Rwanda-backed M23 Rebels Capture Kavumu Airport, Move Closer to Bukavu | Firspost Africa | N18G
Rwanda-backed M23 rebels continue their advance in DR Congo's mineral-rich east. The rebels have seized the airport serving the city of Bukavu, the capital of South Kivu province. This represents a major strategic victory for the rebels, as it cuts off air supply routes for DRC army and humanitarian operations in the region. The rebels have so far North Kivu's capital Goma, the largest city in mineral-rich east. They have now entered neighbouring South Kivu and have seized Kavumu, where the army had set up a defensive line. After breaching this they can easily target South Kivu's capital Bukavu. Rebels' advance come as African leaders are gathering to discuss the crisis at the AU summit.

Quick recap---This meeting focused on a presentation by Siphiwe Baleka about reparations and African heritage at Langston University, Oklahoma’s only Historical Black College and University (HBCU). Siphiwe discussed the historical roots of the transatlantic slave trade, explaining how the 1452 Dum Diversas papal bull declared war on African peoples and authorized European colonization. He outlined how this legal framework led to the forced removal and enslavement of African ancestors, including those who ended up in Tulsa. The presentation covered the concept of "ethnocide" - the destruction of ancestral identity - and argued that reparations should be framed as war damages rather than just slavery reparations. Siphiwe also discussed the importance of African Ancestry DNA testing to reconnect with ancestral heritage and the possibility of repatriation to African countries. The session included a breakout discussion about making a "sovereign mind switch" to reclaim indigenous legal jurisdiction that predates European systems.SEE: www.balanta.org/news/tulsa-reparations-summit
