MONUSCO
Kinshasa, 3 October 2025 – The United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO) strongly condemns the resurgence of violence on 2 October in Djugu territory, Ituri Province, which resulted in the deaths of more than thirteen individuals, including displaced civilians and at least seven members of armed groups.
The refurbishment and securing of the Beni military court are the result of a partnership between MONUSCO and the Congolese government.
Intended for 445 military personnel, the training brought together more than 200 participants. Supervised by MONUSCO peacekeepers, the aim was to strengthen their skills in combat tactics, operational discipline, and international humanitarian law (IHL).
Between January and October 2025, 44 ex-combatants—mainly members of the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR)—and 54 of their dependents (98 people in total) were repatriated to their country of origin safely and with dignity.
