Congo River Alliance (AFC) & M23 rebel movement leader Corneille Nangaa says the rebels are forced to continue fighting on in order to protect themselves from the DR Congo and international community.
The AFC/M23 rebel leader says his politico-military no longer have anything to lose after having had their livelihoods destroyed by the DR Congo government and got sanctioned by the international community.
“Our property has been auctioned, our relatives are nailed in prisons in Kinshasa, we are under sanctions from the United States, the European Union. We have nothing left to lose, we are forced to fight for our survival,” Nangaa said at a press briefing.
The AFC/M23 rebel movement remain in control of North Kivu and South Kivu regions in eastern DRC even as fighting with the Congo Armed Forces (FARDC) continues.
