DRC Military Tribunal Sentences 13 Soldiers To Death For Cowardice

A military tribunal in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), has sentenced 13 soldiers to death on charges of murder, looting, and cowardice.

Military authorities said this was a drive to improve army discipline following territorial losses due to soldiers fleeing their posts.

The soldiers were sentenced on Tuesday in Lubero, a town in DRC’s eastern North Kivu province. The region has seen nearly three years of conflict with the Rwanda-backed M23 insurgency, alongside other militia violence, as reported by Reuters.

Local army spokesperson Mak Hazukay said intensified fighting in the Lubero territory has been exacerbated by instances of soldiers abandoning their positions, which has allowed the enemy to gain ground. He said:

Some of the soldiers who are supposed to be fighting the enemy at the front have shown a kind of indiscipline. We had to organise this educational trial to set things right.

In total, 24 soldiers were put on trial. Besides the 13 given death sentences, four received prison terms ranging from 2 to 10 years, six were found not guilty, and one case was delayed for more investigation.

The hearings aimed to rebuild trust between the military and the public said military prosecutor Kabala Kabundi.

All those convicted claimed they were not guilty and had five days to appeal their sentences. A lawyer for one of the defendants confirmed plans to appeal.

How about the cowards who are ruling you now ,they never fought in any battle during the liberation war ,now they are creating false names which were never heard about during the war. Some died and some were maimed during the war and these cowards who ran away and took refuge in neighbouring countries are now enjoying what they never fought for. Clever cowards but the day of reckoning is coming.

Now that my friends comes straight from Uncle Joe Stalin and his little red notebook. The trial is a form of instilling education. Or in High Commands words????

When reading the header I thought that is gross over punishment. Then when looting and rape reported my mind swerved 180 degrees. Cowardice in the face of the enemy. Shell Shock. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. All are the sameish mental torture military men may suffer. Rape & Looting is not from mental illness, they arise from greed & evil minds.
