RDC: Congo East under Rwandan-Ugandan turbulence
It was thought that the Rwandan Democratic Liberation Foces (FDLR) has been repulsed by the Wetu Umoja (Unity) and Leo Amani (Peace) Operations, but vainly. They had resurfaced on the media scene and have been seen at the airport of Goma, not departing for Rwanda, their homeland, but in Katanga and Bas-Congo. Where do these FDLR come from? When asked, provincial and National executives say they have not been consulted on the relocation and the dissemination of the FDLR through the country. But it was said that the supervisor of the release would be a Protestant minister from Kinshasa, going by the name of Mulunda, the same one that toured the provinces to buy weapons from armed groups.
It is also noticed that a strong presence of the military police in the city of Goma is aiming to prevent a possible attack on the city by a new rebellion. Also, the security around the airport has been strengthened. It is no longer possible for anyone to get into the precincts of the airport. Members of the Republican Guard themselves provide security, a sign that something is happening or will happen in the Goma airport.
These military presence and activity fit well with the situation prevailing in the provinces of North Kivu, South Kivu, Maniema and Orientale.
