M23 rebels 'damage' SANDF's armoured personnel carrier

M23 rebel movement members in the DRC have reportedly damaged an SANDF armoured personnel carrier. Aviation journalist Dean Wingrin says the rebels appear to be more equipped and trained than before. He says the SA
army is finding it hard to deal with them.

You can't fight people who are fighting for their life...M23 are Congolese Rwandophones, their parents, wifes and children are in camps in UGANDA, Rwanda, Kenya.....Even in South Africa because of bad politics of segregation intensified by Tchisekedi regime

[@jux357]

people can’t seem to understand something as simple as this 🧐

[@indyamiriziyinetsi]

Your lies are no longer acceptable! The whole world already knows what's going on in the east of the DRC. The Congolese have welcomed you, educated you... But to thank them, you massacred their children, with the main aim of exterminating the real inhabitants of Kivu, then taking over their land and calling yourselves Congolese! Sooner or later you'll come to understand that a life of crime is no good, and that the path of illegality is not a profitable one. More than 10 million Congolese massacred by these demons disguised as humans, and to this number must be added several million Rwandan Hutus!

[@Chukweze]

You may need to know that M23 is a tool that was created by the regime in Rwanda way back before Tshishekedi came to power. Actually Congolese do not deny that Banyamulenge are citizens but they detest the continuous use of Banyamulenge by Rwanda to capture DRC. This was seen where the previous Army commander of the DRC was a Rwandan general. Congolese have just decided to confront the situation and live with their enemies as they come either in piece or in war. Many tribalists always cry that Congo is against Banyamulenge which is wrong. Banyamulenge want to rule Congo by hook or crook through the help of Rwanda but Congolese have decided to resist the unpatriotic act. This war is going to be endless because President Tshishekedi has refused and cancelled dubious mineral agreements both local and international that were made by the puppet Kabila regimes. That is why Cornell Nanga joined with M23 to fight against DRC because the president returned 9 mines from him to the state and seven from Malanga who recently came up with an amateurish coup and was unfortunately(for him) decimated. I believe this war will be a long one and lasting beyond Tshishekedi because Congo and her people seem to have woken up from their stupid slumber where anyone could either enter to dig minerals or arm-twist their government for dubious agreements that would not benefit Congo. Tshishekedi may live or die but his ideas will stay alive like those of Patrice Lumumba

To cut the long comment short he chased away General Kabarebe and all Rwandans and uganda soldiers in Zaire and it was made DRC.

He became gredy and kept silent and the leader like Bosco Ntanganda, Busanyamwisi,Japiel Bemba told him to sign the agreement with war Lords and fix all the soldiers in the government and work with the war lord leaders they signed apeace agreement in March 23 ,2010 .He failed to respect the agreement and congo is paying for its sins now.my brother war is bad no matter how strong you are war will weakn you and your resources

The big problem for DRC and its supporters is that they confuse Eastern DRC Rwandophones as Rwandese & hence M23 as RDF. I was recently surprised when i watched a video on KZbin shot from areas controlled by M23. Most of people there speak Kinyarwanda and were happy & felt more secured to be under their sons & daughters from M23. I am not sure how many troops from SADC need to be killed in the mysterious war there. These guys are highly trained and equipped. The whole thing needs a political settlement and only RDC can fix this problem among hundreds of others. If M23 was capable of destroying some military assets and capturing two others, i really wonder how many soldiers were killed or captured 🤔

