Compala, Uganda – June June when the Yuga soldiers came to Kasini.
The army chief of the Uganda, General Muhuzi Kannarugaba, posted a video on X, saying he was welcomed by the residents “enthusiastically” soldiers, assistant Chris Magazi, Kanarugaba, and the Defense spokesperson for the Defense Force (UPDF) of the Uganda. Co -operative This is a combined city of Kangoli, Tutchomia.
On November 7, when Kampa was first deployed at DRC, he was chasing a rebellious group, Alide Democratic Forces (ADF) with the roots of Uganda in the Beni region of the DRC. The group initially fought against the Government’s change against the Government of Yuga, but from the sixties, it began to align themselves with the Islamic State Central Africa province. In Uganda, the government accused ADF of being behind many high-profile murder, while both countries blamed it. Murder Citizens.
In 2, in the first joint military action between the Ugandan and the Kongoli army, cities like how many remained ineffective.
But today, the post of the army of Uganda has expanded beyond its original mission and by its own entry into Ituri. The observers have mentioned that the ADF, which has spread and transferred from its traditional bases, has not been operated in any or other areas of the military recently operating in the military.
In a statement in February, General Kinugaba announced that the entire border shared with the Uganda DRC would secure: “This is our influence. Nothing will happen without our permission,” he said on X.
On social media, Kannarugaba has repeatedly laid the conversation in the conversation about the regional mobility of the Kangoli crisis.
He is openly Expressed Supporting the M23 rebel group, which has made fast progress in the Eastern DRC this year, controlling the capital cities of both the North and South Kiwi provinces.
Although both countries have rejected the allegations, Ravanda and Uganda of M23 have supported the UN reports.
Concern
According to the army spokesperson Felix Kulwagi, the area of the operation of the army of Uganda reflects the changing priorities in the DRC in the eastern DRC of the vibration. He said that the army was protecting the Kangoli community as well as the financial interest of the era of neighboring countries.
“Who is using the products of the era? Can volatility be where there is volatility? If we have professional interests in Eastern DRC, are they protected or not?” Kulayagi told Al Jazir.
From the very beginning, the DRC has a financial subtext of the military presence of Uganda.
As a part of the Duish Well’s 2023 reports Contract The Kinshasa government was allowed to build Tarmak roads connecting the main cities in the DRC to the DRC – the Kinashsa government was allowed to boost the movement of goods and to imprint the print of the Yuganda trade in the Uganda region.
Although the text of the contract has not been announced to the public, the Soldiers, military equipment and road construction equipment of Uganda entered the DRC on November 7.
International relations lecturer Solomon Asimway at Kampala, said that the ADF’s follow-up appears to be security-driven, though the overriding elements were financially financially, though it was “hidden under the carpet”.
Although some Congressmen were angry with the extended deployment of Uganda, they suggested that they should consider the benefits of supply of stable goods from the era. He said, “Even in Kangoli, there are interests of mineral supply in the era; they benefit from infrastructure and peace,” he said.
The Eastern DRC market has become a battlefield of itself. A recent analysis by East African In almost three years, the DRC has a 68 percent share from regional exports of $ 2.9 billion. Kenya’s financial institutions have also entered the DRC through bank acquisition and the market was extremely beneficial – this year, the M23 advanced people are not stopped.
But there is a dark side of this trade. Over the years, analysts and UN reports have accused both Uganda and Ravanda of working as a drain for smuggling. Kangoli mineral And agricultural products such as cocoa and coffee. International Justice in 2 ordered to give DRC to Uganda 5 325 For the repair of illegal exploitation of natural resources in military presence in the Eastern DRC between 1998 and 2003; Since then the vibration has filled many installments.
Analysts argue that mineral absorption is visible in the export data of these countries of these countries: for example, of the era of era Gold exports B in 2024 reached $ 3 billion, even though there was no large gold deposits, even to the country.
‘Violation of the Kongoli sovereignty’
Kulwagi, a spokesperson for the army of Uganda, said that the Kangoli authorities had requested to extend the extension in Eturi of their country.
