"I could not go back to my village"

Northeastern Congo has replaced eastern Congo as the center of violence.

The LRA is connected to southern Sudan and Uganda.  This is another battle of out-of-country rebels being fought in Congo. 

Tormented by the LRA in the north-east

Marguerite Animbwe Fuo fled her village of Manzakala in north-eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) after Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) fighters beat her two children to death.

"I could not go back to my village because I saw my two children being killed with machetes and sticks," she said. "Everything was destroyed or looted."

Animbwe, 49, was among the internally displaced persons (IDPs) at Doruma in Orientale Province when John Holmes, the UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, visited.
