News in Brief<\/h1>\n

In the Democratic Republic of Congo<\/a>, the national dialogue<\/a> between the Congolese government and participating opposition has resulted in an accord on Tuesday, October 18. The parties agreed that elections would be postponed until April 2018 and that the post of Prime Minister would be accorded to an opposition representative. However, the country\u2019s main opposition parties and figures, Mo\u00efse Katumbi and Etienne Tshisekedi, boycotted the dialogue and called for a \u00ab ville morte \u00bb the next day in protest of the accord.<\/p>\n

In North Kivu<\/a>, five people died in Butembo during clashes between the military and alleged members of the \u00ab Eglise corps du Christ \u00bb on October 15. Five days later, the FARDC reportedly killed 11 elements of the sect in Kabasha. On Saturday, October 22, one person died in Mayi Moya, Beni territory, during an attack by ADF rebels. Due to the insecure situation in the territory, auto-defence groups emerged to fight the militia. The next day, four FDLR rebels were killed and two others arrested by the FARDC in Rutshuru territory. On Monday, October 24, the army announced that an important FDLR chief had been arrested. Lucha called for the release of eight of its activists, who were arrested and detained this week by the Congolese police in Goma. Meanwhile in South Kivu<\/a>, confrontations between protesting taxi-moto drivers and security forces resulted in seven deaths on October 16. The day after, unidentified armed men attacked two hospitals in Kalehe territory. In the night between Saturday and Sunday, October 23, the Congolese army was reportedly able to repel an armed attack on the general hospital of Minova. In Ituri<\/a>, FRPI rebels attacked Ngasu village in Irumu territory, pillaging the local population\u2019s possessions. Three people died during confrontations between the militia and the FARDC. Also on October 16, clashes between Congolese soldiers and Mai Mai Simba in Kanyaboibi resulted in the death of three people. In Tanganyika<\/a>, a conflict between Luba and pygmy communities killed at least 16 people last week. An attack by Mai Mai elements in Kintobongo, Haut-Lomami<\/a>, reportedly killed two people and destroyed several houses.<\/p>\n

Burundi<\/a>\u2019s decision to leave the International Criminal Court was seen by many as an indication that allegations of government forces committing grave human rights abuses are grounded. Meanwhile, news sources reported the disappearing, arbitrary arrests and censoring of journalists and media outlets which voice criticism on President Pierre Nkurunziza.<\/p>\n

In the Central African Republic<\/a>, clashes between ex-Seleka elements and peacekeepers in Kaga-Bandoro (north of the country) killed about 30 people and injured 57 others. Reportedly, many victims were refugees. Another attack by alleged ex-Seleka members in Ngakobo (south of the country) again killed about a dozen of people. MINUSCA condemned the attacks against its peacekeepers, while civil society organisations and hundreds of protesters in Bangui called for the departure of the UN peacekeeping mission. They claim that peacekeepers do not reduce the presence of armed groups and fail to protect civilians. On October 24, four people died and several others were injured when the demonstrations turned violent.<\/p>\n
