"Deadly Crackdown: Congolese Military Accused of Sect Massacre, 43 Killed"
At least 43 people were killed and dozens injured during a crackdown by the Congolese military on a religious sect called Wazalendo in the city of Goma. The sect's supporters were protesting against the regional East African Community organization and the UN peacekeeping mission in Congo. The UN human rights office condemned the use of lethal force and called for a thorough investigation. The crisis in eastern Congo has displaced over 6 million people, and critics argue that the UN peacekeeping mission has failed to protect civilians from overlapping conflicts.
