In eastern DRC, journalists face death, arson threats for reporting on war
‘Keep publishing your stories, and you’ll be killed’ Radio Tuungane’s Anne Nanduhura told CPJ she was threatened three times in June over her reporting on the government’s attacks and blockade of South Kivu’s Minembwe commune, a current hotspot and home to the Banyamulenge ethnic minority.
