Suspected rebel fighters killed 14 people including a pregnant woman and a newborn in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo as President Joseph Kabila vowed a military response to similar attacks in the region this month.
The machete-wielding assailants carried out the assault near Eringeti in mineral-rich North Kivu province yesterday, Maurizio Giuliano, head of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in neighboring Orientale province, said by phone today.
