Thrilled to be invited among journalists to visit #Rwanda-n troops deployed in Cabo Delgado to support #Mozambique army in fighting the Islamic state-linked terrorist group.
Results on the ground are successful, relationships with civilians, exciting and the country, beautiful!
Upon arrival in Nacala, we were received in the boardroom by commanders of @Rwandapolice and @RwandaMoD for a briefing..
Here is a close-up into #Rwanda-n troops arriving in Nacala, waiting to be deployed to the frontline on two axes:
- Axe 1. Palma - Afungi - Musimbua de Praia and
- Axe 2. Mueda - Awasi - Musombua de Praia
Here is the map of the operations by @RwandaMoD and @Rwandapolice. All operations are conducted jointly with #Mozambique Army and Police, or in technical terms: ‘Host Nation Defense and Security Forces’
The objective is to defeat the enemy and open up the axis Mueda-Palma.
I asked #Rwanda-n commander Basabose, if the Portuguese language poses an intelligence challenge:
“No, he said. Our army is modern. It uses technology in collecting scientific data: We locate the enemy, study his movements and are able to shoot him with precision at any range!
The troops’ morale is FULL! #Mozambique Army moral is also boosted by the support of #Rwanda-n fire! 🔥🔥

Upon accession to power, President Tshisekedi wanted to be seen as tackling the protracted armed conflict in Eastern #DRC. So he declared a "State of Emergency" in North Kivu and Ituri.
State of emergency means the region is run by the army, most civil rights are suspended.
State of emergency also means a hefty budget sent to Eastern DRC and managed by the army.
Problem: According to a parliament audit, of the $74M released from state coffers, only $23M (32%) can be accounted for, most of it (2/3) vanished in thin air.
A research that I’ve been doing for months reveals an unbelievable string of misinformation of the public by @nytimes, @TLHumanRights@kittykurth, his lawyers and Belgian lawmakers.
1. Not Rwandan Citizen 2. Human Rights Activist 3. Saved people at Milles Collines 4. Kidnapped 5. Tortured 6. Denied Lawyers of his choice 7. Subjected to sham trial
I will be demonstrating-with proof-that none of this is the truth
This is a passport application signed by #Rusesabagina himself in July 2004. The application is accompanied by a payment slip to @rrainfo - also signed by Rusess.
It is impossible for #BobiWine be president. I like him, and I think it may be time for change in Uganda. But other than musical entertainment, I think he never stood a chance and I wouldn't wish him on my 46 million neighbors and most youthful people in the world.
Just imagine for a second what a #BobiWine victory would look like: in Uganda. Who would declare it, who would organise his swearing-in, who would guard him, who would write his speech, and most importantly, what would he do with it? What does he know about leadership?
On Ideas and Representation:
Other than his spouse, I haven't seen any well read, dignified, high profile person speaking on his behalf -not that it is common in Ugandan politics, and other than emotional soundbites I haven't seen them make any sound, coherent political thought.
This attitude, this statement are wrong at so many levels. Whoever said this, thinks like this and acts like this does not deserve to be paid with my taxes.
It’s a #Thread!
But first: a manager who thinks clients are stupid is the one who is stupid!
The city of Paris is burning because of leaders like these who look down on the citizens.
When you have monopoly, you can’t expect excellence. If there is a mindset issue, it is within these underperforming institutions. Someone needs to kick their arses.
