DR Congo’s friendly against Chile is set for Malaga after a Spanish mayor blocked the original venue over health concerns. DR Congo’s final World Cup warm-up against Chile is set to go ahead in Malaga on Tuesday, June 9, after the fixture was moved from its original venue in Spain following local health concerns. The match had initially been scheduled in La Línea de la Concepción, near Gibraltar, before mayor Juan Franco issued a decree blocking the game. The decision followed health guidance linked to concerns over the Ebola outbreak in DR Congo, a development also reported earlier. Despite the disruption, Congolese officials have sought to reassure supporters that health measures are in place for the delegation. The Leopards arrived in Malaga on Thursday, June 4, with the match now expected to be played behind closed doors. The Chile fixture is an important final test for DR Congo as the team continues its World Cup preparations. Earlier reporting by Radio Okapi had listed Chile as one of two key friendly opponents for the Leopards ahead of the tournament.

Patrick Muyaya accuses Joseph Kabila of helping disguise Rwanda's alleged aggression in eastern DRC through the new FRN coalition linked to AFC/M23 DR Congo government spokesperson Patrick Muyaya accuses former President Joseph Kabila of choosing armed rebellion over democratic politics, arguing that the new FRN coalition is a rebranded continuation of AFC/M23 rather than a genuine break from the conflict in eastern Congo. KINSHASA, — October 18, 2026 — Democratic Republic of Congo government spokesperson Patrick Muyaya has sharply criticized former President Joseph Kabila’s leadership of a new political-military coalition, accusing him of aligning himself with what Kinshasa considers a Rwandan-backed rebellion and seeking political power through force. In remarks delivered in French , Muyaya said Kabila’s decision to publicly lead the Front for the Refoundation of the Nation (FRN) amounted to an attack on Congo’s constitutional order and on the right of Congolese citizens to choose their leaders through elections. The government spokesperson portrayed the new coalition as a change of name rather than a change in purpose. He also said Kinshasa would continue pursuing peace through the Washington and Doha processes while maintaining its military readiness. Muyaya Accuses Kabila of Choosing Arms Over Elections Muyaya argued that a former head of state should not seek a return to political influence by joining a movement that includes armed groups fighting the Congolese government. He said the decision to take up arms carried consequences for civilians already affected by violence, displacement and insecurity in eastern DRC. In his account, any attempt to capture territory by force risked producing more deaths and humanitarian suffering. “The choice to take up arms means that Congolese people will be killed in an attempt to conquer territory,” Muyaya said, according to an English translation of his French remarks. He insisted that political authority must come from the Congolese electorate, not armed action. He also challenged political figures who had called for Kabila’s participation in national dialogue to explain whether they still supported that position following his association with the new coalition. These are accusations and political judgments made by Muyaya; they do not, by themselves, establish Kabila’s individual responsibility for specific attacks or civilian deaths.

KINSHASA, — October 18, 2026 — Democratic Republic of Congo government spokesperson Patrick Muyaya has sharply criticized former President Joseph Kabila’s leadership of a new political-military coalition, accusing him of aligning himself with what Kinshasa considers a Rwandan-backed rebellion and seeking political power through force. In remarks delivered in French , Muyaya said Kabila’s decision to publicly lead the Front for the Refoundation of the Nation (FRN) amounted to an attack on Congo’s constitutional order and on the right of Congolese citizens to choose their leaders through elections.

