    The missionary news agency MISNA says two Catholic priests are missing from Baraka. It said the mission was seized by DRC troops earlier this month and the two priests went missing shortly afterwards. There has been no news of them since. According to MISNA, rebel forces recaptured Baraka a few days later. The two priests may have been forced to follow the retreating DRC soldiers, the agency added.
