KENYAN ALLEGEDLY FIGHTING FOR M23 CAPTURED ON VIDEO

An unverified video has emerged online purportedly showing a rebel fighter captured by the Congolese army. What’s interesting about it is that, during the interrogation, the prisoner speaks Swahili with a Kenyan accent - prompting speculation that Kenyans have joined the ranks of the M23 group fighting in eastern DRC (and widely believed to be a Rwandan proxy force).

Last year, Kenya hosted M23 boss Bertrand Bisimwa and exiled Congolese opposition leader Corneille Nangaa. Together, they launched a new ‘political-military’ alliance in Nairobi. Kenya’s willingness to platform the pair infuriated DRC, which warned of “consequences.”
