Democratic Republic of Congo: ADF-NALU Ugandan rebels wielding machetes kill 36 people in North Kivu
Ugandan rebels wielding machetes and axes have killed 36 people in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, local authorities say.
The raid in the area of Beni in North Kivu province was confirmed by a military spokesman and a local official.
It comes despite vows by the government and a United Nations mission to restore security near Beni after the murder of more than 250 people since October.
Authorities have blamed the violence on the Allied Democratic Forces and National Army for the Liberation of Uganda (ADF-NALU).
