KINSHASA, Feb 1, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - The Democratic Republic of Congo's 
government said in a statement on Sunday it feared "at least 200 dead" in a 
"massive" landslide that struck a militia-held mine in the country's east.

Since its resurgence in 2021, the M23 armed group has taken vast tracts of 
the DRC's resource-rich east, capturing the Rubaya mine in North Kivu 
province in April 2024 with Rwanda's help.
