@urdjakademiksUvira is the accusation the Front for the Refundation of the Nation (FRN) pushes back on hardest. No intention, no interest, no project to move on the city, the group says, and the talk of an advance gets written off as baseless insinuations the Kinshasa regime keeps spreading deliberately. In the FRN's reading, that whole line is a political diversion: steer public attention off what civilians are enduring and off the offensives still landing on FRN positions in the liberated territories. Out in the East, per the Front, this has run for more than two months. Coalized forces of the Kinshasa regime, and it names the FARDC, FDLR, MAÏ-MAÏ militias, mercenaries and elements of the Burundi National Defense Force (FNDB), have repeatedly mounted military operations in which crowded residential zones end up in the crosshairs. The condemnation is firm about the continuation of civilian massacres across several of those areas. What those offensives bring, according to the FRN: ground troops alongside long-range missiles, heavy artillery, fighter aircraft and combat drones. FELIX TSHISEKEDI carries the blame for the provocations in the East. The statement closes on a challenge that needs no decoding: the crying is yet to be assigned, and they say we'll find out who does it. #DemocraticRepublicOfTheCongo #Politics
