The UN Security Council’s sanctions committee for the Democratic Republic of the Congo has amended its listing for the Alliance Fleuve Congo (AFC), adding Front pour la Refondation de la Nation (FRN) as an alias.

The change was made on 11 November, according to a UN press release. The AFC entry says the entity is based in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo and was first listed on 14 July 2026. It also records that the group was established in 2023.

The update amends the entity’s listing; the UN announcement does not say that AFC has been removed from the sanctions list. The release points readers to the committee’s updated list and says changes are also reflected in the UN Security Council Consolidated List.
