At the time, M23 declared the facility unsafe, accusing government-aligned coalition forces of using it to \u201cload bombs that are killing the civilian population.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although the international community later urged the restoration of air operations after AFC\/M23 seized Goma city, the rebels rejected the request, arguing that the airport had been left compromised by government forces who, they claimed, abandoned the area after laying explosives and causing damage that prevented safe use of the runway.<\/p>\n<p>During a Cabinet meeting chaired by President Felix Tshisekedi on Thursday, November 13, the government announced preparations to reopen the airport, a move the rebels swiftly denounced.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement released on Sunday, November 16, the movement\u2019s spokesperson, Lawrence Kanyuka criticised Tshisekedi\u2019s directive as detached from realities on the ground.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Kinshasa regime has neither the legitimacy nor the right to consider reopening airport infrastructure located in liberated territory, which it deliberately plundered and sabotaged,\u201d Kanyuka said through his official X account.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe airport can and will be reopened solely by AFC\/M23, not by President Felix Tshisekedi or any other party.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>MISE AU POINT DE L\u2019ALLIANCE FLEUVE CONGO\/MOUVEMENT DU 23 MARS (AFC\/M23) DE CE DIMANCHE 16 NOVEMBRE 2025.<\/p>\n<p>L\u2019ae\u0301roport de Goma pourra et sera rouvert uniquement par l\u2019AFC\/M23, et non par Monsieur Tshisekedi Tshilombo pic.twitter.com\/MqBc9MiKSt<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Lawrence KANYUKA (@LawrenceKanyuka) November 16, 2025<\/p>\n<p>A view of Goma airport runway, which was significantly damaged during the battle that saw the AFC\/M23 capture the airport earlier this year<\/p>\n<p>The movement further reiterated the continued hostilities in eastern DR Congo, despite ongoing peace efforts between the rebels and the Congolese government facilitated by Qatar.<\/p>\n<p>These talks are expected to complement the Washington peace process between Kinshasa and Rwanda, although both tracks have seen limited progress. The rebels said they are closely following developments on the ground.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe AFC\/M23 continues to closely monitor troop and military equipment deployments across all front lines, as well as logistical support to mercenaries and the operations of the coalition forces of the Kinshasa regime,\u201d the statement further read.<\/p>\n\r\n                <style type=\"text\/css\">\r\n
