MINEMBWE UNDER ATTACK ONCE AGAIN BY MAI MAI MILITIA

Once again, the MAYI MAYI militia has attacked defenseless Minembwe population.
According to information in our disposal, five villages have already been attacked, looted and possibly destroyed and 5 people have died and 10 critically wounded.
The following are the villages that are currently reported to have been attacked by the Mayi Mayi militia: Kakenge,kalingi,muriza,Rugezi,and Rwitsankuku.

Although Minembwe is highly populated by a great number of government military forces, they have not intervened to protect the civilian population.
The civil population has had as usual to defend themselves. A group of men known as "abagiriye", a local defence force has acted in the defence of the population.

It is sad to see once again such a coordinated attack against the Banyamulenge population by a government supported militia forces despite efforts made by the Banyamulenge military group to try to join the government army.

Minembwe Free Press is still following closely this information.
