Summary

INTERPOL-UN Security Council Special Notice web link available.

Date of creation: 15.12.2023 Place of creation: Kenya

The “Alliance Fleuve Congo” (AFC) is a politico-military movement operating in Eastern DRC and is openly associated with several non-governmental armed groups, including the March 23 Movement / Congolese Revolutionary Army (M23/ARC). Several non-governmental armed groups, including the M23/ARC, have fuelled the armed conflict, instability and insecurity in the DRC, with the support of the AFC. By publicly and repeatedly calling for the military and violent overthrow of the Congolese government, the AFC also incites violence. The AFC is therefore responsible for sustaining the armed conflict, instability and insecurity in the DRC. AFC is also responsible for providing support to the armed group M23/ARC, which sustains the armed conflict, instability and insecurity in the DRC, in particular by forming an alliance and worked closely with M23/ARC.

Established in 2023. INTERPOL-UN Security Council Special Notice:

Listed pursuant to paragraphs 7(c), 7(h), 7(g), and 7(j) of resolution 2293 (2016), as reaffirmed by paragraph 2 of resolution 2688 (2023) and paragraph 3 of resolution 2738 (2024) and resolution 2783 (2025): The CONGO RIVER ALLIANCE has and continues to impede the participation of their combatants, namely M23 combatants, in disarmament, demobilization and reintegration processes. The CONGO RIVER ALLIANCE acts on behalf of, and provides support for, a designated entity, namely M23, and shares responsibility for M23’s destabilisation activities including through the exploitation of natural resources such as coltan.
