Not so clever and witty now eh, Rwanda-backed M23 rebel group spokesman Willy Ngoma?
Democratic Republic of the Congo military leaders sure can’t hear you over the loud kaboom of a drone-fired missile that struck your convoy outside the strategic coltan mining hub of Rubaya in North Kivu province at about 3 AM local time this morning, according to Reuters. They got sick of wondering when you’d finally shut the hell up and decided demolish you and your lame, uninspired talking points like “We do not want to capture Goma but to liberate it. The population is in distress.”
“A spokesperson for the Congolese presidency declined to comment,” Reuters writes, failing to note the unsubtlety of a non-comment on an enemy press official being blasted to kingdom come.