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE WAR IN THE CONGO 🇨🇩 DRC: After migration of thousands of Africans ethnicity. In 14 to 15th centuries those Tutsi came from Ethiopia 🇪🇹 and Somalia 🇸🇴 then immigrated to Rwanda 🇷🇼 . That times they didn't have any land cause they were warriors marionettes utilized by the west during their wars. So at their local areas in Somalia and Ethiopia they got told to move away as they went to help white people in Europe 🇪🇺, then they came back in Africa and installed themselves in Rwanda then they spread later in Uganda , Tanzania , Kenya, Burundi, etc. No single one was in the Congo yet. Then they went to Rwanda and starting fighting local people there and change power all the times by war sometimes they were on power , sometimes local people. In 1950s , the lost war and power to local people so they fled to Congo in South Kivu , they name that place Mulenge. So that's why those ones in Congo are called Banyamulenge. Our former president decided to help them , which now is considered the biggest mistake our former President Mobutu did, he announced that every who was in the Congo 🇨🇩 DRC before the independence in 1960 became Congolese. So Banyamulenge became Congolese in that way as I have told you it was a biggest mistake every Congolese will tell you these. In 1994 , Tutsi and Hutu (local people) they started to kill each other, apparently they kill more Tutsi cause Hutu had more access to guns and matchetes those are history they teach every Congolese in school from primary to University. So Hutu lost the war because French lied to them to do cease fire and they tell those Hutu to go to Congo, the Congolese government accepted to welcome them, another big mistake because other neighbouring countries refused to welcome them genocidaire as neutral person as me, Hutu did bad by killing innocent babies we saw on the movies and history at school. In 1996, Rwanda government Tutsi and few Congolese politicians removed mobutu on power through war called AFDL liberation, every Congolese was happy cause Mobutu was a dictator and war there for 32 years. And the had of that Liberation movement AFDL became president of Zaire and change the name to colonial name Congo and post colonial name Congo before Mobutu. After Liberation in 1998, when the president of the country and of liberation told Rwanda government to go back to Rwanda they were angry and started a another war called RCD Goma. WARS IN MY DRC TILL NOW : as I said the biggest mistakes was to allow Tutsi Banyamulenge to be Congolese in 1970s , and to Welcome Hutu Génocidaire in the Congo as Refugees. Rwanda 🇷🇼 government through these wars used discriminatory allegations that Banyamulenge have been mistread in the Congo 🇨🇩, which is not true cause these people have been with US Congolese since before until wars and Genocide of Rwanda that's there are Hutu and Tutsi we used to know all are Rwandan our brothers and our sisters until their government brought these separation in Rwanda and in the Congo. Everytime Rwanda does wars in the Congo they came as to look for Hutu Génocidaires or they came to support Banyamulenge in the Congo 🇨🇩 so that they government can treat them well. First of all, we don't know who is Tutsi Munyamulenge and who is Tutsi Rwandan because they are all the same , speak same language, they all against Congolese governments all the times. Secondly, that confusion Rwandan government use it to infiltrate our government so that all the times when there's negotiations between Congolese government and rebellious Banyamulenge wars, they government of Rwanda will impose and infiltrate its military in our Government so they can have access to our government information and those Rwandais military need to be highly ranked as general ,major, colonels, and so on. In Conclusion, Rwanda government with its rebellious allied, and its genocidiary system comes in the Congo for several reasons: - Working for super power countries : USA, France, UK, Belgium, and European Unions so that they can give them Congo 🇨🇩 's natural resources for free or at cheaper cost. - Congo 🇨🇩 is so bigger and Richest country in the World when it comes to natural resources. -Divide Congo 🇨🇩 so that the poorest and smallest country , Rwanda can be bigger and Richer. - kill all Congolese if it's possible and take over - Send Rwandan citizens as Banyamulenge ("means Congolese Tutsi " apparently) send them as Congolese refugees in Australia, USA, UK, France, Belgium, Europe, North America, New Zealand, etc so that one day they can come and divide Congo or bring huge war in their favor in the Congo. They make sure once the Rwanda citizens arrive in the those developed countries they can do army so that they can go weaken the Congo. -Over half millions Rwandese have gone to those countries as Congolese when they are not even Congolese or Banyamulenge but Rwandais who speak Kinywarwanda or English. While languages spoke in the Congo 🇨🇩 are French as Official language, 4 nation languages: Kikongo, Kiswahili, Tshiluba, and Lingala. Plus , 450 plus dialects and every dialects correspond to language of each tribe. Such for your information there is no tribe in the Congo called Banyamulenge or Tutsi Congolese don't exist and will never exist. - Every Tutsi Rwandais want to be Congolese. - Gain more from war in the Congo by raping Congolese women cause most those soldiers or Rwanda origin have HIV aids. -Kill all Congolese if they can so Rwanda can take over. - Rwanda Government and its genocidiary system have killed over 20 million Congolese citizens since 1996 till present. - Rape all Congolese women : every 5 minutes these people have raped over 30 millions women, children and boys , men. - Causing Atrocities so that local Congolese people can leave their houses , lands so that Rwanda can take over. - Congolese Army cannot win any kind of wars against any rebellious group founded, supported and created by Rwanda because Congolese army is infiltrate by Rwandan soldiers imposed at so called negotiations which imposed by the west on profits of the west and Rwanda government. - Kill as many Congolese people as they can cause they West supports Rwanda government and make the media silent that's why there's a silent biggest genocide happening in the Congo 🇨🇩 cause Rwanda are killing us Congolese and the west and media are silent

[@splashafrica]

It was likely just a patrol caught up in an ambush 1 vehicle knocked out by artillery and 2 had to be abandoned due to mines the Wazelendo militia where active to render support along with other elements of the Congolese army it wasn't a simple attack they planned for confrontation

[@niyoncu]

​@@jeremiahimarwa4405😂😂😂😂 Do you have an army that can confront M23 rebels? How many rebels did you kill or capture? Can you show them? When you say the vehicles were retaken, retaken by who? M23 showed themselves driving them to their stronghold. South Africa army was qualitative army under Apartheid. But from 1994 up to now it is one the weakest armies. We know them in Burundi. Only good at raping minor girls and women. You are a rich country in Africa but it doesn't mean you have good Army. Thank God that you white citizens who brought some kind of Europe efficacy in country management

And guess what, no matter the battles m23 will always come back because this is a issue sadac won't solve but the Tutsi congolese and Congo government. And btw this is not 2013, m23 came back knowing what other forces can do and are this time very prepared. Why not show pictures of injured or killed m23 soldiers if sadac managed to???😂 m23 showed evidence of victory over sadc allover Twitter, why didn't sadc announce what you stating in your comment?
