Multiple predators stalk civilians in Congo

Recently the governments of Uganda, Congo and Southern Sudan launched a joint offensive against the LRA rebels, but they have failed to capture or kill the group's commander Joseph Kony. And so the violence has continued, with civilians as targets for abductions, rape, mutilations and murder.

The LRA is not the only group preying upon on the Congolese population. Terrified civilians in eastern Congo told me the Congolese Army attacks them regularly, raping women and girls, stealing possessions and obstructing aid to displaced people. Other militia include the Maimai-un official followers of the Congolese army, Tutsi rebels from Rwanda and according to the women I spoke with, the most brutal of all, are the marauding Hutu genocidaires from Rwanda.
