Uganda and Campara -Rwanda's supported M23 rebels dominated the largest city of Higashi Congo this week, and the man who appeared from the shadow to claim his leader was not the long -term military leader of the group.
Sultani McGenga, the leader of the ethnic Tutchi rebels approved by both the United States and the United Nations, is not found anywhere because the Corneille Nanga, a military fatigue, was guided to the Serena Hotel in Goma. It was. The analyst, not a tsuchi, says that it brought a more diverse Congo's face to the group.
This sight captures the evolution of M23, from ethnic tsuchi to those who are more than 10 years ago, from dominant clothes to those that are now actively seen as the Japan Nationalist Group. It was important. According to the Observer and Analysts in the Great Lake area of Africa, it is a fact, despite the military support from nearby Rwanda.
From election chief to rebel leader
Nanga is the former director of the Congo election institution, which supervised the 2018 presidential election gained by President Felix Ziskedy. He has been controversial in the politics of Congo for many years. As a chairman of the Election Committee, he supervised a very criticized voting, selecting TSHISEKEDI, and led the United States to sanction the United States in 2019 to impair the Democracy of Congo.
Nanga was sent to Kenya's exile by breaking away with the Congo authorities, including disputes over mining. In 2023, he joined the Congo River Alliance. It was joined to the Congo River Alliance. It was joined to the Congo River Alliance. The Congo River Alliance has joined the political military union, including 17 political parties and rebels.
According to Christian Moreka, a political scientist in Congo's think tank datol, his dissatisfaction has also refused to defend Nanga from its sanctions list. It is thought to be there. “His recognition that he was abused by the authorities was because he driven him into radicalization,” said Moreka.
Unlimited marriage
Last year, Makenga's M23 joined Nanga's Congoliver Alliance, steering the renewed costumes with Nanga, and the analysts say that the M23 looked even more powerful to the Congo authorities.

Angelo Izama, an analyst of Uganda -based Fanaka Kwawat Think Tank, is now more threatened by the group's evidence of Rwanda's support, “trying to separate the problem of self -determination in the eastern part of Congo.” He says that he is being done.
The anti -government forces caused a nationwide discussion on the widespread emotions of negligence in the eastern part of the Congo, and said, “The Congo state can forcibly deal with real autonomy issues and forced some negotiations. He gains as many territory as possible. ” 。
Forcing political negotiations is a “wise movement” for the anti -government forces, “the only way from this crisis.”
Forced the local tie -up of M23 Congo
Unlike 2012, when the M23 won the GOMA in a campaign led by a fighter that lectures Kinyarwanda, CRISIS, which is mainly demanding a complete integration of the Congo Army. The GROUP think tank is an evaluation that talked about recent M23.

Nanga's Congoliver Alliance is M23's “political umbrella”, and the think tank is “attractive not only to the eastern part (Congo) armed group, but also to weaken TSHISEKEDI. He said he had accumulated a “partner”. “
“This is based on a strategy that can be denied but powerful to create a strategy of a strong but powerful Congo, to make the most of Kinshasa and to at least confirm the domination of Northern Kib (state),” said a strategy that could be denied but powerful. ” I said.
UN experts argue that about 4,000 Rwanda units in the North Kib will return to the M23 rebel. In order to bring strategic sesame near the border of Rwanda, the anti -government for a long time has been supported by the United Nations in Europe, the local peace maintenance forces and the Mercc soldiers. Defeated the Congo government army.
M23 was once defeated, but was reorganized after the failed amnesty.
According to the UN estimation, the M23 has about 6,500 fighters. In 2012, as a rebellion group led by the Congo ethnic tsuchis that the 2009 agreement was signed to take care of their profits, such as integrating the Army and returning refugees from other places in East Africa. Appeared.
The M23, led by the Congo Tsuchi tribe, Mc Kenga, stealed sesame in November 2012 and was pulled out a few days later under international pressure. They were later repelled by the UN forces fighting with the Congo government forced in a military campaign, forced hundreds of people to escape to Rwanda and Uganda. Makenga was a self -appointed general who was often seen in the bushes, and was among those who fled to Uganda.
In December 2013, the M23 signed the agreement between the Congo government and the Congo government, which sought to repatriate the country within one year, as hundreds of anti -government forces were canton in the western part of Uganda. did. It is difficult for the government of the Congo to achieve a dispute over the demand for anti -government forces while the commander of the Congo has tried to suspect crimes against civilians. It turned out.
In 2016, hundreds of M23 anti -government forces escaped custody in Uganda, and was airlilled by the Congo. The rebel forces re -emened in 2021, becoming the most powerful among more than 100 martial arts groups, and dominating mineral -rich territory. The U.S. Ministry of Commerce estimates that mineral sediments are worth $ 24 trillion, most of which are important for global technology.
A politically motivated new face
Unlike 2012, the M23's face of Nanga's sales point is that he is not Tsuuchi, but he is from Howele. ” The M23 has always been considered an armed group supported by Rwanda, who defends the minority, “said Morica.
The African Strategic Research Center, based in Washington, quoted the M23's “Changing Political Calculation by Sponsor” in an analysis released on Wednesday. According to the evaluation of Paul Nanturya, a group of Uganda's analysts, local supporters have potentially expanding potential and potentially expanding, which retain territorial control and expand have.
At an M23 press conference held in Sesame on Thursday, Nanga stated that Nanga aims to establish a new government in 2 million cities where hundreds of thousands of refugees are currently living. 。 The rebels talked to reporters about the plan to return the evacuees to their homes, and presented a great challenge to TSHISEKEDI.
“We are in sesame to stay like a Konge,” Nanga said. “We will continue to march to release to Kinshasa.”
