Zimbabwean air raids kill 20 in Kalemie

    NAIROBI
    Some 20 people have been killed and 90 wounded in Zimbabwean air raids on the eastern town of Kalemie since September, AFP quoted a local hospital official as saying. The official in the rebel-held town said the hospital had performed amputations on six people and was running short of prostheses. In a separate dispatch from Kalemie yesterday, AP quoted townspeople as saying they were disillusioned with the government because of the air raids. Kalemie’s population is mostly Baluba, President Laurent-Desire Kabila’s ethnic group.
