A village destroyed by fire. This sounds like Darfur but it is northeast Congo.
U.N. finds traumatized villagers in Congo - UPI.com.
UNITED NATIONS, Jan. 6 (UPI) -- Refugee relief workers who reached villages in Democratic Republic of the Congo demolished by Ugandan rebels say they found villagers shocked and traumatized.
The team from the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees made its way to Tadu and Faradje in the Congo's northeast during the weekend, the United Nations said in a news release issued at its headquarters in New York Tuesday.
"Our mission found Faradje pillaged and destroyed by fire," agency spokesman Ron Redmond was quoted as telling reporters in Geneva, Switzerland. More than 800 houses, three schools, government buildings and health care centers had been set ablaze and most families lost their annual crop harvest, as well, the U.N. agency said.
