❗️🌍🎞 🎣 Rybar Highlights of Africa on Mar.24, 2025

⚡️Official English Translation⚡️

The following report delineates the salient issues confronting the African continent, as identified during the 22-23 March meeting.
The following video synopsis was created by project leader @rybar Mikhail Zvinchuk for @SolovievLive.

The militant group, Al-Shabab, initiated a significant offensive in Somalia, capturing several cities in the Middle Shabelle region. This development led to the isolation of government forces and, for the first time since 2006, compelled Ethiopian aviation to intervene. The Somali army faced challenges in resisting the radical militants, necessitating the support of tribal militias.

Rwanda has withdrawn its proxy group, M23, from a recently captured city in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), fulfilling agreements reached through negotiations involving Qatar. However, this appears to be more of a tactical pause due to Western pressure rather than a genuine desire for peace, given that similar ceasefires in 2022 led to new offensives.

Concurrently, Uganda is engaged in active military expansion in the region, having secured control of nearly the entirety of Ituri province in the DRC through an operation against CODECO sectarians. The recent deployment of troops in South Sudan underscores Kampala's aspiration to emulate the Rwandan model of regional leadership. Further insights can be found in the accompanying video summary.

Automatic video summary:
The video discusses the political situation in Africa, focusing on events in Somalia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Uganda.In Somalia, terrorist group Ashabab launches an offensive, possibly leading to a siege of the capital. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the M23 movement captures territory despite a truce with Rwanda. Meanwhile, the armed forces of Uganda are competing with Rwanda for regional leadership in conflicts across Africa. This ongoing dynamic has the potential to result in the establishment of new alliances and military blocs throughout the continent.
