Two Mass Graves With 172 Bodies Discovered in Eastern DRC Following Rebel Retreat: Media
One grave containing 31 bodies was found in the Kilomoni neighborhood, while another 141 were uncovered in Kavimvira, a Western news outlet reported, citing Jean-Jacques Purusi, the Kinshasa-appointed governor of South Kivu province.
The rebel group's spokesperson Lawrence Kanyuka denied any notion of mass graves during AFC/M23's presence in Uvira, a news outlet said.
AFC/M23 seized several provinces during a rapid offensive last year, extending its control across large parts of North and South Kivu.
