FRN Sec.Gen. Kaniki Mobilises Diaspora

A rare trip to Northern America by the secretary general of FRN rebels movement has triggered a backlash from several pro Kinshasa regime elements.

Dr. Freddy Kaniki Secretary General of the FRN and the Vice-Governor of North Kivu Willy Manzi flew to Canada recently and met with hundreds of members of the Congolese diaspora.

These FRN top executives held meeting with Congolese diaspora over the weekend in Ottawa, Canada.

The pro Kinshasa establishment have ganged up in arms on social media calling for intervention from whoever cares to stop the movement of the executives of the rebels movement.

“How did they travel to Canada? Which airline did they use? Canadian authorities should investigate their movements and hold them accountable for their involvement in supporting rebel activities in the DRC,” said a critic under a pseudo name Africans.

He added, “They cannot come to Congo, participate in activities linked to armed groups, and then return to Canada and carry on with their lives as if nothing happened.”

However, “DRC does not have extradition treaty with Canada. If you commit crimes in DRC and run away to Canada, Canada will not arrest you. This is vis versa for Canada. Paul Mukendi is a free man in Congo but a criminal in Canada,” said Mputu said in reaction.

The Front pour la Refondation de la Nation (FRN) was officially established on October 12, 2026, during a press conference in Goma.

Former president Joseph Kabila is the leader of the FRN politico-military movement.

Other top executives include; Vice Presidents; Corneille Nangaa (AFC leader), Bertrand Bisimwa (M23 president).

Chief of General Staff: General Sultani Makenga (M23 military commander).

Secretary-General: Freddy Kaniki. Deputy Secretary-General: Benjamin MBonimpa.
