De violents combats ont \u00e9t\u00e9 signal\u00e9s jeudi 19 f\u00e9vrier en d\u00e9but de soir\u00e9e entre les combattants Twirwaneho et les Forces arm\u00e9es de la R\u00e9publique d\u00e9mocratique du Congo (FARDC), appuy\u00e9es par l\u2019arm\u00e9e des Wazalendo, dans les localit\u00e9s de Tuwetuwe, Bilalombili et Mikenge, situ\u00e9es dans les hauts plateaux de Minembwe, en territoire de Fizi, dans la province du Sud-Kivu, selon des sources concordantes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

D\u2019apr\u00e8s des sources proches du M23, l\u2019arm\u00e9e congolaise aurait engag\u00e9 d\u2019importants renforts d\u2019infanterie, soutenus par plusieurs drones d\u2019attaque qui auraient bombard\u00e9 des positions attribu\u00e9es aux combattants Twirwaneho.<\/p>\n

Aucun bilan officiel n\u2019\u00e9tait disponible dans l\u2019imm\u00e9diat, la zone demeurant difficile d\u2019acc\u00e8s en raison d\u2019une coupure du r\u00e9seau de communication.<\/p>\n

Ces combats interviennent malgr\u00e9 l\u2019annonce r\u00e9cente d\u2019un cessez-le-feu dans le cadre des initiatives r\u00e9gionales men\u00e9es sous l\u2019\u00e9gide de Luanda.<\/p>\n

Dans un communiqu\u00e9 publi\u00e9 \u00e0 Goma le 19 f\u00e9vrier 2026, l\u2019Alliance Fleuve Congo (AFC\/M23) a d\u00e9nonc\u00e9 ce qu\u2019elle qualifie de \u00ab violations du cessez-le-feu \u00bb par l\u2019arm\u00e9e congolaise et ses alli\u00e9s, accusant une coalition comprenant des \u00e9l\u00e9ments des FARDC, des Wazalendo, des FDLR et des mercenaires \u00e9trangers d\u2019avoir intensifi\u00e9 des attaques contre des civils \u00e0 Minembwe, Mikenge, Karingi et dans l\u2019ensemble des hauts plateaux du Sud-Kivu.<\/p>\n

Les autorit\u00e9s congolaises n\u2019avaient pas r\u00e9agi officiellement \u00e0 ces accusations au moment de la publication.<\/p>\n

Par ailleurs, mercredi 18 f\u00e9vrier, des affrontements distincts ont oppos\u00e9 des combattants Wazalendo \u00e0 ceux du M23 dans les villages de Kasirusiru et Kalonge, dans le groupement de Bushwira, territoire de Kabare, toujours au Sud-Kivu, selon des sources locales et s\u00e9curitaires.<\/p>\n

Des sources s\u00e9curitaires dans la r\u00e9gion indiquent que les combattants du M23 auraient lanc\u00e9 une offensive coordonn\u00e9e dans cette zone, avec pour objectif pr\u00e9sum\u00e9 de progresser vers la cit\u00e9 strat\u00e9gique de Bunyakiri, dans le groupement de Kalima, territoire de Kalehe.<\/p>\n

Cette agglom\u00e9ration est consid\u00e9r\u00e9e comme un carrefour strat\u00e9gique reliant les hauts plateaux et les zones foresti\u00e8res du nord-ouest de la province.<\/p>\n

Les m\u00eames sources affirment que l\u2019avanc\u00e9e aurait \u00e9t\u00e9 contenue apr\u00e8s d\u2019intenses \u00e9changes de tirs.<\/p>\n

Aucun bilan officiel en termes de pertes humaines ou mat\u00e9rielles n\u2019\u00e9tait disponible et les autorit\u00e9s provinciales n\u2019avaient pas encore communiqu\u00e9 sur ces \u00e9v\u00e9nements.<\/p>\n

Les combats ont impliqu\u00e9 des \u00e9l\u00e9ments se r\u00e9clamant du Mouvement national des r\u00e9volutionnaires congolais (MNRC\/Wazalendo), un groupe d\u2019autod\u00e9fense dirig\u00e9 par le g\u00e9n\u00e9ral autoproclam\u00e9 Mwami-Kongo XIII, actif dans plusieurs zones du Sud-Kivu.<\/p>\n

Dans un autre incident signal\u00e9 jeudi 19 f\u00e9vrier 2026, des \u00e9changes de tirs d\u2019armes lourdes et l\u00e9g\u00e8res ont oppos\u00e9 deux factions Wazalendo \u00e0 Kasumbera, \u00e0 environ sept kilom\u00e8tres de la ville de Butembo, dans la province du Nord-Kivu, selon une source s\u00e9curitaire congolaise affirmant suivre de pr\u00e8s l\u2019\u00e9volution de la situation.<\/p>\n

Sur le terrain, des habitants \u00e9voquent un climat de peur et des d\u00e9placements sporadiques de civils vers des zones jug\u00e9es plus s\u00fbres.<\/p>\n
