AFC-M23 Rebels Reposition Heavy Weaponry Near Uvira Amid Regional Peace Pressures
AFC-M23 rebel forces began withdrawing heavy artillery and repositioning troops from the Ruzizi Plain toward the strategic town of Kamanyola on May 10, 2026. The movement, described as a 75-kilometer shift northward, has triggered localized civilian displacement across South Kivu province. While the repositioning may be linked to diplomatic mediation, the United Nations mission (MONUSCO) issued a simultaneous warning regarding a wave of deadly attacks targeting civilians by various armed groups in the restive eastern region.
