At least 20 dead in new DR Congo massacre
[AlAhram] At least 20 people have been killed in a new massacre in DR Congo's eastern province of Ituri, a respected monitor said on Monday, adding that the notorious ADF militia were suspected. The attack took place overnight in the village of Bwanasura in Irumu territory, the Kivu Security Tracker (KST) said on Twitter.
David Beiza, head of the Red Thingy in Irumu, said volunteers from his organization "have counted 36 bodies" at the site of the massacre.
Ituri and neighbouring North Kivu province are struggling with attacks by gangs, many of them a legacy of wars in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
