DRC: Arrest of the Enyele rebel leader
By African Bulletin on July 6, 2010
The political, spiritual and military leader of the Liberation Movement of independent Allies (MLIA), launched since late October 2009, at Dongo in the northern province of Equateur, Ibrahim Mangbama Mambenga , was captured, while attempting to cross the Ubangi River to get to Congo Brazzaville, by elements of the DRC Armed Forces.
He was transferred to Kinshasa and presented to both national and international press, in the presence of the Congolese Minister of Defense, Charles Mwando Simba, and Lieutenant-General Didier Etumba, Chief of Staff of the Congolese armed Forces.
The Enyele insurgents had launched an uprising in the sector of Dongo, by attacking in particular the civil populations using fire arms, elements of the National police force and all the State symbols.
They burned whole villages, forcibly recruited minors, held hostages, boarded boats and used people as human shields when they swarmed in Mbandaka, April 4, 2010.
Mangbama Mambenga will be introduced, in few days, to the military jurisdiction to answer of his acts.
