Rwandan army of treating the inhabitants like slaves. According to information relayed by Michombero, fighting had resumed early in the morning on several fronts in South Kivu. He added that Munanira and Bideka, reported the day before as occupied by the FRN-M23-RDF coalition, remained under the control of the Congolese army. #RDC #SudKivu #FARDC (translated)

Dr. Laetitia Muadi called for the public silence of the United States, African countries, and the international community following Joseph Kabila's latest statement not to be interpreted as a abandonment of the DRC. She believed that Congolese sovereignty and a possible strategy by the authorities could explain the lack of public statements, and warned against hasty conclusions. Muadi recalled that, in her view, the United States imposed sanctions on Kabila on April 30, 2026, accusing him of supporting the AFC/M23 and contributing to the destabilization of the DRC. She indicated that these measures included freezing assets under U.S. jurisdiction and restrictions on transactions concerning him. She also referred to UN Security Council resolutions 2773 and 2808, which she presented as reaffirming the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the DRC. She described the situation of a former head of state accused of supporting an armed rebellion as serious, while clarifying that the accusations must be substantiated. Muadi called for support for the FARDC and for an effective military and diplomatic strategy to be combined with vigilance, information verification, and national unity. #RDC #Souveraineté #Diplomatie (translated)
