World Briefing | Africa: Congo: U.N. Report Cites Slaughter

Armed groups executed more than 250 civilians, including 83 children, in one area of the Democratic Republic of Congo this year, according to a United Nations report published Wednesday. It said that rebels in North Kivu Province, along the border with Rwanda, killed the civilians between April and September. ?The systematic human rights violations committed by these armed groups, including the slaughter of so many children, are the most serious we have seen in recent times? in Congo, said the United Nations high commissioner for human rights, Navi Pillay.
