Congo will replace civilian authorities with military administrations in two conflict-hit provinces for a month, the government said on Monday, announcing the details of a state of siege to address worsening bloodshed in the east.

A surge in attacks by armed militias and intercommunal violence along Congo's border with Uganda have killed hundreds of people since the start of the year.

In their place, the government will install military governors and police vice-governors with wide-ranging powers, he said. Violence has remained endemic in eastern Congo since the official end of the civil war in 2003, but insecurity has soared in the past two years. It has carried out reprisal attacks on civilians since the army began operations against it in late 2019, killing about 850 people last year, according to United Nations figures.
