45 Killed as Militia Attacks Camp for Displaced People in Congo's Djugu Territory
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the U.N. reports more than 45
people were killed after an attack on a camp for internally displaced
communities. The camp, located near a U.N. peacekeeping site in the
Djugu territory, was reportedly infiltrated by fighters of a coalition
of armed groups Sunday who carried out the massacre through the early
hours of Monday. The victims were buried in a mass grave. The U.N.
called the attack "a serious violation of international humanitarian
law."
