Force in Play

Killed in Congolese drone strike on February 24, 2026

Congolese authorities have uncovered at least 171 bodies in two mass graves on the outskirts of Uvira, a city in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) that the M23 rebel group withdrew from in January after the United States requested the pullback as a trust-building gesture. Local officials and civil society groups say the victims were killed by M23 fighters who suspected them of ties to the Congolese army or pro-government militias. M23 denies involvement.
