MONUSCO and Tanzanian Blue Helmets in DRC

The AFC-M23 needs to hear this loud: MONUSCO is dangerous, and not in some abstract way. The claim here is that TSHISEKEDI has the mission doing his bidding, and that it should be stopped before it plants itself back in BUKAVU. Look at who's inside it. A large number of Tanzanian Blue Helmets are part of the force, and Tanzania has officially reconfirmed a military alliance with Félix Tshisekedi tied to the war being prepared around Uvira. So the idea that this thing is neutral falls apart fast. People thought Bintou Keita's MONUSCO would shift its posture once JAMS SWAN arrived. That expectation didn't hold. The force had already walked out of South Kivu on its own on June 26, 2024, and letting it return would be a mistake. What is it actually for? Not peace. It functions as a support office for Félix Tshisekedi on the political, diplomatic, and security fronts, which is a different job entirely. An entity like that, unfit for peace and wrapped up in violence, is not something anyone should trust. The AFC-M23 should treat it as criminally dangerous and stay alert.
