News from Eastern Congo confirms that Lt General John Tshibangu of the Congolese army (FARDC) has joined M23.
It should be noted that this is one of the most important leaders of FARDC, who was in charge of operations in the military of the Democratic Republic of the Congo FARDC.
The Rwandatribune source of information in Goma says that this General, who is very popular with the Congolese youth, arrived at Rumangabo and said: “I came to condemn the injustice done to the Congolese and the violence done by the evil regime in Kinshasa.
This information has not yet been confirmed by the Congolese government side. We wanted to know what the Congolese side says about it by calling Gen. Maj. Kasonga, the spokesperson of the FARDC, but he did not answer us.
On the side of M23, we called Lt.Col Willy Ngoma. We were unable to contact him on the phone until we were writing this story.
A few days ago, Lt. Gen Thibangu published a video in which he accused President Tshisekedi of sowing racial discrimination in the FARDC military, by promoting a lot of soldiers born in the Kasai region where the President was born.
