Rights Under Pressure: Human Rights Watch said security forces used excessive force against protesters defending the “constitutional order” during June 12 demonstrations in Kinshasa, including tear gas and baton use, and alleged pro-ruling party assaults went unchecked. Ebola Expands Fast: Congo’s Ebola outbreak remains “very active” with the death toll at 600 and confirmed cases at 1,759; health authorities reported suspected cases in previously unaffected provinces Tshopo and Haut-Uele, including Kisangani, while the health minister warned it’s too early to predict the peak. Response Strain: WHO said treatment centres are near saturation and the outbreak is still in an expansion phase, with transmission complicated by population movement, insecurity, and a funding gap. Eastern DRC Security: The UN urged an immediate end to fighting between the Congolese armed forces and the M23 militia, warning of continued civilian harm in South Kivu’s Fizi and Mwenga areas.
