  3. FRANCE 24 spoke to the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), Karim Khan. Last October, he announced that he had reopened an investigation in DR Congo into allegations of crimes committed since 2022 in North Kivu, a province in the east of the country. Since then, fighting has intensified between the Rwandan-backed M23 rebels and the Congolese army and its allies. Speaking to FRANCE 24 from the Congolese capital Kinshasa, Khan called the allegations of crimes against civilians in North Kivu "extremely serious".#Africa #Têteàtête #ICC #M23rebels #PaulKagame #DRCongo #internationaljustice
