Fighting continues in Kasai

    NAIROBI

    The Goma-based rebel Rassemblement congolais pour la democratie (RCD) claimed on Sunday to have killed at least 20 government soldiers in repelling attacks on Maloba and Kisele in Kasai. "We're fighting every day. There is no ceasefire," the Associated Press (AP) quoted RCD spokesman Kin-Kiey Mulumba as saying. Many of the continuing ceasefire violations in the DRC at the moment were centred around Kasai, with the situation around Kananga, Mbuji-Mayi and Kabinda particularly worrying,
    independent military sources told IRIN on Monday. There had also been reliable reports of attacks by Mayi-Mayi militia around Kasese, they added.
