Last update: 6 hours agoM23 Pullback: M23 rebels have withdrawn from several areas in eastern DR Congo, including the strategic town of Sange north of Uvira, as FARDC and local officials say pro-government “Wazalendo” fighters moved in—an apparent shift after renewed pressure tied to a fragile US-backed peace push. Humanitarian Pressure: The wider crisis in eastern DR Congo remains brutal: fighting is driving mass displacement and leaving millions facing emergency or crisis hunger levels, with aid coverage still far below needs. Governance & Regional Links: In Kinshasa, DR Congo’s PM Judith Suminwa praised China-backed infrastructure work, including the Kinshasa ring road project, urging faster construction in the dry season. Money for SMEs: A UK-DR Congo partnership launched a $30m risk-sharing facility to expand credit for local small and medium businesses. Background: The week’s dominant thread is still security in the east—frontlines shifting, but civilians paying the price.
