On June 5, 2026, the US Treasury Department announced sanctions against John Imani Nzenze of the M23 rebel group and Gustave Kubwayo of the FDLR for their roles in escalating violence in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. The sanctions include asset freezes and travel bans, aimed at disrupting the financial networks of groups accused of human rights abuses and undermining the 2025 Washington Accords.