In his account, any attempt to capture territory by force risked producing more deaths and humanitarian suffering. “The choice to take up arms means that Congolese people will be killed in an attempt to conquer territory,” Muyaya said, according to an English translation of his French remarks. He insisted that political authority must come from the Congolese electorate, not armed action. He also challenged political figures who had called for Kabila’s participation in national dialogue to explain whether they still supported that position following his association with the new coalition. ADVERTISEMENT These are accusations and political judgments made by Muyaya; they do not, by themselves, establish Kabila’s individual responsibility for specific attacks or civilian deaths. FRN Replaces AFC as Kabila Takes the Lead The FRN was announced in Goma on October 12, 2026, bringing Kabila into the leadership of a political-military structure linked to the former Alliance Fleuve Congo (AFC) and M23 rebellion. Reporting by Radio Okapi and Africanews identified Corneille Nangaa and Bertrand Bisimwa among the figures retaining senior roles in the new organization. Muyaya said this continuity was central to the government’s position. He argued that the people involved, the movement’s armed character and its methods had not fundamentally changed, despite the adoption of a new name and the elevation of a former president. He further alleged that Kabila had been involved in the AFC project before publicly assuming a leadership role. That assertion was made by Muyaya and was not independently established by the remarks themselves. The FRN has presented itself as a movement opposed to President Félix Tshisekedi’s government. Its representatives have accused the authorities in Kinshasa of misrule and have defended resistance to the current administration, including the possibility of force. Kabila has previously rejected accusations linking him to wrongdoing and described legal proceedings against him as politically motivated. Rwanda Accusations and the Question of Accountability Muyaya went further, describing the new alliance as a proxy armed movement serving Rwanda’s interests. He accused Kabila of helping make what Kinshasa regards as Rwandan involvement in the Congolese conflict appear to be a purely domestic political confrontation. He also alleged that the reorganization could reduce international pressure on President Paul Kagame by shifting attention toward Congolese political rivalries. ADVERTISEMENT Rwanda has repeatedly denied supporting M23, while United Nations experts and other international actors have documented or alleged Rwandan military support for the movement. The distinction matters: evidence concerning Rwanda’s support for M23 does not automatically prove every allegation Muyaya made about Kabila’s intentions or personal responsibility. Muyaya referred to deaths in Goma, sexual violence, the displacement of families and the interruption of children’s schooling as reasons to reject further armed escalation. He invoked a figure of 10,000 deaths in Goma, but the supplied remarks did not identify a source, period or methodology for that number; it is therefore presented here as his claim rather than an independently verified toll. Washington and Doha Remain Central to Kinshasa’s Approach Despite his criticism of Kabila, Muyaya said the government remained committed to existing diplomatic initiatives. He cited United Nations Security Council Resolution 2773, the Washington process involving Rwanda and the Doha negotiations addressing the AFC/M23 conflict as frameworks for resolving the security crisis. In his description, the Washington track addresses the interstate dimension of the conflict, while the Doha talks address armed actors and commitments related to a ceasefire and broader settlement. Muyaya said the emergence of the FRN did not change Kinshasa’s intention to pursue these channels. The new coalition has said it will assume the previous AFC structure’s commitments under the Doha process, a position reported by Al Jazeera . Whether that undertaking translates into progress toward a durable ceasefire remains uncertain. Muyaya also said Congo’s armed forces must remain on alert and prepared to respond when necessary. He characterized military readiness as normal for a country facing an ongoing armed conflict, even while diplomatic talks continue.

ADVERTISEMENT National Dialogue and Political Parties Under Scrutiny The spokesperson drew a line between peaceful political opposition and groups seeking power through armed force. He said those advocating for Kabila’s inclusion in political dialogue, including figures associated with the C64, should clarify their position now that the former president has taken a leading role in the FRN. Muyaya also defended the interior minister’s authority to suspend political parties whose leaders, in the government’s view, had abandoned democratic competition in favor of armed action. His remarks linked this argument to Kabila’s political camp and the People's Party for Reconstruction and Democracy (PPRD). Such measures raise separate legal and political questions, including the rights of party members who do not support armed activity. The spokesperson’s remarks set out the government’s justification, not an independent legal determination about every affected party or individual. Muyaya maintained that a national dialogue should bring together Congolese committed to peace, constitutional institutions and national cohesion. He referred to discussions involving religious organizations and said the country needed stronger security institutions capable of protecting both civilians and territorial integrity. A New Name, but an Unresolved Conflict The confrontation places a former Congolese president at the head of a coalition that includes figures from a rebellion already central to the war in eastern DRC. For Muyaya, the FRN announcement is evidence of continuity rather than transformation. He argues that Kabila’s leadership does not change the government’s assessment of the armed movement or remove the need for accountability over abuses committed during the conflict.

