General Léon Kasonga- the spokesperson for the Forces Armées de la République Démocratique du Congo (FARDC) has warned against elements that are trying to incite the army into revolting saying their wishes will not materialize.
'The authors of the calls for the revolt of the military must know that their hubbub will not pass,' he said on Thursday during a press conference held in the Capital Kinshasa, adding that the FARDC vehemently condemns the seditious campaign, concocted by backward-looking elements that have already been identified and which will soon be destroyed.
He said there is a campaign dedicated to the demoralization of the armed forces with the aim of pitting soldiers against each other.
General Léon Kasonga describes those behind such a campaign as cowards, driven only by the negation of the apolitical, republican and national values that underpin the armed forces.
'These thoughtless nonsense aims to destabilize the DRC, forgetting that, apolitical, national and republican, the FARDC forms an inseparable whole, an indissoluble jersey, a well-oiled body devoted to the stability and security of the Congo, 'said the spokesperson for the FARDC.
According to him the authors of the call for the revolt of the military via the social networks must know that their wishes will not pass.
'On the contrary, they should work to solidify and strengthen the links between valiant combatants of the armed forces, including military success, the setbacks inflicted on the outlaws in the East of the country and everywhere else, result from the combination of the combativeness of our soldiers with the judicious use of military equipment at the height of the 8th best army in Africa ', urged General Kasonga.
In addition, General Léon Kasonga called on the armed forces to remain united and disciplined behind the Supreme Commander, President Félix Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo.
