CONGOS BRAVEST SOLDIER : The Heartbreaking BETRAYAL of Mamadou Ndala.

#m23 #drccongo #congo This is the story of Mamadou Ndala, Congo’s bravest soldier and martyr. He is responsible for saving the city of Goma from a complete takeover by the m23 rebels. He won the hearts of the dwellers of this city with his ability to calm crowds at a time when the populace had grown weary of the national army of Congo. Mamadou, as he was known to everyone, stood with his men at the front. As shells whistled overhead, he would be issuing orders into a walkie-talkie or mobile phone, seemingly oblivious to the cracks of gunfire or the impact of mortars all around. And he instilled discipline in his soldiers; any infraction would be met with swift punishment. His unit was not feared by civilians, but respected. He was not afraid of death and would often be on the frontline with his men completely unshaken by the fiery firepower of enemies who would sometimes be as close as 50 meters away. Mamadou Mustafa Ndala was a colonel in the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Ndala enrolled in the army on June 6, 1997. Fourteen years later, on Jan. 7, 2011, he was promoted to the rank of colonel. He took command of the 42nd Battalion of the Rapid Reaction Unit Commandos. Formed by Belgium, Angola, the United States, and China, he was the commander of the 42nd Battalion Commando Units Rapid Reaction FARDC.[1] He rose to fame with resounding victories over fighters from the March 23 Movement, a movement that was rampant in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Ndala was quickly noticed by the population of Goma. In July and August 2013, he led the victorious offensives against the M23 fighters who besieged the city. Following UN Security Council Resolution 2098 the operation to neutralize all armed groups should continue. Colonel Mamadou Ndala was then sent to the north of the Province of North Kivu, in the territory of Beni where a violent armed group, the ADF-Nalu, dominates, known for multiple cases of abuse including kidnappings of civilians (more than 600 people for three years) and massacres. Colonel Ndala committed in front of the population to track down these resistance fighters even underwater. The Congolese army, under his command, had secured the area and retook the city of Kamango which had fallen on December 25, 2013, from the hands of fighters from Uganda. He was preparing to launch a general offensive to liquidate the ADF-Nalu. Army units were positioned. On January 2, 2014, one day after the new year, at the end of the morning, Colonel Mamadou Ndala and his escort were about to leave the Albertine hotel in Beni-Boikene towards Eringeti aboard a jeep mounted with a heavy machine gun. Near the locality of Ngadi, the section fell into an ambush. An RPG-7 rocket hit the front of his jeep, kllng the occupants instantly. Two Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo Colonels were found guilty of hiring Ugandan-backed rebels for the assassination for 20,000 dollars. He was klled by the very regime he was fighting for. It is a practice long explored in the Congo: officers who distinguished themselves in combat are recalled to Kinshasa and neutralized, as if there was a political will aimed at making the conflict between the Congo and Rwanda last. This is a classic case of betrayal.
