80,000 PEOPLE DISPLACED BY FRESH FIGHTING IN DR CONGO OVER PAST
MONTHNew York, Sep 18 2013 3:00PMSome 80,000 people have been driven
from their homes in a new outbreak of violence in the eastern
Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) over the past month following
repeated clashes between the national army and rebels, the United
Nations reported today.

"Cases of rape, kidnappings and other abuses by armed men have been
reported," the spokesperson for the UN Stabilization Mission in the
DRC (MONUSCO), Madnodje Mounoubai, told a briefing, warning that the
population was living in precarious conditions.

"Entire villages have been emptied of their populations. Many of those
displaced, fearing violence from the belligerents, are believed to
still be in the forests in inaccessible areas," he said, stressing
that humanitarian organizations were very concerned with the situation
in the Ituri region of Orientale Province where the national army and
the Front patriotique de l'Ituri (FRPI) - the Ituri Patriotic Front –
have repeatedly clashed since August 22.

The new outbreak of violence is to the north of the Goma region, where
a MONUSCO unit has been helping the national army battle another rebel
group, the M23, in North Kivu Province which has seen little respite
from fighting since UN peacekeepers helped bring relative stability
and elections to much of the rest of the vast country over the past
decade following vicious civil wars.

Mr. Mounoubai said 120,000 people in all have been affected by the
violence in the Irumu region of Ituri through the destruction of homes
and the looting of property. Sporadic fighting between the army and
the FPRI had broken out most recently over the past weekend with both
sides using heavy machine guns, mortars and rocket launchers.

Over the past year the fighting with the M23 in the Goma region has
displaced more than 100,000 people, exacerbating an ongoing
humanitarian crisis in the region which already includes 2.6 million
internally displaced persons (IDPs) driven from their homes in clashes
with other rebel groups and 6.4 million in need of food and emergency
aid.Sep 18 2013 3:00PM
