The United States has sanctioned two individuals and two entities linked to violence and human rights abuses in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).

This was disclosed in a statement released by State Department Spokesperson, Tammy Bruce on Thursday.

While this action includes designation of Rwanda’s Minister of State for Regional Integration James Kabarebe and Congo River Alliance spokesperson Lawrence Kanyuka Kingston, alongside two of the Kanyuka’s companies, Kingston Fresh and Kingston Holding.

Since mid-December 2024, the Rwanda-backed armed group M23 has expanded control through DRC territory, seizing the North Kivu provincial capital of Goma on January 27 and the South Kivu provincial capital of Bukavu on February 16. 

The United States further said that this aggression has undermined the territorial integrity of Congo. “With Rwanda’s support, it has also threatened, injured, killed, displaced thousands of innocent civilians, cost the lives of three UN peacekeepers and wounded several others. 

It noted that this violence risks escalating into a broader regional conflict while said “Today’s action underscores the need for Rwanda to return to negotiations under the Angola-led Luanda Process to achieve a resolution to the conflict in eastern DRC.

The United States called on the leaders of Rwanda to end their support for M23, itself already designated by both the US and the UN, and withdraw all Rwandan Defense Force troops from DRC territory. 

“We call on Rwanda to respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the DRC.  We also urge the Governments of Rwanda and the DRC to hold accountable those responsible for human rights violations and abuses.

“The persistence of conflict impedes economic development and dissuades U.S. businesses from investing in both Rwanda and the DRC—a loss for the region and the American people”, the United States stated.
