On December 8, 2025 a video allegedly from the city of Sange started circulating on X. Lawrence Kanyuka of M23 alleged it showed the result of a firefight between FARDC and Wazalendo. We will refer to this as the M23 video. Note that this video is graphic. x.com/LawrenceKany...

Some great work here from @groene.nl (in Dutch) on the far right and AI ‘Disappointed by the lack of real migrant violence, PVV members use AI to manufacture their own ‘hordes.’ The research shows: those inflammatory images come from Geert Wilders' faction itself’ paging @koltai.bsky.social
