Congo ethnic killings may amount to crimes against humanity – UN
UNITED NATIONS, Jan 11 (NNN-AGENCIES) — Killings, rapes and other barbaric violence committed by an ethnic armed group in northeastern Democratic Republic of Congo against a rival group may amount to crimes against humanity and possibly even genocide, the United Nations said.
The attacks in Ituri province have mostly targeted Hema herders, who have long been in conflict with Lendu farmers over grazing rights and political representation.