Monthly declarations were not submitted. The employer’s UIF reference details are incorrect. The reason for termination does not match the employee’s application. Workers should ask the former employer to confirm that all declarations and termination details were submitted correctly. Where the employer refuses to cooperate or no longer exists, the claimant should contact the UIF or visit a labour centre for guidance. What About Claims Submitted Before the Change? The Department of Employment and Labour says applications submitted through the old employee portal were stored and were not lost. Those applications are being verified and migrated to the new platform. Applicants with an older claim should: Keep the original reference number. Check UIF Online for available status information. Avoid creating a duplicate application without instruction. Contact the UIF when the earlier claim cannot be found. Retain proof of the original submission and uploaded documents. Can Applicants Still Visit a Labour Centre? Applicants who cannot use the online service should contact the UIF or visit an official labour centre for assistance. Take identity documents, employer information, bank details and any benefit-specific supporting documents. Use the Department of Employment and Labour’s official contact and office information. Do not hand documents to an unofficial “agent” outside a labour centre. Is There an Application Fee? No. UIF Online and uFiling are official free services. XTRAfrica verification warning: Never pay anyone to submit, approve or accelerate a UIF claim. No person can guarantee approval or payment in exchange for money.

In a dramatic turn of events, soldiers from the Democratic Republic of Congo's 223rd Battalion were dispatched to the verdant hills near Lake Kivu to thwart a rebel advance threatening Goma. This city, the largest in the mineral-rich east, houses 2 million people. However, last December, as the M23 movement advanced, the battalion's commander fabricated a medical note to return to Goma. In his absence, his troops deserted without a fight, according to military prosecutors at his court martial. In May, eight officers were sentenced to death for cowardice and other crimes, highlighting the disarray within Congo's armed forces as they struggle against a two-year uprising in the eastern borderlands with Rwanda. The officers are appealing their convictions. The conflict in North Kivu province has displaced over 1.7 million people, pushing Congo's total displaced population to a record 7.2 million, according to U.N. estimates. President Felix Tshisekedi accuses Rwanda of backing M23, a group formed to defend the interests of Congolese Tutsis. He has threatened war against Rwanda, raising fears of a broader conflict in Africa's Great Lakes region, reminiscent of the wars between 1996 and 2003 that claimed millions of lives. A U.N. Security Council-appointed group of experts claims to have "solid evidence" of Rwandan soldiers fighting alongside the rebels, supported by drone footage and photographs. Rwanda has deployed over 3,000 troops in North Kivu, surpassing M23's own fighters, according to U.N. sources. This support has been crucial to the rebels' rapid gains. Reuters spoke to senior members of Congo's armed forces and Western diplomats, who pointed to internal mismanagement, inexperienced troops, and over-reliance on proxy forces as major factors in M23's successes. Despite increased defense spending and support from regional allies, Congo's military remains plagued by internal divisions, inadequate resources, poor logistics, and widespread corruption. Colonel deployed against M23, who was not authorized to speak to journalists, lamented the lack of clear command and field presence of leaders. The Congolese government and army did not respond to requests for comment. Army spokesperson Sylvain Ekenge attributed the difficulties to Rwanda's direct involvement but mentioned ongoing military reforms, including the recruitment of 41,000 soldiers and new weapons acquisitions. Rwanda has consistently denied supporting M23, with government spokesperson Yolande Makolo stating that the DRC has the power to deescalate the situation but has chosen not to. Rwanda accuses Congo of collaborating with the Hutu rebel group FDLR, which has targeted Tutsis in both countries. Despite Congo's military's November statement to arrest any soldiers cooperating with FDLR, some collaboration persists, according to U.N. sources and a Congolese officer. Both M23 and FDLR deny collaborating with either government. M23 spokesperson Willy Ngoma noted that some rebels speak Kinyarwanda, Rwanda's main language, leading to mistaken identities. FDLR spokesperson Cure Ngoma accused Rwanda and M23 of using accusations of collaboration as a pretext for invasion, asserting that both sides are merely defending themselves.

