Villagers describe being ordered to bury bodies in mass graves after rebel 'massacre' in DRC's volatile east left more than 100 civilians dead
Villagers have described being ordered to bury bodies in mass graves after a massacre in the Democratic Republic of Congo's volatile east, which the government says left more than 100 civilians dead.
A truce was in place at the time between the M23 and DRC military, who had been locked in a months-long conflict. The M23 hit back, saying the allegations were "baseless" and denying targeting civilians in the village around 70 kilometres north of Goma."The rebels themselves buried the victims on Tuesday and Wednesday, saying they were Mai-Mai," the source said.
"I was wounded in the head on that day by shrapnel from a bomb that the M23 launched," he said, recounting seeing "several" bodies of members of the Adventist church. A local lawmaker from Rutshuru, speaking on condition of anonymity, also put the number of dead at around one hundred.
