UN Security Council on Tuesday sanctioned the leaders of different armed groups operating in the east of the country.

UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) will launch the 2024-2025 Democratic Republic of Congo Regional Refugee Response Plan.

The plan seeks $668 million to provide support to Congolese refugees, including the newly displaced those living in protracted situations, and vulnerable host community members.

Fighting between Democratic Republic of Congo’s army and M23 rebels in eastern Congo has intensified in recent weeks killing scores of people and displacing hundreds of thousands.

DRC, UN experts and several western countries say Rwanda is supporting the rebels in the east of the country in a bid to control vast mineral resources, a charge Kigali denies.
