Congo River Alliance (AFC/M23) declares a unilateral ceasefire
2025-12-20

Translated Text:

The Congo River Alliance (AFC/M23) informs the national and international public that it has declared a unilateral ceasefire, in a spirit of responsibility and to offer a real chance for the return of peace.
A lovely and generous gesture.
However, the Kinshasa regime persists in implementing its plan for the systematic extermination of our compatriots, in flagrant violation of all its commitments.

The regime's coalition forces in Kinshasa continue to carry out deliberate attacks against our positions, as well as against densely populated areas.

On Friday, December 19, 2025:
- Starting at 5:00 a.m., these coalition forces launched attacks using #kamikaze #drones and naval forces, targeting densely populated areas as well as our positions in #Makobola, originating from #Baraka.

- At 5:30 a.m., the same forces attacked #Minembwe using drones and heavy artillery, sowing terror among the civilian population.

The AFC/M23 calls upon the Congolese people and international partners to bear witness to these repeated and deliberate violations of the ceasefire, as well as to the ongoing massacres of our compatriots.

These acts unequivocally demonstrate that the #Kinshasa regime seeks neither peace nor the protection of civilians, but persists in perpetuating violence and impunity.
