Sixteen die in DRC massacre - Congo

Nairobi - United Nations officials are investigating yet another massacre in eastern Congo in which 16 villagers were killed by troops believed to be from Burundi, a UN statement said late on Friday.

Witnesses said about 20 men speaking Kirundi - the language of Burundi - attacked the village of Ndunda, 30km north of Uvira along Congo's eastern border, according to a statement by Monuc (United Nations Organisation Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo).

"According to witnesses, the victims, most of them women, were massacred with axes, machetes, clubs, daggers and other knives," said the statement, issued from Monuc's headquarters in the capital Kinshasa.

Monuc said four villagers were missing and two survivors of the attack were recovering in hospital in Uvira.

News of the attack comes in the same week that Monuc troops found the bodies of 65 people, including 40 children, massacred in the village of Katshele in the northeastern province of Ituri.

What is Bush doing for Africa? Why did he make a trip there a few months ago?

In the Sotu, to be exact.

More lies and hypocrisy, that's how.
