This is but a fraction of what is happening in this country, we do need to show more concern about genocide in Africa!
KINSHASA (AFP) -- The United Nations is sheltering some 9,000 people who have fled attacks by armed groups in the Democratic Republic of Congo's unruly northeastern Ituri province, after violence which witnesses said left 52 people dead, a UN source said Thursday.
"The residents of the region continue to flood in, there are around 9,000 people from Tche and it seems that there are still some people held by armed groups in the surrounding countryside," Christophe Boulierac, spokesman for the UN mission known as MONUC, said in Ituri.
Witnesses, including some released by militias operating around Tche, a string of hamlets, said at least 34 civilians had been killed.
Those deaths bring the toll for those killed there in recent days to 52, said Boulierac.
