An spionage cell of Rwanda’s Directorate of Military Intelligence (DMI) in Kinshasa was uncovered and dismantled by DR Congo’s security services after months of tracking this cell that was operating in Kinshasa, capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The identities of these DMI operatives were
officially revealed by the Country’s Deputy Minister of Interior assisted by the Spokespersons of the Army and the Police during a briefing broadcasted on December 27, 2022, on DR Congo’s National Television.
Of the four ring leaders shown, 2 were Rwandans, one of them an active Rwanda Defence Force (RDF) soldier, and all the four have been operating in DR Congo under the cover of an NGO called “African Health Development Organization” (AHDO).
According to DR Congo’s deputy minister of Interior, these DMI spies had infiltrated the FARDC hierarchy and all elite segments in Kinshasa. They had established working contacts with senior FARDC army officers, high-profile political figures, business community and members of civil society.
Their encrypted telephones and investigations revealed and uncovered how these operatives of Rwanda’s Directorate of Military Intelligence had accessed various strategic sites within the capital and this, in complicity with a certain general and senior officers of the FARDC.
The deputy minister of interior, Army and Police Spokesmen all said that the investigation is still on going reasons they cannot name the General who was in complicity with this group, but all aspects say this is Lt Gen Philemon Yav who was arrested on 20 September in Kinshasa and placed in detention at Makala. At the time of his arrest, Lt Gen Philemon Yav was the commander of DR Congo’s third defense zone that spans across Ituri, Maniema, North and South North-Kivu regions.
The deputy minister of interior, Army and Police Spokesmen, noted how other spies are being tracked down especially some elements who were working for this operation cover NGO, African Health Development Organization (AHDO). This NGO had branches in other provinces of DR Congo, in the provinces of Kwango, Kwilu, Kasai, North Kivu and South Kivu. The top security brass also told the press of other two individuals, a Rwandan woman and a Congolese man that they haven’t displayed due to ongoing investigations. After crossing checking with contacts, the Rwandan woman is Josette Umwali, Rwanda’s long time external intelligence operative operative attached to DR Congo desk. According to sources, she is the one behind the identifying, selecting and recruitment of Mr. NSHIMIYIMANA BISERUKA Juvénal into Rwanda’s external intelligence service. A selection and recruitment that started by being a side chick to Mr. NSHIMIYIMANA BISERUKA Juvénal, an NGO boss, an NGO that was later used as a cover for Criminal Paul Kagame’s operative.
DR Congo’s security top brass also told the gathered press how these DMI operatives had bought a prime piece of land near N’djili international airport. Army spokesman noted, “buying of a very expensive piece of land on the perimeter of the international airport of N’djili and the military base of Kibomango gave a glimpse of the preparation of a Machiavellian plan similar to the one that was the basis for the assassination of President Juvénal Habyarimana and his Burundian counterpart Cyprien Ntaryamira in 1994.”
Investigations are continuing on the basis of leads and evidences provided by those who have been apprehended by the security services. Top security brass at this press briefing reassured the population that the Country’s Security Services are working hard to dismantle these terrorist network of criminals sent by Rwanda, and all Congolese accomplices, either civilian or military, will be put out of action.
