 M23 says hundreds of Burundi soldiers captured in latest Congo offensive The Rwanda-backed M23 group has captured hundreds of Burundian soldiers during its latest offensive in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, a rebel official said, as clashes continued despite a warning from the Trump administration. Last week M23 entered the strategic town of Uvira near the border with Burundi, less than a week after the presidents of Congo and Rwanda met in Washington with U.S. President Donald Trump and affirmed their commitment to a peace deal known as the Washington Accords. U.S. 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".

 Don’t make excuses, end banditry-Former COAS, TY Danjuma tasks CDS Musa


An erstwhile Chief of Army Staff, COAS, Gen Theophilus Yakubu Danjuma, has tasked the Chief of Defense Staff, CDS, Gen Christopher Musa, to end banditry and killings as soon as possible.


Danjuma gave the charge on Tuesday in Abuja during the presentation of a book titled, ‘Big Boots: Lessons From My Military Service’, authored by Maj Gen Solomon Udounwa (retd).


While addressing serving and retired military top brass including the current defence chief seated at the event, the octogenarian said the onus rests on serving officers to end the menace of banditry and senseless killings by marauders all over the country.


“We must end the banditry and the killings that are going on in our country as soon as possible.


“The responsibilities are on your shoulders; those of you who are still servicing. No excuses, absolutely no excuses. God bless you. God bless our country,” he said.

Responding, CDS Musa said the Armed Forces won’t be deterred by the challenges confronting them in the fight against banditry and terrorism.


He assured Gen TY Danjuma that the military won’t fail but bring the blood-sucking mongers called bandits to their knees.


“The Armed Forces of Nigeria is willing, dedicated and committed to ensuring that we restore peace and security in our own dear country.


“We shall not be deterred. I want to assure you that we have learned so much from your records. We cannot afford to fail and we will not fail,” Gen Musa told TY Danjuma.

The North-West and North Central geopolitical zones of the country have been a hotbed of dark-hearted marauders known colloquially as bandits.