France’s dismissal of Agathe Kanziga’s case exposes Kagame’s selective justice and propaganda, not Paris’s empathy for genocidaires. When French judges dismissed the case against Agathe Kanziga Habyarimana, widow of former Rwandan president Juvénal Habyarimana, Kigali’s propaganda machine jumped into overdrive. Headlines screamed: “If she were a Nazi, would France dismiss her case?” The Kagame regime and its supporters want the world to believe France shields “genocidaires.” 📌 Quick Facts: Agathe Habyarimana Case But the truth is far more complex. This case reveals not France’s “empathy” for killers, but Paris’s reluctance to hand over justice to a regime that has turned genocide memory into a political weapon. The Flawed Nazi Analogy Kigali compares Agathe Kanziga to Nazi mastermind Heinrich Himmler. The problem? Nuremberg trials were independent international tribunals, not staged courts run by the victors. In Rwanda, justice is monopolized by Kagame’s Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF), the same group implicated in atrocities that remain unpunished. Labeling Kanziga “Himmler” serves one purpose: to distract from Kagame’s own role in April 1994. Multiple investigations, including French and Spanish judges, have pointed to the RPF as responsible for shooting down Habyarimana’s plane, the very act that ignited the massacres. France has, in fact, tried and convicted several Rwandans accused of genocide crimes. But extraditing Agathe Kanziga to Kigali would mean handing her over to a system where trials are political theatre. Kagame’s government routinely fabricates charges and brands critics as “gen ocide deniers” or “ideologues.” This isn’t about shielding suspects. It’s about refusing to be complicit in Kagame’s abuse of “genocide justice” for political ends. The Forgotten Victims While Kigali demands action on Kanziga, it silences any probe into RPF war crimes. The UN Mapping Report (2010) documented mass killings of Hutu refugees in Congo—crimes that may qualify as genocide. Yet no RPF commander has ever faced trial.

ADVERTISEMENT Why is justice only one-sided? Why are Hutu victims erased from the narrative? If France is guilty of “empathy for genocidaires,” then Kagame is guilty of empathy for his own unpunished generals. By dismissing the case, French judges are not saying Kanziga is innocent. They are saying Rwanda’s evidence is insufficient, inconsistent, or politically tainted. That caution reflects an uncomfortable reality: the Kagame regime’s record of witness intimidation, staged dossiers, and political prosecutions. France may carry historical responsibility for its role in Rwanda, but it refuses to be turned into an extension of Kagame’s propaganda machine. True justice means accountability for all sides. It means survivors of Tutsi massacres and survivors of RPF massacres in Congo both deserve their day in court. It means moving beyond Rwanda’s “official story,” where one group’s pain is weaponized to silence the suffering of another. Trending Now Uganda HIV Self-Test Assembly: Prices, Jobs and Exports .

ADVERTISEMENT Until Kagame allows open, impartial investigations into his own crimes, calls for France to hand over suspects ring hollow. The dismissal of Agathe Kanziga’s case is not proof of France’s sympathy for genocide suspects. It is a warning: the world sees through selective justice. Kagame’s regime cannot forever monopolize the story of 1994 while burying its own sins in the forests of Congo. Justice for Rwanda must mean justice for all. 📌 Quick Facts: Agathe Habyarimana Case Who is Agathe Habyarimana? Widow of Rwanda’s former president Juvénal Habyarimana, killed on 6 April 1994. Lived in exile in France since 1998. What was the case? Accused of leading the “Akazu,” an alleged inner circle blamed for spreading hate propaganda. Placed under investigation in France in 2007 for conspiracy to commit genocide. Kept status of “assisted witness” since 2016, never charged. The Ruling (Aug 21, 2025): French judges dismissed the case after 17 years. Ruled evidence from Rwanda was “contradictory, unreliable, and politically tainted.” Why not extradited? France refused Kigali’s requests, fearing political trials. Judges cited risks of witness intimidation and one-sided justice in Rwanda. Wider Context: UN Mapping Report (2010) documented RPF massacres of Hutu refugees in Congo — possible crimes against humanity. No RPF commander has faced trial. What it means: Agathe remains free in France at age 82. Raises debate about Rwanda’s selective justice and France’s responsibility.
