US-based Human Rights Watch reported this week that Rwanda-backed M23 rebels were responsible for mass graves found in Kishishe Village, North Kivu province in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. The rights group said the bodies are believed to be those of villagers and captured militia members executed by M23 fighters between November 2022 and April 2023. Reporter Al Katanty Sabiti Djaffar in eastern DRC, tells Daybreak Africa host James Butty, the M23 has not responded to the allegations, but that in the past, they have denied responsibility for any massacres.
