Looting and Rape Reported in Eastern DRC
KINSHASA, Democratic Republic of Congo, Dec. 5 (UPI) -- The United Nations expressed concern for the safety of those in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo displaced by fighting amid reports of heavy looting.

M23 is comprised of Tutsi rebels and is suspected of committing crimes during its rebellion. It allegedly has the support of the Rwanda government, an allegation Kigali denies.
