      I don't know which war SA ever won to be regarded as military power? Can you share some of their military victories.
      I know apartheid army lost big time in Angola, Namibia, Mozambique and Zimbabwe when they tried their shinanigans.
      Even apartheid army and intelligence distabilizations of independent neighboring countries failed big time ...but again Satafricans were told different propaganda stories.
      I mean even in local SA townships they tried and lost hence apartheid collapsed!

      @@bissetnSouth Africa has the most victories on the African continent, both before and after 94, the difference now is that South Africa and its society doesn’t have the appetite for war unlike pre 94, which is why the state of the military has degraded, but that’s not to say it’s weak, in this situation, it simply was ill equipped, because they undermined, the power of this rebel group, which in their defence it is exactly just that, a rebel group, but now it has looked more and more like an organised proper military, which means someone is funding them massively, this is now a wake up call for South Africa and the SANDF, there are two options, abandoned the battlefield, and face humiliation, or finally fund it big time on the pretends of restoring face and power, to vary on this war and end it once and for all ( probably out of grudg and revenge), I personally would choose the second option

      The truth is that since SADC forces arrived in North Kivu, it found that M23 had occupied strategic areas and it couldn't dislodge them in those areas. Each time, SAMDRC tried to fight, the effect was fatal. The final onslaught was that DRC army, FDLR&Sadc&Burundian forces found themselves surrounded by M23 inside the aiport of Goma&the only exit was through Lake kivu or Rwanda. SADC forces were instructed by M23 to salender and hand their weapons to MONUSCO&they agreed. M23 knew that they wouldn't be attacked because they had cooperated. There were special forces (commandos of DRC deployed along with FDLR (genocidal forces) who killed 1m pple in Rwanda in 1994&fled to DRC), these are strong fighters who normally assist DRC in its wars. This force was mixed with DRC special forces and itself is a special force nicknamed CRAP in french acronym. This force refused to salender to M23 even if it was sarounded. It fought hard with M23&the DRC special forces also joined them. SADC forces which had initially cooperated &agreed to salender to MONUSCO also turned their Minds and joined FDLR, Burundian forces&DRC special forces to fight M23. Actually I hear M23 was ambushed by SADC forces and many were killed when M23 did not expect that they can be attacked by SAdc forces because it had also not shot at them after they had agreed to salender. When m23 soldiers were killed inside the airport is when it knew that Sadc forces had not salendered to UN forces (lying their arms to UN force station) so that they are not attacked by m23. The combined force of SADC, FDLR, BURUNDIAN FORCES, and DRC special force attacked m23 inside the airport premises of Goma, the war went on for 8 hours of intense fighting until M23 defeated them. Some were captured alive, others hid in the thick jungles outside the airport of Goma. Analytically, FDLR&special forces of DRC were stubborn and refused to salender to m23 and SAmdrc feared to let them down as their allies&joined them in the fight because they thought they had enough weapons and salendering was an act of cowardice and being undermined by M23. FDLR, the genocidal group had nothing to lose because for them they had no option to salender to m23 as they feared that it would be repatriated to Rwanda where most of them left in 1994 and they would face justice, so they had to fight for their exit route.
      That is the background that led to more than 70 soldiers of south Africa soldiers dead (according to m23 insiders), even if South Africa reports only 9 or 13 soldiers. Finally they salendered to m23 after 8 hours of fighting.
      They had sofiscated guns, had big guns, were many but the problem is that they refused to salender to m23 yet they knew that there was no opportunity for reinforcement in case they runout of ammunition or were defeated since m23 was all-over them(sarounding them strategically&had a chance of getting reinforcement.
      Their exit was either to be in Rwanda or the Lake kivu where those waters were also guarded by m23 marine soldiers who would also kill them. It was a mistake for them&they contributed to their death.RIP beloved soldiers&may their families recover soon from grief. Goma city is now liberated fully by m23&I hear today a new North Kivu governor was appointed by M23.

      Why does Rwanda attend peace talks if it is a Congolese problem ?
      Wasn’t General Kaberebe on the late Laurent Desire Kabila’s Banyamulenge led march from Goma to Kinshasa in 1997-98 with Ugandan help too? M23 can’t get surface to air missiles or sophisticated weapons from nowhere it all points to Rwanda!!!

    Well say Sophia. You are among few journalists who understand well the conflict between M23 - DRC - Rwanda. Thank you for being a such journalist. Président Ramaphosa need to follow the Thabo mbeki's advice to save SA soldiers lives, and protect S.A dignity. In contrary of that, this country which has been considered as role model of all Africans freedom fighters, is going to be a supporter of génocidaires fighters. it's a shame for African hero Mandela's country

    • @Ethan00477
      @Ethan00477 7 днів тому

      @ChaSingNatuRe-d2y The truth is that since SADC forces arrived in North Kivu, it found that M23 had occupied strategic areas and it couldn't dislodge them in those areas. Each time, SAMDRC tried to fight, the effect was fatal. The final onslaught was that DRC army, FDLR&Sadc&Burundian forces found themselves surrounded by M23 inside the aiport of Goma&the only exit was through Lake kivu or Rwanda. SADC forces were instructed by M23 to salender and hand their weapons to MONUSCO&they agreed. M23 knew that they wouldn't be attacked because they had cooperated. There were special forces (commandos of DRC deployed along with FDLR (genocidal forces) who killed 1m pple in Rwanda in 1994&fled to DRC), these are strong fighters who normally assist DRC in its wars. This force was mixed with DRC special forces and itself is a special force nicknamed CRAP in french acronym. This force refused to salender to M23 even if it was sarounded. It fought hard with M23&the DRC special forces also joined them. SADC forces which had initially cooperated &agreed to salender to MONUSCO also turned their Minds and joined FDLR, Burundian forces&DRC special forces to fight M23. Actually I hear M23 was ambushed by SADC forces and many were killed when M23 did not expect that they can be attacked by SAdc forces because it had also not shot at them after they had agreed to salender. When m23 soldiers were killed inside the airport is when it knew that Sadc forces had not salendered to UN forces (lying their arms to UN force station) so that they are not attacked by m23. The combined force of SADC, FDLR, BURUNDIAN FORCES, and DRC special force attacked m23 inside the airport premises of Goma, the war went on for 8 hours of intense fighting until M23 defeated them. Some were captured alive, others hid in the thick jungles outside the airport of Goma. Analytically, FDLR&special forces of DRC were stubborn and refused to salender to m23 and SAmdrc feared to let them down as their allies&joined them in the fight because they thought they had enough weapons and salendering was an act of cowardice and being undermined by M23. FDLR, the genocidal group had nothing to lose because for them they had no option to salender to m23 as they feared that it would be repatriated to Rwanda where most of them left in 1994 and they would face justice, so they had to fight for their exit route.
      That is the background that led to more than 70 soldiers of south Africa soldiers dead (according to m23 insiders), even if South Africa reports only 9 or 13 soldiers. Finally they salendered to m23 after 8 hours of fighting.
      They had sofiscated guns, had big guns, were many but the problem is that they refused to salender to m23 yet they knew that there was no opportunity for reinforcement in case they runout of ammunition or were defeated since m23 was all-over them(sarounding them strategically&had a chance of getting reinforcement.
      Their exit was either to be in Rwanda or the Lake kivu where those waters were also guarded by m23 marine soldiers who would also kill them. It was a mistake for them&they contributed to their death.RIP beloved soldiers&may their families recover soon from grief. Goma city is now liberated fully by m23&I hear today a new North Kivu governor was appointed by M23.
