Human Rights Watch reports that M23 rebels killed at least 140 civilians in Rutshuru, eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, in July, with total deaths possibly exceeding 300. Witnesses say the group, backed by Rwanda, executed civilians, including women and children, with firearms and machetes, forced mass burials or left bodies unrecovered. The massacre occurred during the M23 campaign against the FDLR Hutu militia, despite ongoing peace efforts mediated by the United States and Qatar. The United Nations also accused the Rwandan army of supporting the killings, allegations denied by Kigali. The fighting between M23 and government forces displaced hundreds of thousands, and peace talks remain stalled amid escalating violence. HRW urged a more forceful international response, including sanctions and judicial proceedings against those responsible.
