Headline: “DRC: RSF and UNPC open a residence for displaced journalists in North Kivu province”

“Since last September, two journalists have been killed and multiple media workers have been attacked. Around twenty community radio stations have been closed, censored or subjected to control by the M23 rebel group this summer, while others have been threatened with prosecution by the government. Due to the many dangers journalists face in North Kivu, a north-eastern province of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), they are forced to flee their homes. Around fifty journalists from North Kivu had been displaced by the end of June 2024.”
