 M23 says hundreds of Burundi soldiers captured in latest Congo offensive The Rwanda-backed M23 group has captured hundreds of Burundian soldiers during its latest offensive in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, a rebel official said, as clashes continued despite a warning from the Trump administration. Last week M23 entered the strategic town of Uvira near the border with Burundi, less than a week after the presidents of Congo and Rwanda met in Washington with U.S. President Donald Trump and affirmed their commitment to a peace deal known as the Washington Accords. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Saturday that Rwanda's actions in eastern Congo violated the Washington Accords and vowed to "take action to ensure promises made to the President are kept".

EMMETT TILL'S ACCUSER '"CAROLYN BRYANT DONHAM " PASSED AWAY AT THE AGE OF 88.(PHOTOS).


Carolyn Bryant Donham, the white woman who accused black teenager Emmett Till of making improper advances at her, leading to him being lynched, has d!ed at the age of 88. 


Donham, who had been battling cancer, died Tuesday night, April 25, in hospice care in Westlake, Louisiana, according to a d£ath report filed Thursday, April 27, in Calcasieu Parish Coroner’s Office in Louisiana. 


Till’s kidnapping and k!lling became a catalyst for the civil rights movement when his mother insisted on an open-casket funeral in their hometown of Chicago after his brutalized body was pulled from a river in Mississippi. 


Till traveled from Chicago to visit relatives in Mississippi in August 1955. Donham — then named Carolyn Bryant — accused him of making improper advances on her at a grocery store in the small community of Money. 


The Rev. Wheeler Parker, a cousin of Till who was there, had said 14-year-old Till whistled at the woman. 


Evidence indicates a woman identified Emmett Till to Carolyn's then-husband Roy Bryant and his half-brother J.W. Milam, who killed the teenager. 


An all-white jury acquitted the two white men in the k!lling, but the men later confessed in an interview with Look magazine. 


In an unpublished memoir obtained by The Associated Press in 2022, Donham said she was unaware of what would happen to the 14-year-old Till. Donham was 21 at the time.
