The Democratic Republic of the Congo government has provided a $5 million (£4 million) reward to help arrest three leaders who have occupied much of the country this year.
Corneille Nangaa, former head of the Congo Doctoral Election Commission, now leads the Congo River Alliance, which includes the M23 Rebel Group. He has already held large gatherings in the city under the control of the group.
M23 leaders Sultani Makeenga and Bertrand Bisimwa also offer bounties.
The three men were prosecuted by military court last year and sentenced to death for treason.
A $4 million (£3) reward was also offered to arrest two journalists living in exile, which the government described as accomplices.
But the chances of anyone arrested appear slim.
In recent weeks, the army has been unmatched with Rwanda-backed rebels who have occupied the mineral-rich eastern Congo Doctor, including the two largest cities in the region – Goma and Bukavo.
Therefore, President Félix Tshisekedi is committed to trying to face international pressure on Rwanda to support the rebels.
Last year, a report from UN experts said as many as 4,000 Rwandan troops were working with M23 on the Congolese Doctor.
During the battle, thousands were killed and hundreds of thousands had no shelter after fleeing their homes.
The Congolese government is also seeking U.S. support in exchange for minerals.
The Congo doctor accused Rwanda of trying to control its minerals, including gold and keltan, for consumer electronics, such as cell phones and computers.
Presidential spokeswoman Tina Salama said on X last month that the Congolese doctor was in exchange for military help in the fight against the M23 rebels.
Rwanda denies robbing minerals from a doctorate in Congo.
It no longer denies its support for M23, but says it is trying to prevent conflicts from overflowing into its own territory.
Rwanda also accused the Congolese government of working with another armed group of the Congolese Doctor, which is linked to those responsible for the 1994 Rwandan genocide, with about 800,000, most of whom were tutsis.
Both the M23 and the Rwandan government are led by Tutsis.
The Congolese government denies working with the FDLR group, which is a “genocide militia.”
