Tiger Woods’ son Charlie’s net worth, ‘broke’ claim and £30M rumours | Golf | Sport

Charlie Woods, the son of Tiger Woods, is setting his sights on a career in golf. The 16-year-old has been learning from his father, who is keen to pass on his golfing wisdom.

Despite the pressure of emulating a 15-time major winner, Charlie seems unfazed and led his Florida high school to a state championship victory in 2023. He recently made headlines in December when he scored his first hole-in-one.

However, he still has a long journey to match his father’s success, who tops the PGA Tour’s all-time prize money list. Express Sport takes a closer look at the teenager’s budding golf career.

Net worth

According to Sportskeeda, Charlie’s net worth is estimated at around £20million ($25m), mainly due to potential sponsorship deals and a trust fund set up by his father. As an amateur golfer, there’s no exact figure for his earnings so far.

The youngster has played alongside his dad at the PNC Championship several times, most recently finishing second after scoring his hole-in-one. The Woods family missed out on the top prize in a play-off with Bernhard and Jason Langer.

Their total prize money from the tournament is £242k ($300k). While an impressive amount for a 16-year-old, it is a small sum compared to his father’s course earnings of £97m ($120m) and overall net worth of £1.05bn ($1.3bn), as reported by Forbes.

Brand deal rumours

A significant portion of Tiger’s earnings come from endorsement deals, and brands are expected to line up to collaborate with his son, Charlie, as the Woods family aims to establish a golfing dynasty. Charlie is eligible for Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals, typically offered to star student-athletes, but there’s no confirmation yet that he has signed with any brand.

Rumours circulated that Charlie had partnered with Greyson, a clothing brand valued at an estimated £31m ($39m), after he was seen wearing the company’s logo at the 2023 PNC Championship. However, neither Woods nor the brand confirmed a deal.

At the most recent PNC event, Woods sported Sun Day Red apparel, a label launched by his father last year, but he isn’t listed as an official ambassador. Charlie’s high school coach, Toby Harbeck was previously asked about potential sponsorships.

“I’m sure someone’s going to approach him with [NIL],” he said, according to Marca. “But they’re so smart and they’ve got such good people around them that I think the only thing we need to be careful of is making sure we’re all aware of what’s going on and that deals with all kids.”

‘I’m broke’ claim

Charlie’s celebration of his first-ever hole-in-one was briefly interrupted when his dad reminded him of one of golf’s golden rules. Tiger hugged his son and smiled before telling Charlie that he would be getting in a round of drinks. “You’re buying for everyone out here,” Woods Snr said, to which Charlie responded, “I’m not buying. I’m broke.”

The light-hearted family banter continued as Sam, their caddy and Charlie’s sister, urged him to follow tradition before his dad reinforced the point. “You’re buying. He has to buy,” Tiger declared. “That’s protocol for making a hole-in-one. Round on you, bud.”

Charlie’s reluctance seems to show that the Woods family has chosen not to rush into any major sponsorship deals for the teenager. Nonetheless, Tiger expressed immense pride in their team effort at the PNC Championship.

“For us to have that experience together, I know we didn’t win, but it was the fact that we competed,” he said. “No one really made a mistake out there, we had to earn it and that’s what you want to have. Hats off to the Langers – they played amazing.”

Tiger Woods’ son Charlie has been making headlines recently, not just for his impressive golf skills at a young age, but also for rumors surrounding his net worth. While it’s difficult to determine an exact figure for a child, some reports have suggested that Charlie could already have a substantial net worth due to his famous father.

However, Tiger Woods has dismissed these claims, stating that his son is not “broke” as some have suggested. Woods has made it clear that he wants Charlie to have a normal childhood and not be burdened by financial pressures at such a young age.

Despite this, there are rumors circulating that Charlie could potentially inherit a sizeable fortune from his father, with some estimates suggesting it could be as high as £30 million. While these rumors may be unsubstantiated, it’s clear that Charlie Woods is already making a name for himself in the golf world and could have a bright future ahead of him.

Russia says U.S. relations are on brink of collapse, refuses to confirm Trump call claim
The Kremlin said Monday that U.S.-Russia relations were on the brink of collapse and refused to confirm whether Russian President Vladimir Putin had spoken with President Donald Trump, despite Trump saying so Sunday.

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told a media conference Monday that relations with Washington “are balancing on the brink of a breakup” and reiterated that the war in Ukraine would last until Kyiv drops its ambitions to join NATO and withdraws from the four regions occupied by Russian forces.

