Introduction: The Rise of a Sophisticated African Insurgency

The March 23 Movement, more widely known as M23, has reemerged as one of the most formidable rebel groups in Africa. Operating primarily in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), M23 has transformed from a localised militia into a well-structured insurgent force with a powerful intelligence apparatus. In recent years, it has seized major cities, controlled strategic territory, and launched highly coordinated offensives that showcase military precision. What sets M23 apart from many other insurgencies is its effective use of intelligence operations. This report examines the structure, functions, and impact of M23's intelligence capabilities, offering a deep dive into how this rebel movement sustains and expands its power through superior information warfare.
