Democratic Republic of the Congo: Mai-Mai Mazembe militia clashes with army
The Congolese military on Sunday destroyed bases of Maï-Maï Mazembe militia in Kanzanza on the west coast of Lake Edward in Lubero territory of North Kivu.
This new FARDC attack against the late Kitete’s Mai-Mai Mazembe was launched early this Sunday morning in Kanzana.
According to Richard Nyembo wa Nyembo the territory administrator, all the militia occupying this area of the west coast of Lake Edward are routed by the FARDC and their self-proclaimed leader, Shetani, is on the run.
“One Maï-Maï fighter was killed and two others captured. The camps of these militiamen were also destroyed,” Nyembo wa Nyembo said on Sunday, calling on the inhabitants to return to their villages because the area is already under control of National army.
