UGANDA’S SHADY GAME IN EASTERN DRC: MUSEVENI’S DOUBLE DEALING WITH M23 REBELS EXPOSED

(Kampala’s Hypocrisy Reaches New Heights as Troops “Fight Terrorists” While Secretly Backing Rebels)

Facts Don’t Lie: Uganda’s Contradictory Role in Congo’s Bloody Conflict

For years, Mr. Yoweri Museveni’s regime has played both sides in the Eastern DRC conflict—posing as Kinshasa’s ally while allegedly fueling one of its deadliest rebellions. Now, with M23 rebels advancing rapidly and Uganda’s army chief, Muhoozi Kainerugaba (Museveni’s son), openly threatening to “rescue” Kisangani, the mask is slipping.

1. Uganda’s Troops in DRC: “Counterterrorism” or a Trojan Horse?

Since 2021, Uganda has stationed troops in Ituri and North Kivu under the pretext of fighting the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF). However, UN reports (2024) confirm what many have long suspected: Ugandan intelligence actively supports M23—the very rebels destabilizing the region.

Fact: Despite denials, M23 has repeatedly captured Congolese army (FARDC) weapons—some of which match those supplied to Uganda’s military.

Fact: Congolese officials accuse Uganda of allowing M23 to move freely through its territory, even as Ugandan forces claim to be “fighting instability.”

2. Muhoozi’s Provocations: A Reckless Mouthpiece for Kampala’s Agenda

Uganda’s army chief, Muhoozi Kainerugaba, is no ordinary general—he’s Museveni’s heir apparent, and his inflammatory tweets reveal Kampala’s true intentions.

“Our people of Kisangani, we are coming to rescue you. God’s army is coming.” – Muhoozi, June 2024.

“In one week, either M23 or UPDF will be in Kisangani.” – Another direct threat, framed as a “liberation.”

These aren’t just reckless statements—they’re strategic messaging. If Uganda were truly neutral, why would its top general openly predict M23’s advance?

3. Economic Motives: Uganda’s Gold Rush in Congo’s Chaos

The DRC is Uganda’s biggest gold supplier, yet much of it is smuggled. A 2023 UN report estimated that $500M+ in Congolese gold enters Uganda annually, fueling illicit trade.

Fact: Uganda’s gold exports tripled after its DRC military deployment.

Fact: Congolese authorities have repeatedly accused Ugandan forces of facilitating illegal mineral trafficking under the guise of “security operations.”

4. The Endgame: Museveni’s Regional Domination Plan

Uganda isn’t just after minerals—it’s expanding its sphere of influence. By keeping the DRC weak, Kampala ensures:

Control over trade routes (Uganda’s exports to DRC hit $1.3B in 2023).

Leverage over Kinshasa, making the DRC dependent on Ugandan “security cooperation.”

A buffer zone against rival powers (Rwanda, Burundi) also vying for influence.

Conclusion: The World Can’t Keep Ignoring Uganda’s Role

While the US and EU remain silent, Congolese civilians pay the price. If Uganda were truly fighting terrorists, why does M23 keep gaining ground? Why does Muhoozi openly cheer their advances?

The evidence is clear: Museveni’s regime is playing a dangerous double game—one that could push the region into full-blown war.

What’s next? Will the international community finally hold Kampala accountable, or will Eastern DRC remain a battleground for Uganda’s ambitions?

Why This Matters Now:

M23 is advancing towards Kisangani, a major city.

UN reports confirm Ugandan backing for rebels.

Muhoozi’s threats signal deeper Ugandan involvement.
