  Senator Prince Yormie Johnson, the controversial former warlord turned political figure, has been confirmed dead at the age of 72. The cause of his death remains undisclosed.

The article from AllAfrica discusses the ongoing political and security challenges in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) as it approaches the December 20, 2024, elections. It highlights the increasing violence in the eastern part of the country, particularly in North Kivu, where clashes between the Congolese army and the M23 rebels, backed by Rwanda, have escalated. This conflict has led to significant displacement of people and has raised concerns about the feasibility of holding free and fair elections in these volatile regions. The article also mentions the international community's involvement, with the United States and the European Union expressing worries over the potential for election-related violence and the broader implications for regional stability. Furthermore, it touches on the internal political dynamics, with opposition parties questioning the electoral process's integrity and the government's ability to ensure security. The piece concludes by noting the DRC's strategic importance due to its vast mineral resources, which adds another layer of complexity to the conflict and the electoral process.
