Function/rank: Colonel, commander of the FARDC 3411th regiment
Colonel Simon Tokolonga holds a leading position in the Congolese Armed Forces (FARDC) as head of its 3411th regiment. The non-governmental armed groups part of the ARP coalition, including the NDC-R, APCLS and FDLR, sustain the armed conflict, instability and insecurity in the DRC, and are responsible for serious human rights abuses in that country, in particular through recruitment and training of combatants, participation in operations against M23/ARC, attacks against civilians, killings, and grave violations committed against children such as rapes and other forms of sexual violence and abduction. Owing to his leading position in the 3411th regiment of the FARDC and his coordinating role in weapons supplies, Simon Tokolonga is therefore responsible for providing support to armed groups sustaining the armed conflict, instability and insecurity in the DRC, including by providing them with arms and ammunitions. Colonel Tokolonga attended a meeting in Pinga on 8 and 9 May 2022 where local armed groups, such as the Nduma défense du Congo-Rénové (NDC-R) and the Alliance des patriotes pour un Congo libre et souverain (APCLS), gathered and forged a coalition to resist the March 23 Movement/Congolese Revolutionary Army (Mouvement du 23 mars/Armée révolutionnaire congolaise – M23/ARC) (coalition “Alliance des résistants de la patrie” – ARP). The presence of Colonel Tokolonga has revealed the cooperation of some FARDC members with this coalition. In addition, members of the 3411th regiment of the FARDC have supplied weapons and ammunitions to armed groups operating in the DRC, including the provision of more than a dozen boxes of ammunition to FDLR (“Forces démocratiques de libération du Rwanda”) fighters in Kazaroho in July 2022. Colonel Tokolonga has reportedly coordinated several weapons supplies to armed groups operating against M23/ARC.
Le colonel Simon Tokolonga occupe une fonction dirigeante au sein des Forces armées congolaises (FARDC) en tant que chef du 3411e régiment. Le colonel Tokolonga a participé à une réunion à Pinga les 8 et 9 mai 2022, au cours de laquelle des groupes armés locaux, tels que la Nduma défense du Congo-Rénové (NDC-R) et l’Alliance des patriotes pour un Congo libre et souverain (APCLS), ont réuni et forgé une coalition pour résister au Mouvement du 23 mars/Armée révolutionnaire congolaise (M23/ARC) (coalition “Alliance des résistants de la patrie” — ARP). La présence du colonel Tokolonga a révélé la coopération de certains membres des FARDC avec cette coalition. En outre, les membres du 3411e régiment des FARDC ont fourni des armes et des munitions à des groupes armés opérant en RDC, y compris la fourniture de plus d’une douzaine de boîtes de munitions aux combattants des FDLR (Forces démocratiques de libération du Rwanda) à Kazaroho en juillet 2022. Le colonel Tokolonga aurait coordonné plusieurs fournitures d’armes aux groupes armés opérant contre le M23/ARC. Les groupes armés non gouvernementaux qui font partie de la coalition ARP, y compris la NDC-R, l’APCLS et les FDLR, entretiennent le conflit armé, l’instabilité et l’insécurité en RDC et sont responsables de graves atteintes aux droits de l’homme dans ce pays, notamment en se livrant au recrutement et à la formation de combattants, en participant à des opérations menées contre le M23/ARC, à des attaques contre des civils, ainsi qu’à des assassinats, et en commettant de graves violations contre des enfants, telles que des viols et autres formes de violence sexuelle et des enlèvements. En raison de ses fonctions dirigeantes au sein du 3411e régiment des FARDC et de son rôle de coordination dans l’approvisionnement en armes, Simon Tokolonga est donc responsable du soutien apporté aux groupes armés qui entretiennent le conflit armé, l’instabilité et l’insécurité en RDC, notamment en leur fournissant des armes et des munitions.
