Cocoyes kill Dolisie commander

    NAIROBI
    Cocoye militia allied to former president Pascal Lissouba killed the military commander of Dolisie in south-western Congo on Monday, Reuters said yesterday (Wednesday). Citing family members of the slain commander, Reuters said Colonel Tounda Vincent de Paul was shot dead when Cocoye militia infiltrated the town’s airport. Sporadic clashes between Cocoyes and government forces have been reported in the Dolisie area since a January attack on the town by the militia group, news agencies said.
