The statement of the government -

Incursion of the Rwandan army repulsed by the FARDC in North Kivu.
Following our communication of July 19, 2023 which denounced the
announced incursions of the Rwandan army on Congolese territory, the Forces
Armies of the Democratic Republic of the Congo bring to the attention of
the national and international opinion that the Rwandan Defense Forces,
determined to maintain the insecurity in North Kivu, crossed, this Thursday, July 27
2023 at 09 o'clock, the Congolese border between terminals 13 and 17, to convey
their reinforcements and continue to destabilize and intentionally violate the integrity territorial of our Country. At their entrance, the soldiers of the Rwandan army
are arrogated the right to drive the peaceful Congolese populations out of their own land.
In their intervention, the elements of the Armed Forces of the Republic
Democratic Republic of the Congo border security officers dispatched to the
places were attacked by the Rwandan army. The clashes that ensued
followed-up allowed the FARDC to repel the Rwandan terrorists responsible for
this intolerable provocation, who have retreated to their country.
Taking witness, once again, national and international opinion, the Forces Armies of the Democratic Republic of the Congo will now respond vigorously piecemeal and exercise the right to sue.

🇵🇪💣 A helicopter of the Peruvian Army was attacked this Wednesday with bullets by an alleged "terrorist column" in the Valley region of the Apurimac, Ene and Mantaro (Vraem) rivers, the military force reported in a statement.

🇵🇪⚡️🤝🚩 💥 — The alliance between right-wing groups, such as the Fujimorist party Popular Force, and the self-proclaimed Marxist party Peru Libre, has secured control of the presidency of the Peruvian Congress for the 2023-2024 term. The legislator Alejandro Soto has been positioned as the first in line for the constitutional succession to the head of state position, in case President Dina Boluarte resigns or is removed from office.

This election took place at a time when the Congress has reached record-low levels of public approval and when anti-government protests have resurged, demanding Boluarte's resignation, the closure of the Legislature, and the calling of general elections.

The formation of this alliance has caused great surprise among political groups and the general public, given that Guerra García is one of the main spokespersons of the Fujimorism movement, and Cerrón is the brother of Peru Libre's founder, Vladimir Cerrón, who leads a self-proclaimed Marxist party.

🇳🇬 Nigerian senate rejects motion to free separatist leader

The Nigerian senate has rejected a motion by south-east region senators for the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the separatist Indigenous People of Biafra.

Imo West Senator Osita Izunaso, who moved the motion, said setting Kanu free would end the sit-at-home orders enforced in the region by gunmen.

"When people are forced to stay at home and businesses remain closed, productivity declines and income is reduced, affecting livelihoods and economic growth," he said.

However, the senate rejected the pleas from the south-east lawmaker, and instead asked the federal government to ensure those who enforce the orders are arrested.

Kanu has been in detention since June 2021 even after a court dropped all the terror charges against him in October 2022.

🇺🇸 🇨🇳 The Coming War With China | Malcom Kyeyune

In three short years, the world has witnessed the worldwide Covid lockdowns, America’s dismal retreat from Afghanistan, and the return of land war to Europe. But there are reasons to believe the dramatic events the 2020s have offered thus far might be only the beginning. If you follow the chatter of Beltway mandarins, an ominous change has taken place over the past year when it comes to China. A decade ago, the Middle Kingdom was a distant concern; five years later, it was viewed as silly and uncouth of Donald Trump to rail constantly against Beijing.

But in 2023, all that has changed drastically: There is now open talk in Washington about a potential war with China, and soon. To take just one example: In a conversation hosted earlier this year by the Center for Strategic and International Studies, Reps. Mike Waltz (R-Fla.) and Jason Crow (D-Colo.) spoke as if a war with China is highly probable, even guaranteed. Crow went so far as to suggest that the United States abolish any caps on how many of its military personnel in uniform are permitted to work on Taiwan as instructors, war planners, and military attaché. Such a move—which itself would move the United States and China closer to war—is warranted, according to Crow, because “the cat is out of the bag,” and “it’s very clear we’ve chosen sides.”
