The FARDC-UPDF joint operations command recently made an important announcement: three people allied with the Ugandan rebels of the ADF have been arrested in the Graben region, not far from the Mwalika valley, in the Beni territory of North Kivu. This information was confirmed by Colonel Marcel Kalonji, assistant military administrator of Beni territory, although details of the identity of these individuals were not disclosed.
According to Colonel Kalonji, these ADF collaborators were apprehended with bladed weapons in their possession. ADF tracking operations are currently being intensified in the Mwalika Valley by the Congolese and Ugandan armed forces, working in collaboration.
Faced with this situation, Colonel Kalonji appeals to all ADF collaborators to dissociate themselves from these terrorists. He also points out that the security situation in much of Beni territory is relatively calm.
This arrest testifies to the continuous efforts of the Congolese and Ugandan armed forces to fight against the activities of the ADF rebels in the region. Cooperation between the two armies is essential to effectively combat this cross-border threat.
It is important to emphasize that the fight against armed groups and terrorism remains a major challenge in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The authorities continue to work tirelessly to ensure the safety of populations and restore peace in areas affected by conflict.
This arrest is therefore a step in the right direction to weaken the ADF rebels and guarantee the safety of civilians in the Beni region. However, it is essential to continue efforts and strengthen regional cooperation to eradicate this threat once and for all.
In conclusion, this arrest of three people allied with the ADF rebels in the Beni region demonstrates the continuous efforts of the Congolese and Ugandan armed forces to fight against terrorism and ensure the security of the populations. It is crucial to strengthen regional cooperation to put an end to the activities of armed groups that threaten the stability of the region