In remarks suggesting Moscow is maintaining its tough negotiating stance, Ryabkov said that “we simply imperatively need to get … the new U.S. administration to understand and acknowledge that without resolving the problems that are the root causes of the crisis in Ukraine, it will not be possible to reach an agreement.”

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said the same day that he would “neither confirm nor deny” Trump’s comments to reporters on Air Force One on Sunday that he and Putin had spoken in his first officially acknowledged contact with the Russian leader since 2022.

Referring to his contact with the Russian leader, Trump told reporters, “let’s just say I’ve had it … and I expect to have many more conversations. We have to get that war ended.”

“I hate to see all these young people being killed. The soldiers are being killed by the hundreds of thousands,” he said, but declined to provide any more details about how many times the two had spoken, responding, “I’d better not say.”

The remarks from Trump and spokespeople for the Kremlin come at a crucial juncture for the war in Ukraine, with Kyiv and its European neighbors nervously awaiting details of Trump’s peace plan to end the conflic t that Russia launched with its full-scale invasion three years ago.

Between winning election in November and being inaugurated last month, Trump said he planned to end the war in a single day upon taking office.

Referring to Trump’s remarks Sunday, Keir Giles, a senior fellow of the Russia and Eurasia Program at the London think-tank Chatham House, said “it would be tempting to think that this was all part of a careful plan for not releasing information too early in order not to bridge this process.”

“Or it could simply be that, as seems to be the case with Trump’s earlier promises of immediate action to bring the conflict to an end, that there isn’t, in fact, a plan yet,” he told NBC News.

Giles added that more clarity on the situation may come later this week, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy due to attend the high-profile Munich Security Conference, which senior U.S. officials are also attending.

Trump’s national security adviser, Mike Waltz , told NBC News’ “Meet the Press” on Sunday that the U.S. officials would be “talking through the details of how to end this war and that will mean getting both sides to the table.”

He added that Trump would be “prepared to tax, to tariff, to sanction” Moscow to get Putin to the negotiating table, while also stripping back assistance to Ukraine to force European allies to ramp up support to Ukraine.

Ryabkov’s comments today came after Zelenskyy told the British broadcaster ITV last week that he was ready to hold talks with Russia as long as “I had an understanding that America and Europe will not abandon us and they will support us and provide security guarantees.”

The Ukrainian leader also told Reuters on Sunday that it was important he meets Trump before any negotiations with Putin, “otherwise, it will look like a dialogue about Ukraine without Ukraine.”

A Russian drone attack on Kyiv late Sunday injured a woman and damaged several houses in the northeastern city of Sumy, Ukrainian officials said Monday.

Relations between the United States and Russia have reached a critical point, with the Russian government declaring that they are on the brink of collapse. This statement comes as Russian officials refuse to confirm President Trump’s claim that he had a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The escalating tensions between the two countries have raised concerns about the future of diplomatic relations and the potential for further conflict. The lack of communication and transparency between the two leaders only adds to the uncertainty surrounding the situation.

As the world watches closely to see how this situation unfolds, it is clear that the relationship between the United States and Russia is at a crossroads. The actions and decisions made in the coming days will have far-reaching implications for global politics and security.

New York Islanders claim defenceman Adam Boqvist off waivers from Florida Panthers

The New York Islanders claimed defenceman Adam Boqvist off waivers from the Florida Panthers on Friday.

The 24-year-old has two goals and four points in 18 games this season while averaging 12:51 of ice time. He has not played an NHL game since Jan. 6.

Drafted eighth overall by the Chicago Blackhawks in 2018, Boqvist was dealt to the Columbus Blue Jackets in July of 2021, where he would play five seasons before signing with the Panthers in the off-season on a one-year, $775,000 deal.

Isles continue to add on defence

With the Boqvist claim, this is New York’s third notable move to address their blueline in the past week.

On Jan. 24, the team signed Tony DeAngelo for the remainder of the 2024-25 season. The 29-year-old hasn’t played in the NHL this season, but had six goals with 26 assists in 34 games with the KHL’s St. Petersburg SKA.

DeAngelo appeared in 31 games with the Carolina Hurricanes last season, recording three goals and eight assists. He added two assists in nine playoff games.

On Monday, the Islanders acquired Scott Perunovich from the St. Louis Blues in exchange for a 2026 conditional fifth-round pick.

The 26-year-old had two goals and six points in 24 games with the Blues this season while averaging 14:37 of ice time.

The 5-foot-10 left-shot defenceman signed a one-year, $1.15 million with the Blues in the off-season and is a restricted free agent at the end of the season.

