On December 28, 2020, ADF rebels filmed themselves attacking the small village of Loselose, east of Beni, near Bulongo just past the Semuliki River. Loselose is an agricultural village producing cocoa, papaya and other crops.
I’m told that the Congo army (FARDC) recaptured the village an hour later. The video is just under 5 minutes. It verifies the unprofessional nature of ADF as they seem content to fire bullets rather indiscriminately.
This video and incident was verified by Kijiji Cha Amani. https://www.kijijichaamani.org/rumour/p87sG2/during-the-loselose-attack-the-adfmtm-terrorists-hoisted-the-flag
YouTube and Google would not permit the uploading of this video. I had no problems using Rumble, which I will use going forward.
Rebels have terrorized the defenseless people of Kalondo for some time. We just learned that at the Kalondo medical clinic marauding rebels had stolen the battery which supported the solar energy system. This small system provided basic but needed lighting.
James was able to co-ordinate with Saasita to replace the battery. It shouldn’t surprise anyone that China controls the battery market in east Africa! Saasita promptly delivered the battery so the clinic could enjoy some limited power.
As a thank-you, the locals provided Saasita with bananas. Hopefully she had some help getting them back to Butembo!