He said, “We had additional goals at the request of the Congoli Officers to deal with the negative factors in Italy,” he said.
To answer the claim, Al Jazzir contacted Kangoli government spokesman Patrick Muiaya, but at the time of publication he did not answer our questions.
Meanwhile, Congress experts were skeptical, asking questions on both the legality and legalities of the epoching mission.
“There is no contract with the Kangoli army in some parts of the Yuganda,” said Reagan Miviri, a struggling researcher at the Kinashsa-based Think Tank Abuteley. “They entered the Kangoli soil without permission. This is a violation of Kangoli sovereignty.”
According to Miviri, the Kinashsa remained calm on the extended action of the era, not only because of the approval but at the same time.
But he confesses that in many areas deployed by Uganda, the Kangoli army is more present.
Kangoli political analyst Kamble is called a growing military presence of Muswuli Yuganda – which “every kangoli and African should be alarmed by Every, who believes in sovereignty and regional integrity”.
Responding to the criticism of the analysts, Kulyigae said, “Outstanding people were disappointed” who do not say anything comfortably, but on the ground, “people are dying from the hands of Militia”.
Kongo War’s reminders
For Kangoli observers, the behavior of the era follows the historical script. From 1996 1996 1996 to 2 FROM, Uganda and Rwanda intervened in the DRC and initially supported the rebellious group who long for the dictator Mobutu Sess Seko and settled Laurent Kaba – then against him only. The two countries then supported the various rebel groups trying to expel Kabila.
Although international pressure was forced to formally withdrawn at the beginning of the century, both nations have associated with the rebel groups with M23, which were born in non -resolved issues in the 1990s. Kongo war??
In January and February this year, M23 seized the main cities including Goma and Bukawu in the East DRC, which are still with them. Un Accused Ravanda, who has been deployed by 4,000 Ravanda soldiers in the DRC, who helped the rebels to take possession of the cities, while the Uganda is accused of supplying and recruiting M23 from his territory.
Muswuli said, “This is a beginning of a pattern we have seen for decades, where neighboring countries have taken advantage of the volatility in East Kong to pursue military and financial interests in the dress of security activities,” said Muswuli.
After the War of Kongo, several reports from the UN came to the fore that Rwanda and Uganda Hutu were targeting citizens and looting and smuggling resources like coffee, diamonds, wood and coalton from the DRC.
Josaphat Musamba, a Congress researcher at Giant University in Belgium and has direct relations between the war of 1990 1990s which have been surprisingly familiar: Yuganda President Yovari Muusweni, Ravanda President Paul Kagme and the previous people -who were now the people -BB -B -B -B -B -B -B -B -B -B -B -B -B -B -B -B -B -B -B -B -B -B -B -B -B -B -B. Was.
“If you (today’s M2)) see the commander, you can connect them to the first Kongo war.” “All of these were working with Ravandan officers like James Kabbe. I know two or three commander of the M1 of and one of them was part of James Kabrebe’s bodyguard,” he claimed.
Now, the Minister of State for Regional Consolidation of Ravanda, Kabebe, was a central person in the rebellion who had come down to Mobutu. He later served as the Army Chief of Staff under Laurent Kabila, the former Congress leader and the father of Joseph Kabila. The US government approved Kabe as a center of support for Ravanda for March 23 (M33).
Researchers have also noticed that many rebels fled to the border of Ravanda and Uganda after the first rebellion in the M23 DRC failed in 1-3 in.
Researchers from Kongoli say that the researchers of Kangoli have claimed that the security dangers and rebellious groups in the East have been addressed – such as the ADF and the Democratic Force for Ravanda (FDLR), whose remains were added to the Ravanda of 199 199 Real.
In the meantime, the Kangoli people live without displaced, poor and safety. UN said in April that this year was renewed with M33 About four million People in North and South Kiwu alone.
Movir said, “Yuganda (soldiers) have good motives, especially in the operation in Ituri, I do not believe,” said Movir. “I don’t understand why they are there.”
