According to AFC/M23 spokesperson Lawrence Kanyuka, the killings took place on July 12, 2025, in the Cirunga, Kabare territory.
'These forces killed four of our compatriots from the Cirunga area. These actions clearly demonstrate the regime's disregard for the ongoing peace talks and its aggressive intentions,' he posted on X.
Civil society actors operating in Kabare confirmed that among the victims were two primary school teachers from Kabare 1 Primary School. The teachers had just returned from a national examination center in the Canya area.
Kanyuka further alerted both the national and international community about the ongoing massacres being carried out by the coalition forces of the Kinshasa regime, as well as the deployment of its troops and heavy weapons near their positions.
AFC/M23 has warned of the possibility of renewed fighting if the ongoing peace talks between the group and the Congolese government, currently taking place in Qatar, do not yield results.
