 ZIMBABWEAN COUPLE DEPORTED OVER SECRET BURIAL OF CHILD IN BOTSWANA A Zimbabwean couple has been deported from Botswana after secretly burying their child without notifying authorities. Motilinah Mpofu and Christopher Ncube were convicted on Thursday of concealing a death after they allegedly dug a grave for their child in the dead of night. The Gaborone court heard the child had died suddenly. Instead of reporting the death to police, health officials, or traditional leaders, the couple quietly buried the youngster and hoped no one would find out. But the secret did not stay buried for long.   Police moved in and arrested the pair.

 U.N sanctions armed groups' leaders in eastern Congo


The United Nations Security Council has imposed sanctions on leaders of armed groups operating in eastern Congo including Rwandan-backed AFC/M23 ‌rebels and the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR), which fights alongside the Congolese army, Reuters reported.


The conflict ​in eastern Congo is rooted in the ​fallout from neighbouring Rwanda's 1994 genocide.


Fighting in ⁠eastern Congo intensified last year when the ​AFC/M23 rebel group, which the United Nations and ​Western governments say is backed by Rwanda, seized large swathes of eastern Congo.


Rwanda denies backing the rebels.


The U.N. Security ​Council said on Thursday a committee that ​oversees an arms embargo on Democratic Republic of the ‌Congo ⁠added six individuals and two entities to its sanctions list.


Among them were Corneille Nangaa, leader of the AFC rebel alliance that also includes M23, ​John Imani ​Nzenze, M23 ⁠chief of intelligence, and Gustave Kubwayo, an FDLR commander.


Nzenze and Kubwayo ​were sanctioned last month by the United States ​which ⁠accused them of driving the conflict in the east despite mediation efforts by Washington.


U.N. sanctions include ⁠an ​arms embargo, a travel ban ​and an assets freeze.
