Three days of national mourning has began in the Democratic Republic of the Congo after the alleged massacre of civilians in the country’s east, with the government now giving a death toll of “more than 100”.
The period of mourning began after DRC’s government accused the M23 militia –– with whom it is locked in a months-long conflict –– of slaughtering “more than 100” people at Kishishe, north of Goma city.
Goma residents join in a protest called by the civil society against the United Nations mission to the Democratic Republic of Congo and the current conflict between government forces and M23 rebels, in Goma, Dec. 1, 2022.