The New York Islanders have added some defensive depth to their roster by claiming defenceman Adam Boqvist off waivers from the Florida Panthers. Boqvist, a former first round draft pick, brings skill and potential to the Islanders’ blue line.

With injuries plaguing the Islanders’ defensive corps, Boqvist’s arrival couldn’t have come at a better time. The 21-year-old Swede has shown flashes of brilliance in his young career and will have the opportunity to make an impact with his new team.

Boqvist will join a talented Islanders team that is looking to make a deep playoff run this season. His addition provides some much-needed depth and versatility on the back end, and could prove to be a key acquisition for the team as they push towards the postseason.

Islanders fans can look forward to seeing Boqvist in action as he suits up for his new team in the coming games. With his skill and potential, he could be a valuable asset for the Islanders as they continue their quest for a championship.

Islanders Claim Adam Boqvist Off Waivers From Panthers
Jan. 31: The Islanders claimed Boqvist off waivers from the Panthers on Friday, per Friedman. He’s the third puck-moving blue-liner they’ve added in the past few weeks, joining UFA pickup Tony DeAngelo and trade acquisition Scott Perunovich. He’ll add some needed depth to the team’s blue line as they deal with the long-term absences of Noah Dobson, Ryan Pulock, and Mike Reilly. They’ll need to open up a roster spot as Boqvist’s acquisition puts them over the 23-player limit.

Jan. 30: The Panthers placed defenseman Adam Boqvist on waivers Thursday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports. He will presumably be assigned to AHL Charlotte if he clears.

Boqvist, 24, has not played since Jan. 6 and was healthy scratched for an 11th straight game in Wednesday’s shutout win over the Kings. The 5’11” righty played in nine of Florida’s first 10 games of the season but has been a press box fixture since then, only suiting up 18 times among the Panthers’ 52-game slate thus far.

Once one of the league’s more highly-touted defense prospects, Boqvist was a low-risk pickup for the Panthers last summer on a one-year, league-minimum contract. He’d been bought out by the Blue Jackets with one season left on a three-year, $7.8MM deal, ending his tenure in Columbus prematurely after being brought in as the centerpiece of the return from the Blackhawks in the 2021 Seth Jones blockbuster.

Selected eighth overall by Chicago in the 2018 draft, Boqvist looked well on his way to becoming a top-four fixture soon after the trade to Columbus. He wasn’t logging a ton of even strength minutes but had worked his way up to a consistent power play role and, when healthy, notched 46 points in 98 games over his first two seasons in Ohio. His lack of physicality had always been a sticking point, though, and, paired with underwhelming possession quality numbers, he entered the 2023-24 campaign further down on the depth chart than in years past.

Healthy scratches and shoulder issues were the norm for Boqvist last season. He was limited to 35 appearances for the Jackets, scoring once and adding nine assists for 10 points. He averaged 18:17 per game when in the lineup, similar to the usage he’d had in years prior. However, he was an even less engaged checker with only 11 hits and fell behind as Columbus added veterans Ivan Provorov and Damon Severson to their ranks.

The Panthers were optimistic that Boqvist could regain a regular role in Florida, helping accommodate the departures of power-play fixtures, such as Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Brandon Montour, in free agency after winning the Stanley Cup. He also linked up with older brother Jesper Boqvist, who signed a matching league-minimum deal with the Cats. While Boqvist did get a long look on the power play, he was quickly overtaken on the top unit by Aaron Ekblad and averaged just 10:48 per game at even strength, the lowest among Florida defenders. His 3.4 GA/60 at even strength also ranked last among Panthers D-men, leading to his poor defensive impacts outweighing any offensive benefit.

Boqvist hits pause on his NHL career for now after recording six points (2 G, 4 A) in 18 appearances for the Panthers. If he suits up for Charlotte, it will mark his first AHL appearance since the 2019-20 campaign when he was still in the Blackhawks organization.

The New York Islanders have made a big move, claiming defenseman Adam Boqvist off waivers from the Florida Panthers. Boqvist, who was selected eighth overall in the 2018 NHL Draft, brings youth and skill to the Islanders’ blue line.

The 21-year-old defenseman has shown flashes of brilliance in his young career, tallying 30 points in 80 games with the Chicago Blackhawks before being traded to the Panthers in the offseason. Boqvist is known for his smooth skating, offensive instincts, and ability to move the puck effectively.

With the Islanders currently battling injuries on defense, Boqvist’s addition provides much-needed depth and talent to the team. It will be exciting to see how he fits into the Islanders’ system and contributes to their success moving forward.

