Six individuals face new United States sanctions for human rights abuses in northeast Congo
The United States has imposed sanctions on six people it accuses of exacerbating violence in eastern Congo.

Onesphore Sematumba, an analyst with the International Crisis Group, said the U.S. sanctions are mostly symbolic.
