Vingt-sept militaires des Forces arm\u00e9es de la R\u00e9publique d\u00e9mocratique du Congo (FARDC) ont \u00e9t\u00e9 condamn\u00e9s \u00e0 la peine de mort par le tribunal militaire de garnison d\u2019Uvira, dans la province du Sud-Kivu.<\/p>\n
Le verdict a \u00e9t\u00e9 rendu le 2 octobre 2026, \u00e0 l\u2019issue d\u2019un proc\u00e8s impliquant 112 militaires du 21\u1d49 bataillon Simba de la Garde r\u00e9publicaine. Les soldats \u00e9taient notamment poursuivis pour \u00ab l\u00e2chet\u00e9 devant l\u2019ennemi \u00bb et violation des consignes, dans le contexte des affrontements opposant les forces congolaises aux combattants de l\u2019AFC\/M23 et leurs alli\u00e9s.<\/p>\n
Selon les \u00e9l\u00e9ments rapport\u00e9s par les sources locales, l\u2019accusation reprochait aux militaires d\u2019avoir abandonn\u00e9 ou de ne pas avoir suffisamment d\u00e9fendu des positions strat\u00e9giques situ\u00e9es sur les hauteurs de Malimba et Masangu, lors des combats des 22 et 23 ao\u00fbt 2026.<\/p>\n
Le tribunal a \u00e9galement condamn\u00e9 54 militaires \u00e0 cinq ans de servitude p\u00e9nale et 10 autres \u00e0 six mois. Vingt et un pr\u00e9venus ont, quant \u00e0 eux, \u00e9t\u00e9 acquitt\u00e9s pour insuffisance de preuves.<\/p>\n
Cette condamnation \u00e0 mort ne signifie toutefois pas que les militaires ont \u00e9t\u00e9 ex\u00e9cut\u00e9s. En R\u00e9publique d\u00e9mocratique du Congo, aucune ex\u00e9cution capitale n\u2019a \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9alis\u00e9e depuis 2003, malgr\u00e9 le maintien de la peine de mort dans la l\u00e9gislation.<\/p>\n
