MORE than 100 people have been killed since January in clashes between armed groups in Rusizi, eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), a human rights group claimed. Of the 104 people killed, 13 triggered anti-personnel mines while the others died when the Rusizi plain “became a battlefield between several armed groups,” the League of Rights organisation in the Great Lakes region reported in the latest edition of its monthly magazine Amani. The group denounced the “multiplication of militia” in Uvira, in the DRC’s South Kivu province. – AFP
