“The Congolese people and the international community are invited to take note, with the utmost attention, of the repeated violations of the ceasefire perpetrated by the Kinshasa regime, which gravely undermine the efforts at de-escalation and impose a dynamic of total war against the Alliance Fleuve Congo / Mouvement du 23 Mars (AFC/M23). The latter, for its part, remains resolutely committed to the strict observance of the ceasefire as well as the obligations arising from the Doha Agreement. The world is witness to this today” (Lawrence Kanyuka, 26.02.2026).
Today there are confirmed news about the demise of Gen. Sultani Makenga and his final time on earth. He was severely wounded by the drone attack on AFC/M23 which happened to kill Willy Ngoma too. The spokesperson was verified quickly after, which is ironic in the circumstances, as he was nicknamed “Quick Quick”.
Now there is sources and reports that Makenga died in the military hospital at Bombo in Uganda. Meaning he went and was transported from the Democratic Republic of Congo and gotten permission to be treated in Uganda. That’s telling…
The M23 shows who their allies are and who they are cooperating with. This should be recognized in Kinshasa. That’s why the leaders and propaganda peddling people are defending AFC/M23 are from Rwanda. The RDF and UPDF are clearly involved in the operations and the logistical affairs of the AFC/M23. That’s not shocking, because we have said so from the get-go. They are just showing it, again and again.
“The Kinshasa regime has crossed a threshold. It has trampled the ceasefire and with it, the fragile hope of a peace awaited by an entire people. It is no longer a matter of isolated incidents. It is no longer a matter of interpretive ambiguities. It is a matter of a succession of deliberate, repeated, methodical acts. Every offensive launched in violation of commitments made is a breach. Every strike moves further away the prospect of a political settlement. Every military advance cracks a little more the already fragile trust. The Doha Agreement was not a mere diplomatic text. It was a word given. A moral commitment. A promise made to the Congolese people and the international community. Today, that promise wavers under the weight of weapons” (Alliance Fleuve Congo (AFC), 26.02.2026).
These ones wants to claim they fight for the Congolese and Congo. Nevertheless, the moment things gets hot or there is pushback. They will return back to Kigali or Kampala. That’s where the logistical support and the militaries are behind it all. They act like we don’t know, but why did Sultani Makenga die in Uganda?
Please, why was it the Military Hospital of Bombo active and had space for him. He wasn’t a direct part of UPDF or the army itself. However, they could still be operational and had a bed for him for treatment of his wounds.
There will be more stories to tell, but certainly the AFC/M23 is feeling the heat. The offensive of the FARDC and allies are hurting it. They have already lost several key people and that shows. We don’t know how this will play out, but the next few days will show. They have tried to keep this murky too and kept uncertainty about Makenga. Now it is verified and been reported as true. So, Mukenga and Ngoma got assassinated at the same time. Peace.
