There was a big battle yesterday in Rutshuru with many killed and wounded, and it
seems that MONUC is now in charge there, supporting the MayiMayi against CNDP
forces.
It seems that the ethnic tension has been escalating and there is much hate talk along tribal lines. This will make peace and reconciliation much more difficult. Fear and instability over the last 14 years have destroyed many of the long patterns of peaceful coexistence.