Islanders fans, get ready to welcome Adam Boqvist to your team and watch him make an impact on the ice!

Islanders Claim Adam Boqvist From Florida

The New York Islanders have claimed defenseman Adam Boqvist off waivers from the Florida Panthers.

Boqvist, 24, has played in 18 games this season, scoring two goals and four assists for six points. He has played six NHL seasons with the Panthers, Columbus Blue Jackets, and Chicago Blackhawks, totaling 91 points (25 goals and 66 assists) over 227 games.

The Falun, Sweden native, played one season with the London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League and was named to the OHL Second All-Star Team in 2018-19 after recording 60 points (20 goals and 40 assists) over 54 games. His 40 assists led the Knights.

Before coming to North America, Boqvist played in 15 Swedish Hockey League (SHL) games with Brynas IF in 2017-18, notching one assist. He also produced 40 points (18-22-40) over 43 games with Brynas’ junior club from 2016-17 to 2017-18.

On the international stage, Boqvist earned a bronze medal with Sweden at the 2018 IIHF U18 World Championship. The 6’0, 191-pound defenseman led all tournament blueliners in goals (three) and points (seven) and was named Best Defenseman. He also earned a bronze medal at the 2017 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament, leading all tournament skaters with seven assists (1 goal and 7 assists) over five games.

Boqvist was originally selected by the Chicago Blackhawks in the first round (8^th overall) of the 2018 NHL Draft.

The New York Islanders have announced that they have claimed defenseman Adam Boqvist off waivers from the Florida Panthers. Boqvist, a former first-round draft pick, brings a wealth of talent and potential to the Islanders’ blue line.

Boqvist, 21, has played in 82 NHL games over the past two seasons, recording 23 points (8 goals, 15 assists). Known for his offensive prowess and puck-moving abilities, Boqvist is expected to make an immediate impact with the Islanders.

With the addition of Boqvist, the Islanders’ defense corps is looking stronger than ever. Boqvist joins a talented group of defensemen, including Ryan Pulock, Adam Pelech, and Scott Mayfield.

Islanders fans are excited to see what Boqvist can bring to the team and are hopeful that he can help solidify their defense and contribute to their success this season. Stay tuned for updates as Boqvist settles in with his new team.

White House Press Secretary’s ‘Unconstitutional’ Claim Is Quickly Dismantled By Critics

Generate Key Takeaways

Karoline Leavitt on Tuesday drew ridicule and ire after she boldly declared during her first briefing as the new Trump White House press secretary:

“This administration believes that birthright citizenship is unconstitutional.”

Critics didn’t have to do too much work to point out that birthright citizenship is outlined, as follows, in the 14th Amendment: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”

Michael Steele, the former chair of the Republican National Committee, wrote on social media: “And on what constitutional principle is this belief based?”

President Donald Trump’s niece, Mary Trump, commented: “The Constitution is unconstitutional is quite a gauntlet to throw down.”

And Rep. Summer Lee (D-Pa.) shared a screenshot of “the Literal Constitution.”

Trump signed an executive order to ban birthright citizenship on his first day back in office as part of his wider anti-immigrant agenda. The move faced an immediate legal challenge from Democratic-led states and last week a federal judge temporarily blocked it as “blatantly unconstitutional.”

Leavitt also received flak during her briefing debut for a highly-contested claim about America having previously sent $50 million worth of condoms to Gaza and for promising to tell “the truth from this podium every single day.”

White House Press Secretary’s ‘Unconstitutional’ Claim Is Quickly Dismantled By Critics

Recently, the White House Press Secretary made a bold claim that was quickly met with criticism and scrutiny from legal experts and pundits alike. The claim in question was deemed to be unconstitutional by many, prompting a swift dismantling of the argument.

Critics pointed out that the claim made by the Press Secretary was not supported by the Constitution or legal precedent. They argued that such a claim would set a dangerous precedent and undermine the rule of law in the country.

Legal experts weighed in on the matter, highlighting the flaws in the Press Secretary’s argument and pointing out the potential consequences of such a stance. They emphasized the importance of upholding the Constitution and protecting the rights of all citizens, regardless of political affiliation.

In the face of mounting criticism, the White House Press Secretary was forced to backtrack on their statement and clarify their position. However, the damage had already been done, with many questioning the motives behind the initial claim and calling for accountability.

