Museveni’s hostile media and paid mouthpiece are busy pushing their usual anti-Rwanda propaganda based on an elaborate hoax that Rwanda is helping the M23 militia to attack DR Congo.

One Charles Kambanda, a sex for grade academic fraud and known Museveni tool, propagates the ridiculous lie; M23 is an outfit controlled and equipped by Museveni.

In 2014, after their defeat, M23 moved to Uganda at Museveni’s request and lived in a facility protected by his Chieftaincy of Military Intelligence (CMI) at Bihanga Military Training School. They rested and reorganized under Museveni’s supervision and when they were ready, they crossed back into Congo in 2017 and began launching attacks.

Since 2014, while hosted by Museveni, his army categorically refused to surrender them to either the ICC or to the Congolese government. When news that the armed group’s leadership (including the top boss Sultani Makenga) with hundreds of their best fighters had simply walked out of the army camp and crossed into Congo, Museveni insisted that over 270 members of M23 were still hosted at Bahinga Military Training School. As pressured mounted, UPDF eventually admitted that Sultan Makenga and other senior M23 had “escaped” but entangled itself with claims that M23 were not actually under detention.

“Makenga was never in prison…But as regard to his movement, he was a free man,” Brig. Richard Karemire, the army spokesperson said back in 2017. Why would they claim to be arresting two M23 now? And what would they charge them with now, in 2021, that was not a crime in 2014?

It does not take a military genius to see that M23 hits in DR Congo and runs to Museveni to reorganize. Also, DR Congo authorities know who they have been asking to hand over M23 militias, and who set them free; it is Museveni. Parading fake soldiers, visibly tortured, does not change facts.

Kambanda and other paid mouthpiece pushing anti-Rwanda propaganda on the M23 issue only succeed in reminding the world that Museveni set them free to cause even more chaos.
