On a Sunday afternoon in Goma, Bertrand Bisimwa, Vice Coordinator of the M23 movement, stood before the press with a resolute message: “We have problems that exist, and we will resolve them with or without Kinshasa.”
The words rang with defiance and determination. For years, M23 has called for dialogue with the Congolese government. They’ve pushed for peace agreements to be honored, for displaced communities to be returned home, and for justice in the face of targeted violence. But now, the movement says it has moved beyond waiting for Kinshasa’s cooperation.
Bisimwa made it clear that M23 no longer approaches the Kinshasa regime with a list of demands. Instead, the movement has shifted its strategy from dialogue to direct action. They identify themselves not as rebels, but as liberators defending Congolese Tutsi and other marginalized communities long forgotten by the warmonger Tshisekedi’s regime .
Since Kinshasa turned a deaf ear, M23 have taken matters into their own hands and the results, they say, speak for themselves:
Without the aproval of bunch of xenophones from Kinshasa Tutsi families can now sleep safely in their homes, free from the daily fear of violence and persecution,the FDLR accused of decades of killing, rape, and terror has been pushed back without approval from the criminal regime of Tshisekedi.
Without the aproval of bunch of xenophobes from Kinshasa, displaced Congolese Tutsis, once trapped in IDP camps or scattered across borders, have returned to their homes in peace.
Rwandans held hostage by the FDLR for over 30 years have finally made their way home without Kinshasa lifting a finger.
Without the aproval of bunch of xenophones from Kinshasa , M23, they have forced out SADC and white mercenaries and other military actors deployed by Kinshasa, despite the millions spent by President Tshisekedi to bolster their presence.
Bertrand Bisimwa also warned the remaining Burundian forces responsible for killing Banyamulenge civilians in Uvira will soon be removed by fire or by force, and this will not need Tshisekedi’s aproval.