Overall, the swift dismantling of the ‘unconstitutional’ claim by critics serves as a reminder of the importance of upholding the rule of law and ensuring that all government officials adhere to the principles outlined in the Constitution. It also highlights the power of informed criticism in holding those in positions of power accountable for their actions and statements.

Love Island fans beg for movie night as they predict epic meltdown after Curtis brushed off romance with Ekin-Su to Danielle and claim he ‘hasn’t changed’ since brutally dumping Amy in series 5
Love Island viewers have predicted movie night could end in an epic meltdown after Curtis Pritchard spent a night in the hideaway with bombshell Danielle Sellers.

Curtis, 28, has been romancing Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, 30, throughout the second series of Love Island: All Stars, with them both claiming they are ‘closed off’ to each other.

However, fans have insisted Curtis did not given the impression of a taken man when he was whisked off on a date with Danielle, who picked him upon her villa arrival.

While Curtis said he was ‘closed off’ to Ekin-Su, he followed it up by insisting he ‘barely knew’ her – as viewers begged for the moment to be shown on movie night.

Movie night reveals private moments between Islanders to the rest of the cast and typically results in tension and rows when hidden secrets are revealed.

Viewers have forecast that Ekin-Su will create a scene of colossal proportions, which they likened to a memorable moment between Curtis and his ex Amy Hart during season five of the show.

Curtis, 28, has been romancing Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, 30, throughout the second series of Love Island: All Stars , with them both claiming they are ‘closed off’ to each other

They claimed that Curtis ‘hasn’t changed’ as he seemingly did a 180 on Ekin-Su, in the same way that he previously did to Amy during their series.

After both returning from the Casa Amor twist, Curtis and Amy had a discussion where he revealed his head had been turned by model Jourdan Riane.

Curtis famously left Amy reeling when she discovered that ahead of recoupling with her, he he’d shown an interest in pursuing Jourdan who he met in Casa Amor, with a devastated Amy informing him that she was gearing up to confess her love to him.

Following the breakdown of their romance, Amy decided to leave the villa and quit the show to escape watching Curtis and Maura Higgins‘ relationship blossom.

Sharing their thoughts on Curtis’ antics on Wednesday’s episode, they said: ‘All it took was one woman for Curtis’ head to turn. He hasn’t changed! What’; ‘I don’t really know the girl – Movie Night is going to finisshhhhh Curtis’;

‘Roll the rapes, bring on movie night Ekin needs to see what Curtis really said #LoveIsland’; ‘F*** Curtis’; ‘Oh look, it’s Curtis being Curtis *pretends to be shocked*’; ‘Curtis gets the slightest attention from the opposite gender and runs with it #LoveIsland’;

‘Ekin is going down the Amy route I fear’; ‘This is the Curtis I recognise’; ‘The way Curtis has gaslight Ekin, this is exactly what he did to Amy!!’; ‘Sorry did I just hear Curtis say “I don’t even know the girl” to Danielle about Ekin??’; ‘Curti is actually the villian in this scenario’;

‘I was rooting for this Curtis! He want Ekin to spiral so he can move on to the new girl without being the guy bad’; ‘Curtis has been a f*** boy idk why y’all are surprised’.

On Wednesday, Ekin-Su pulled on viewer’s heartstrings as she broke down in Ronnie Vint’s arms after Curtis enjoyed his night in the hideaway.

In the tearful moment, Ekin-Su got emotional as she saw Curtiscrack on with newcomer Danielle.

New bombshell Danielle picked Curtis to join her in the hideaway for a flirty sleepover, while fellow newbie Sammy Root picked Elma Pazar.

While Curtis and Ekin-Su have told each other they are ‘closed off’ and not looking to get to know anyone else who comes in, it appears Danielle has caught his eye.

At the end of the episode, Curtis told Danielle he ‘regrets’ saying he was closed off with Ekin-Su and is keen to pursue Danielle.

As Ekin-Su spotted their flirty chat, she broke down in tears and was comforted by Ronnie.

Meanwhile, fans blasted Ekin-Su‘s ‘overreaction’ to Curtis staying in the hideaway with Danielle.

Fans were left in hysterics as they claimed Ekin-Su was ‘making a deal out of nothing to get air time’.

Series 10 contestant Sammy also stars on TOWIE and is looking forward to ruffling feathers with his villa entrance.

Sammy bagged the cash prize after winning the series alongside Jess Harding but called off their romance soon after they returned home.

Speaking about his fresh chance at love, Sammy explained: ‘It did work out for me the first time, but things changed when I left the Villa. Hopefully this time round, I’ll leave with a relationship that goes the distance.

