 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". Rwanda denies supporting M23 and has blamed Congolese and Burundian forces for the renewed fighting.

NO FACTION IN PDP- BAUCHI GOVERNOR DECLARES.(PHOTO).


 No faction in PDP – Bauchi governor declares


Bauchi State governor, Bala Mohammed, has dismissed recent speculations of internal divisions within the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.


The governor, who doubles as Chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum, declared that there is no faction within the party.


Mohammed’s declaration is coming after the party’s embattled national chairman led PDP chairmen from the North East on a visit to the governor at the Government House, Bauchi, on Friday, amid reports of his purported suspension.


Recalls that Damagum was reportedly suspended by a faction of the PDP’s National Working Committee, NWC, along with National Secretary Samuel Anyanwu due to alleged disloyalty.


However, the Federal High Court in Abuja restrained the National Executive Committee, NEC, and Board of Trustees, BoT, of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, from removing Umar Damagum as the acting national chairman of the party.


Justice Peter Lifu on Friday ordered that no person other than Damagum should be recognised as PDP national chairman until the party’s national convention scheduled for December 2025.


But speaking after a closed-door meeting with the PDP stakeholders, Governor Mohammed maintained that the party remained intact and would resolve its internal crisis amicably.


His words: “I would say that we have met and discussed these situations extensively with the acting National Chairman and we have agreed to work together along with other party organs—the BOT, members of the Governors’ Forum, caucuses of the Senate and the House—to resolve all these issues and that is the major takeaway of this visit.


“We will deepen stakeholding, and collaboration so that all these issues that are disparaging the members of the party will be resolved and nipped in the bud.”


“We have decided that henceforth, we will not allow a gap and we will make sure that we resolve all these issues.


“We are not recognising any faction, we are together as a body and definitely, at the end of the day, we will resolve all issues.”


Mohammed assured that the PDP is actively working towards resolving internal issues through collaboration among key party stakeholders.


According to him, the final decision does not rest on him alone but on other members who are stakeholders within the PDP Governors’ Forum, the Board of Trustees (BOT), the caucus, and other high-ranking party members.


He further noted that consultations with his fellow PDP governors are ongoing to determine the next steps.


“This has been a productive outing, and I am assured that the party will come together to resolve all contending issues. We have agreed, in the presence of other stakeholders, that we will do whatever it takes to restore the party’s glory so it can achieve victory in the 2027 elections,” Mohammed declared.
