Dieudonné Yenga was a 13-year-old schoolchild when he and his father were killed by the Seleka armed group in Bas Uele, Democratic Republic of Congo.
The group attacked communities across Mangbungulu, Mugalie and Samungu between 7 and 10 October 2024. Dieudonné was kidnapped during this assault, and was killed approximately 36 hours later. He was shot and stabbed. His father, 37-year-old Umemboli Emmanuel, was killed the same day.
Dieudonné was a studious boy, who dreamt of becoming a teacher. There is a shortage of teachers in his region, and he wanted to help educate other children. Dieudonné and his father, a fisherman, were very close and liked to go for walks together.
Dieudonné leaves behind four sisters, four brothers, and his mother.
