Fighting flares in east DR Congo
Mr Nkunda says the minority Tutsi community has been excluded
Dissident soldiers in the Democratic Republic of Congo have attacked army
positions in the east of the country, the government says. The attacks, close
to the Rwandan border, ended months of relative calm in the region. The army
said troops loyal to dissident general Laurent Nkunda bombarded the town of
Sake for several hours. United Nations officials said thousands of civilians
had fled their homes to escape the violence. The fighting comes amid
heightened tension in the Congolese capital, Kinshasa, where the former rebel
leader, Joseph Bemba, is challenging his defeat in last month's presidential
elections. Rebels 'repulsed' At least two soldiers are reported to have
been killed by in the attacks, in which the dissident troops used machine-guns,
mortars and rocket-propelled grenades.
Army commander Col Delphin Kahindi, speaking from Sake, said 15 people,
including eight civilians, had been wounded in five hours of clashes in which
his troops repulsed Mr Nkunda's fighters. Sake is a small town about 25km (15
miles) west of the provincial capital of Goma. Maj Ajay Dalal, a spokesman
for the Indian UN peacekeepers in the area, said rebel forces appeared to be
pulling back into the bush "For now, the firing has stopped. We are deployed
all around and are supporting the Congolese army but we haven't had to engage
yet," he said. Mr Nkunda left the army and launched his own low-level
rebellion after Congo's war ended, saying that the country's transition to
democracy was flawed and had excluded the minority Tutsi community.
