In the Democratic Republic of Congo, clashes have resumed between government-backed forces and rebel fighters near an eastern Congo refugee camp. The fighting assures the collapse of a tenuous ceasefire declared last week. In the town of Kiwanji, residents accused Congolese Tutsi rebels of killing residents in door-to-door attacks.
Displaced resident: “(To have peace) one of the armies should give in, but these two armies don’t give up. They all want to control the village. So we, the villagers, suffer. We, the refugees, won’t go back to the village if there isn’t another army to stop them.”
Some 250,000 people have been displaced in eastern Congo since August.
