THE United Nations on Saturday condemned the bombing of two camps for displaced peoples in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) which killed at least 12 people.

The UN called the attacks on the Lac Vert and Mununga fields camps, near the city of Goma, a “flagrant violation of human rights and international law and may constitute a war crime.”

Lieutenant Colonel Ndjike Kaiko, a spokesman for the Congolese army, blamed the deadly attacks on the M23 rebel force, which reportedly has links to neighbouring Rwanda.
