Militia group kills over 45, including children, in deadly attack on DRC displacement camp.
Over 45 people have been killed and a dozen wounded by the CODECO militia group in eastern Congo's Ituri province. The United Nations peacekeeping mission in Congo has condemned the attack and extended condolences to the families of the victims. The ongoing fighting between CODECO and Zaire has worsened recently, with dozens of civilians killed by CODECO this year. The killings come amid surging violence across eastern Congo, where conflict has been simmering for decades, with more than 120 armed groups fighting in the region.
