Tribunale militare della RD Congo
DR Congo Military Court
DR CONGO: 25 SOLDIERS SENTENCED TO DEATH FOR FLEEING BATTLE

July 8, 2024:

Twenty-five soldiers have been sentenced to death by a military tribunal in the Democratic Republic of Congo for fleeing battles against M23 rebels and theft, their lawyer and an army spokesman said on July 4, 2024.
Congo's army has been fighting the Rwanda-backed M23 insurgency for more than two years, as well as facing other militia violence, with around 2.7 million people displaced within North Kivu province. The rebels advanced into strategically important territory last week.
On July 2, the army detained 27 soldiers after they abandoned their positions in the villages of Keseghe and Matembe in the province. Army spokesman Reagan Mbuyi Kalonji said the runaways were found stealing goods from shops in the nearby village of Alimbongo.
They were detained along with four of their wives, who were staying in the village and who received the looted goods, Kalonji said.
A military tribunal was set up in Alimbongo on July 3 to try them and the magistrate sentenced 25 to death for theft, fleeing the enemy and violating orders, among other charges.
One soldier was handed a 10-year prison sentence while the four wives and another soldier were acquitted.
All denied the charges, aside from one of the 25, who pleaded guilty.
Their lawyer, Jules Muvweko, said he would appeal the verdict.
Congo's military, long blighted with internal divisions, insufficient resources, poor logistics and the country's endemic corruption, has become acutely dysfunctional in this crisis.
Eight officers were sentenced to death in May for cowardice and other crimes, exposing damaging disarray in Congo's armed forces which has been hobbling the fight against M23, army officers told Reuters.
Congo lifted a moratorium on the death penalty in March, citing treachery and espionage in recurring armed conflicts as the reason.
The central African country had introduced the moratorium on the death penalty in early 2000, but had never abolished it.
