 Rebels to withdraw from key DR Congo town 'after US request' The M23 rebel group has said it would withdraw from the eastern DR Congo town of Uvira at the request of the US administration, which had criticised seizure of the town last week as a threat to mediation efforts. The rebels entered Uvira, on the border with Burundi, less than a week after the presidents of Congo and Rwanda met with US President Donald Trump in Washington and affirmed their commitment to a peace deal known as the Washington Accords. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Saturday that Rwanda's actions in eastern Congo violated the Washington Accords and vowed to "take action to ensure promises made to the President are kept."

DSS UNCOVERED A PLAN BY BOKO HARAM TERRORISTS TO ATTACK THE ABUJA-KADUNA TRAIN SERVICE.(PHOTOS).

 


The Department of State Service (DSS) has uncovered a plan by Boko Haram terrorists to attack the Abuja-Kaduna train service in the coming days.

 

The DSS revealed this plot in a memo to the Federal Ministry of Transportation confirming that its intelligence revealed that the Boko Haram t€rrorists are planning to launch a fresh attack on the Abuja-Kaduna train service.

 

The Ministry of Transportation then wrote to the Federal Minister of Defence, Maj Gen Bashir Magashi, asking for security reinforcement to forestall the t€rrorist attack.

 

The letter dated, February 3, 2023, and titled, "Re: Threat by Boko Haram terrorists to attack the Abuja-Kaduna Train Service was signed by Mu'azu Jaji Sambo, the Transportation Minister.


 

It reads: "We are in receipt of a letter reference, S.314/31/C/5390, dated February 1, 2023, from the Department of State Services in respect of the above subject matter. It is our considered opinion that the Honourable Minister of Defence, as a matter of urgency, graciously convenes a meeting of all relevant stakeholders for the purpose of reviewing the reported alert with a view to ensuring that everything necessary to forestall any such occurrence is adequately dealt with."


Recall that Islamic terrorists attacked the Abuja-Kaduna train on March 28, 2022, killing eight passengers and wounding many. They also kidnapped 168 passengers who were later released in batches.
