The civil society of the Kaniola group in Walungu territory, South Kivu, accuses AFC/M23 rebels, particularly officer Charles Kagigi, of committing war crimes including murders, extortion, and inhumane treatment. They documented incidents from September 21 to 24, such as the torture of teachers, the killing of a taxi driver, and the summary execution of three civilians returning from a match.
