For many years, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda have been facing the persistent threat of the ADF rebels, a terrorist group that sows terror and chaos in the Beni region. Faced with this threat, the coalition of the Armed Forces of the DRC and the Ugandan People’s Defense Force (FARDC-UPDF) launched a joint operation to neutralize the ADF elements and restore peace and security in the region.
Last Thursday, during combat patrols, the coalition forces achieved a major victory by neutralizing two ADF members and apprehending a pirogue used to supply the rebels. This success underlines the commitment of the armed forces to dismantle the ADF’s logistical and operational networks, in order to deprive them of the means necessary to carry out their terrorist actions.
Lieutenant Colonel Mak Hazukay, military spokesperson for the Sokola I/Grand Nord operational sector, stressed the importance of these results and reminded the population of the strict ban on venturing into the operational areas. This warning reflects the dangerous nature of the combat zones and aims to protect civilians from the clashes taking place in the region.
Military operations continue unabated, with the main objective of neutralizing ADF elements and restoring peace in the Beni region. The Congolese and Ugandan armed forces are working hand in hand to track down the rebels and put an end to their threat once and for all.
Since the launch of Operation Shujja in 2022, the Congolese and Ugandan armies have stepped up their efforts to eradicate the ADF presence in the region. The coalition’s recent successes demonstrate the effectiveness of this strategy and the armed forces’ determination to protect civilians from rebel abuses.
In conclusion, the fight against the ADF rebels remains a priority for the Congolese and Ugandan authorities, who are striving to restore peace and stability in the Beni region. The recent operations carried out by the FARDC-UPDF coalition are a significant step in the right direction and offer hope for a safer and more peaceful future for the people of the region.
