Title: Joint FARDC-UDPF operations in the DRC and Uganda: continuity in the hunt against ADF rebels
Introduction :
The Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (FARDC) and the Armed Forces of Uganda (UDPF) have concluded the third phase of evaluation of their joint operations in the provinces of North Kivu and Ituri. This collaboration aims to track down Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) rebels, responsible for numerous attacks in the region. Operations commanders have implemented new strategies to strengthen tracking and ensure the safety of affected populations.
Generals at the heart of operations:
Two Congolese generals, General Kasongo Maloba and Major General Nyembo Abdallah, as well as Ugandan General Dick Olom, were at the center of discussions aimed at ensuring the continuity of joint operations. These senior officers confirmed in a statement the continuation of efforts to neutralize the ADF rebels and put an end to their devastating activities.
Increase in attacks by ADF rebels:
ADF rebels have recently intensified their activities, causing the deaths of many people. Last week, fourteen people were killed in attacks attributed to the ADF in Beni territory. Clashes between joint FARDC-UDPF forces and rebels also resulted in the deaths of twelve people. Faced with this upsurge in violence, it is essential to strengthen joint operations to protect populations and put an end to insecurity in the region.
The importance of regional collaboration:
Joint operations between the FARDC and the UDPF demonstrate the importance of regional collaboration in the fight against armed groups. By joining forces, Congolese and Ugandan forces can share intelligence, coordinate their actions and increase their chances of success in tracking down ADF rebels. This cooperation also strengthens bilateral relations between the two countries and contributes to regional stability.
Conclusion :
The third phase of evaluation of joint operations between the FARDC and the UDPF marks an important step in the fight against ADF rebels in the DRC and Uganda. The generals involved confirmed the continuation of efforts to track down these armed groups and ensure the security of the populations. This regional collaboration demonstrates the importance of international cooperation in the fight against armed groups and the consolidation of regional stability. It is essential that these joint operations continue in order to put an end to the destructive activities of the ADF rebels and bring lasting peace to the region.
