Two DR Congo army generals and over 600 soldiers have defected to Kabila-led rebels, per KTPress. The defection marks a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict in the eastern region.

U.S. and European powers have rejected Kabila's armed rebellion, with officials denouncing the move as destabilizing for the region, chimpreports.com notes. The rebellion follows a series of military setbacks for the government forces.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo has been cleared from the FATF grey list after four years, according to CNBC Africa. The removal comes amid efforts to stabilize the country's financial system amid ongoing conflict and humanitarian crisis.

Meanwhile, the Ebola outbreak nears 5,000 deaths with over 10,000 cases reported in the region, per DaijiWorld. Misinformation is endangering health workers treating patients, as noted by AllAfrica.