‘Last time I was very much a boy and was immature at times in terms of not thinking about my actions beforehand.’

He continued: ‘Now looking back, I feel like I’ve changed a lot and I’d like to think I’ve grown from a boy to a gentleman.’

Danielle, who appeared in series three, is looking to find the man of her dreams as she returns.

After appearing on the show as a bombshell in Casa Amor last time, Danielle is hoping she finds more luck this time round.

She said: ‘I was a lot younger going in the first time, I was 21! I entered during Casa Amor and lots of the boys were in strong couples! 8 years on, I’m older and know what I want, so I’m going to just go for it!’

Love Island: All Stars continues on ITV2 and ITVX at 9:00pm.

DR Congo’s president says country won’t be humiliated after rebels claim takeover

CNN
—

Democratic Republic of Congo President Felix Tshisekedi has vowed “a vigorous and coordinated response” against a rebel alliance that has besieged swathes of the nation’s mineral-rich east and forced hundreds of local troops to surrender.

In a defiant televised address on Wednesday, Tshisekedi declared that his country would not be “humiliated or crushed” as regional leaders push for negotiations with the rebels.

Goma, the largest city in eastern DR Congo’s North Kivu province, fell under the control of the AFC/M23 rebel coalition on Monday, the rebels told CNN. This was the latest in a string of territorial acquisitions by the group in recent weeks. The Congolese government has not confirmed the rebels’ takeover in Goma but acknowledged the city was under siege.

According to multiple local reports, the rebels are also advancing toward the center of the neighboring South Kivu after seizing towns in the province.

The Congolese government accused its neighbor Rwanda of equipping the M23 with both weapons and troops. Rwanda does not deny the allegations but has criticized DR Congo for collaborating with a Hutu militia group against a mainly Tutsi rebel group, the CNDP, which M23 grew out of.

Hutu militias carried out the genocide of Tutsis and moderate Hutus in Rwanda in 1994.

Tshisekedi was not present when East African leaders met on Wednesday to find solutions to the crisis. At that meeting, they urged him “to directly engage with all stakeholders, including the M23 and other armed groups that have grievances.”

Rwandan President Paul Kagame, who attended the meeting, said the only path to peace was for all parties to engage in dialogue and for mediators to understand the context of the conflict.

Several people, including foreign peacekeepers, have reportedly died and hundreds more are injured as Congolese forces battle to push back against the rebels.

In Goma, where residents told CNN that fighting has persisted, hundreds of government troops have been disarmed by M23, according to the Uruguayan army, whose troops are part of the United Nations peacekeeping mission in the area.

Foreign mercenaries believed to be helping DR Congo’s army have also surrendered, according to Rwanda’s military, which said Wednesday it “received and escorted over 280 Romanian mercenaries who had been fighting alongside the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (FARDC) in Eastern part of DRC.”

CNN has contacted the Congolese military for comment on its alleged use of mercenaries.

As tensions boil over in eastern DR Congo, authorities are faced with “two possible scenarios that may unfold,” according to an analysis by Ladd Serwat, a senior African analyst for ACLED, a UK-based group that collects data on violent conflict.

“The control of Goma by M23 and Rwanda Defense Force could push the Congolese government and regional allies to negotiate,” Serwat said. Otherwise, he added, “Kinshasa could push for a military solution and widen the conflict through increased battles to retake Goma and cross-border attacks into Rwanda.”

Tshisekedi has previously threatened to go to war with Rwanda. Kagame has responded in kind.

“We are ready to fight,” Kagame told French network France 24 in June last year, adding: “We are not afraid of anything.”

In a recent statement, DR Congo’s President has declared that the country will not be humiliated after rebels claimed to have taken over certain areas. The President assured the citizens that the government is taking necessary measures to ensure the safety and stability of the nation.

The rebels, known as the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), have reportedly seized control of several towns in the eastern part of the country. This has raised concerns about the security situation in the region, as the ADF is known for its brutal attacks on civilians.

President emphasized that the government is committed to protecting the sovereignty and integrity of the country. He urged the citizens to remain calm and vigilant, and assured them that the authorities are working tirelessly to address the situation.

The international community has also expressed concerns about the escalating violence in DR Congo. Several countries and organizations have offered support to help the government in its efforts to combat the rebels and restore peace in the region.

As the situation continues to unfold, it is crucial for all parties involved to prioritize the safety and well-being of the Congolese people. The President’s firm stance on not allowing the country to be humiliated sends a strong message that DR Congo will not back down in the face of threats to its security and stability.
