Members of the M23 rebel group stand guard as people attend a rally addressed by Corneille Nangaa, Congolese rebel leader and coordinator of the AFC-M23 movement, in Bukavu, eastern Democratic Republic of Congo February 27, 2025.
The M23 armed group on Thursday denied accusations that its fighters had looted at least 500 kilograms of bullion from Twangiza Mining's gold concession in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo
The firm operating in South Kivu province, much of which is under M23's control, said this week that M23 had "secretly transported (the gold) through underground channels."
