- One X (formerly Twitter) user posted a report claiming that General Sultan Makenga, the head of the M23 rebels in the DRC, had died alongside Colonel Willy Ngoma.
Verdict: False
After conducting an investigation, JamiiCheck found that it is not true that General Sultan died alongside Colonel Ngoma.
Sources indicate that only Colonel Ngoma, who was the military spokesperson for the M23 rebel group, was killed in a drone strike attributed to the Congolese army (FARDC) near Rubaya in North Kivu province on February 24, 2026, at around 3 a.m.
Reports further state that General Sultan Makenga, who is the military leader of the M23 rebels, was reportedly wounded and did not die alongside Colonel Ngoma.
