NAIROBI – M23 rebels killed at least 140 people in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo last month in one of the worst atrocities by the armed group since its resurgence in late 2021, Human Rights Watch has said in a report.This is despite a peace process, brokered by the US and Qatar, to end the conflict in the region.Witnesses told the advocacy group that the Rwanda-backed rebels "summarily executed" local residents, including women and children, largely from the ethnic Hutu group in the Rutshuru area, near the Virunga National Park.The rebels have previously strongly denied any role in these killings, calling the charges a "blatant misrepresentation of the facts".It did not respond to a request to comment on the report, the rights group said.The alleged massacre...

The Rafah crossing in Egypt, 18 August 2025
Aid drivers hope for Gaza entry as Egyptian and Palestinian leaders meet at Rafah crossing
RAFAH — Approaching the Egyptian border with the Gaza Strip on the long, bumpy Mediterranean road, it is hard to ignore the increasing presence of camouflaged military personnel and equipment.Young soldiers holding machine guns peek out from abandoned structures, the meshed windows of armoured vehicles suddenly appear between the divots of sand dunes.Then you reach the wall.Concrete sheets stretch metres into the sky and far off into the distance, with one road bisecting them, leading to the actual crossing.It is lined with hundreds of trucks laden with aid bound for Gaza, but largely lying dormant as Israel continues to allow just a trickle of humanitarian access through the Rafah crossing.A WHO worker standing in front of a lorry laden with ICU beds told Euronews that just 40 vehicles...

US strikes deportation deals with Honduras and Uganda
WASHINGTON – The US has reached bilateral deportation agreements with Honduras and Uganda as part of its crackdown on illegal immigration, according documents obtained by the BBC's US partner CBS. Uganda has agreed to take an unclear number of African and Asian migrants who had claimed asylum on the US-Mexico border, while Honduras will receive several hundred deported people from Spanish-speaking countries, CBS reports.

Human rights campaigners have condemned the policy, saying migrants face the risk of being sent to countries where they could be harmed. Under the agreement, Uganda has agreed to accept deported migrants as...
