In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, members of a militia and a civil society group in the eastern city of Uvira are accusing Congo’s military of opening fire on protesters and killing three people. The protesters were calling for the removal of a new commander posted to the region, General Olivier Gasita, who is accused of backing the Rwanda-backed M23 rebels.

Safi Mwale: “I am Congolese, and I want peace. Gasita should leave. He should show us the boat he came on, so we can send him back, because we Congolese want peace.”

The M23 rebel group is among more than 100 militant groups fighting in eastern Congo and has emerged as the strongest adversary of the Congolese government. Earlier this year, President Trump brokered a peace deal between the DRC and Rwanda, allowing the U.S. to tap the DRC’s rich mineral resources.
