DRC Seeks UN Inquiry Into ‘Genocide’ as France Pledges Emergency Conference

KINSHASA, DRC — The Democratic Republic of the the Congo asked the United Nations on Tuesday to open an independent inquiry into what President Félix Tshisekedi called a “silent genocide,” as France announced it will host an emergency conference on the DRC’s crisis next month.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Tshisekedi told the U.N. General Assembly that “all the signs of planned extermination are present … This is not just a conflict, it is a silent genocide that has been affecting the Congolese people for more than 30 years.”
He urged creation of an international commission of inquiry and asked for U.N. sanctions against those accused of genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity in the country’s long-conflicted east.
French President Emmanuel Macron responded by pledging to host an emergency conference in October to address the humanitarian and security crisis in the DRC.
“In the Great Lakes region, the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the DRC must be respected,” Macron said.
A recent U.N. report flagged possible war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by all sides of the conflict.
Conflict Escalates in Eastern DRC
Violence in eastern DRC has simmered for decades.
In recent years, conflict surged again with the return of the rebel group M23.
The rebels, accused of being backed by Rwanda, have captured cities such as Goma and Bukavu.
Thousands have died, and many more have been displaced by clashes between M23, government forces, and local militias.
Observers warn that another offensive may soon target Uvira, a city of about 500,000 in South Kivu, currently held by the Congolese army and allied militias.
Reactions and Calls for Action
Tshisekedi argued that decades of impunity have enabled repeated cycles of violence. He said the proposed inquiry would help break those cycles.
Macron’s announcement drew mixed reactions among diplomats and observers. Some see it as a needed step toward international pressure and aid mobilization. Others warn that conferences without strong follow-up may fall short.
One concern is how quickly an inquiry can begin, and whether it will have genuine access and power. International commissions often face challenges when states resist.
DRC’s government is expected to veto or block inquiry attempts if it sees them as infringing on sovereignty. But Tshisekedi framed his request as not blaming the country but fighting external and internal forces he says are causing mass atrocities.
France has also pushed previously for a U.N. resolution naming Rwanda as a backer of M23 rebels.
If the U.N. approves a commission of inquiry, it could gather testimony, collect evidence, and recommend actions including sanctions or referrals to international courts.
The October emergency conference in France may set the agenda for humanitarian aid, peacekeeping, and diplomatic pressure.
The success of these steps depends on buy-in from U.N. member states and effective coordination with regional actors.
For millions in eastern DRC, the stakes are high. If action is delayed, further suffering, displacement, and loss of life may follow.
The international community now faces a test: moving from speeches and pledges to accountability, protection, and lasting peace.

Tear Gas Won’t Stop Us: Sowore Vows to Continue #FreeNnamdiKanu Protests.

According to Nivo News, Nigerian activist and former presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has cautioned that the ongoing #FreeNnamdiKanuNow protest could spiral out of control if the Federal Government fails to release the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Speaking to journalists during the protest in Abuja, Sowore revealed that despite being repeatedly tear-gassed by security agents at various protest locations—including Transcorp, Utako, and Apo—demonstrators have remained resolute in their demand for justice.
He emphasized that the movement was not a call for violence but a demand for fairness and recognition of citizens’ rights, asserting that Nigerians deserve to be treated with dignity within their own country.
Sowore stated, “Nobody can stop this spirit that has been awakened. We are only insisting on bringing our brother home. They tear-gassed us at Transcorp, we moved to Utako; they did the same, and we relocated to Apo, where we had the largest turnout so far. This shows that very soon, things may get out of hand if they fail to act on Nnamdi Kanu’s release.”
The activist further explained that their message was clear—citizens deserve to be treated equally and fairly. “We are not calling for violence,” he added, “but if Nigerians are not allowed to enjoy full citizenship, then those who wish to go their separate ways should be allowed to do so.”
Nnamdi Kanu has been in detention on allegations of terrorism, treason, and incitement. The government claims he has been promoting the Biafran cause through inflammatory broadcasts and online statements.

“Go And Sin No More” – Kelechi Udegbe Shares Divine Message After Ghastly Accident.

According to Nivo News, Nollywood actor Kelechi Udegbe has opened up about a terrifying car accident that nearly claimed his life in November 2023, describing it as a turning point in his spiritual journey.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
In a recent interview on the WithChude podcast, the actor recounted how the incident transformed his faith and brought him into a deeper relationship with God. He revealed that the accident happened shortly after parting ways with his close friend and colleague, Gregory Ojefua, in Lagos.
Udegbe recalled their final conversation before the crash, explaining that Ojefua mentioned heading toward the Eko Bridge while he decided to take the Third Mainland Bridge. That, he said, was the last thing he remembered before waking up in a hospital bed.
“That accident was crazy. I was with Gregory Ojefua, my guy. We just finished where we were. I asked him where he was going, and he said Eko Bridge. I said I was going through Third Mainland. And that was it,” he recounted.
The actor said he regained consciousness in the hospital, confused and unaware of what had happened. “The next thing I remember was waking up in the hospital. I saw a bandage around my neck, and I couldn’t turn it. I was told to calm down,” he narrated.
Udegbe explained that he suffered a severe neck injury, known as whiplash, which made movement extremely painful. He underwent therapy to recover and recalled a profound moment when his doctor told him, “Go and sin no more.” According to him, it felt as though Jesus Christ was speaking directly to him.
Reflecting on the experience, Udegbe said the ordeal strengthened his Christian faith. “Before the accident, I was a believer who prayed and trusted God. But since then, my faith and conversations with God have reached a whole new level,” he said.
