Corneille Nangaa AFC M23 Innoss'B

Identity tensions in DR Congo are spiking again, and this time the fallout is hitting public figures hard enough that they're being dragged into arguments about where they actually come from. Corneille Nangaa, Coordinator of the AFC/M23, took the mic in Goma on Wednesday, October 7, 2026, to call out a specific wave of stigmatization targeting people from eastern DR Congo. The core issue he flagged is how some individuals are getting labeled as Rwandans purely based on their origin or community ties, regardless of their actual nationality. Nangaa made it clear that this isn't just happening to random folks but is actively affecting high-profile public figures who find themselves under fire for reasons beyond their control. He pointed directly at the artist Innoss'B as a prime example, noting that the musician is facing attacks and being treated like a Rwandan simply because his roots are in eastern DR Congo. This whole situation unfolds against a backdrop of deep-seated communal friction where questions about origin and nationality keep sparking fresh debates across the country. While these claims paint a picture of growing hostility, they remain reports from Nangaa's press conference without independent validation of every accusation made.
