 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".

SENATE INVESTIGATES ALLEGATIONS OF NIGERIAN INVOLVEMENT IN NIGER'S DESTABILIZATION. (PHOTO).

The Nigerian Senate has launched an investigation into allegations made by Niger Republic's military leader, General Abdourahmane Tchiani, accusing the Nigerian government of colluding with France to destabilize Niger's internal security.


The allegations, which the Federal Government has described as "baseless",¹ claim that Nigeria is facilitating the terrorist group Lakurawa, allowing them to establish bases in Sokoto, Zamfara, and Kebbi states. Additionally, Tchiani alleged that foreign military bases in Nigeria are being used to target Niger's oil pipelines and create security threats.


The Senate's investigation was prompted by a motion brought by Senator Shehu Buba, Chairman of the Senate Committee on National Security and Intelligence. Buba expressed concern over Tchiani's implication of Nigeria's National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, and the former Director-General of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), Ahmed Rufai, in the alleged conspiracy.


The Senate has mandated its Joint Committee on National Security and Intelligence/Foreign Affairs to investigate the claims and submit a report within four weeks. As part of the probe, committee members will visit the named states to verify whether Lakurawa has any operational bases there.
