12 killed in Mayi-Mayi attacks

    NAIROBI
    Meanwhile, Mayi-Mayi attacks against civilian populations in the Hauts Plateaux area of South Kivu have claimed 12 lives, sources in the region told IRIN on Friday. Ten civilians were reportedly killed in an attack on the village of Rubarati about two weeks ago, while two people lost their lives in Kirumba. The sources believed the attackers were Mayi-Mayi elements opposed to reconciliation meetings currently underway between different ethnic groups in South Kivu.
