DR Congo 🇨🇩: If you are curious about the identity of M23, why the US (through Erik Prince) is involved, how Tim Kennedy got shot in eastern DRC, and how Rwanda becomes entangled, watch this 👇🏽
Who is M23? The Rwanda-backed rebel movement now controls large parts of eastern Congo and was linked by Reuters sources to the September 17 ambush in South Kivu that wounded Tim Kennedy; Reuters reported he suffered three gunshot wounds to the leg.
Led militarily by Sultani Makenga and politically by Bertrand Bisimwa, M23 emerged in 2012 from former rebels integrated into Congo’s army after a failed 2009 peace settlement. Rooted largely in Congolese Tutsi grievances, it has evolved into an increasingly sophisticated insurgency challenging Kinshasa: controlling cities and mineral territory, collecting taxes, administering populations, and benefiting from extensive Rwandan military support.

Qui est le M23 ? Ce mouvement rebelle soutenu par le Rwanda contrôle aujourd’hui de vastes zones de l’est du Congo. Des sources citées par Reuters l’ont lié à l’embuscade du 17 septembre au Sud-Kivu, durant laquelle Tim Kennedy a été blessé de trois balles à la jambe.
Dirigé militairement par Sultani Makenga et politiquement par Bertrand Bisimwa, le M23 est né en 2012 d’anciens rebelles intégrés dans l’armée congolaise après l’échec d’un accord de paix. Issu principalement de revendications tutsies congolaises, il est devenu une insurrection sophistiquée capable de contrôler des villes, administrer des territoires, prélever des taxes et exploiter les ressources minières, avec un important soutien militaire rwandais.

What the F is wrong with some Rwandans still running to every muzungu with their hands out begging?
The “kwiha agaciro” the president keeps hammering into skulls still hasn’t broken through some of the thickest ones.
🇷🇼 Imagine a country written off as a failed state 30 years ago. Just out of genocide. No economy, no army, no gov, nothing.
Today 1 of the safest, most organized places in the world.
Kagame deserves his flowers 🌷 while he’s still here. Haters gonna hate. Results don’t lie.
WTF. What have we been bombing then? 🙈🫢

US politics are cyclical. People can spin the midterms however they want, but it almost always plays out the same: the sitting president loses the House and/or Senate. One side is always crying. That’s the beauty of our democracy. 😜🇺🇸
Democrats didn’t win, Trump lost…
BREAKING: Democrats have forcefully taken control of Congress, bolstered by a wave of voter dissatisfaction with Republicans and cost-of-living concerns.

President Kagame doesn’t just talk the talk—he walks the walk. He’s willing to take the heat for his people. Rwanda’s AGOA suspension happened back in 2018 during Trump’s first term, a price he was ready to pay for Rwanda’s sovereignty.
Everybody knows Trump doesn’t give a damn about the rule of law and that other bullshit you listed. Generally, empires rely on two things: power and control, and Trump craves both
