This report is Probably true
and is of
High Priority.
Here is why -
The massacres of these civilians would be perpetrated in two villages
of the BWITO in the RUTSHURU Territory in the NORTH-KIVU Province.
According to the information we received, 5 civilians were killed
between 16 and 17:00 on the evening of Saturday 14 January running, in
MIRANGI, in the KANYABAYONGA grouping.
Victims who are members of 3 different families are identified as
NANDE. They had been surprised in their respective fields by the
May-May NYATURA, authors of this carnage.
In addition, another massacre targeting members of the NANDE
community: 6 people from the same family were killed in their field in
KYAGHALA, in the MUTANDA grouping.
This massacre attributed to the militiamen HUTU / NYATURA would be
committed on the evening of Sunday 15 January running. After their
forfeiture, the NYATURA fighters allegedly perpetrators of this crime
would have taken the direction of KIMAKA, destined for Groupements
TAMA and ITALA in the south of the Territory of LUBERO.
If the 5 civilians killed in MIRANGI were buried on Sunday, until the
time of the publication of this Bulletin, we are unaware of the
program related to the burial of 6 NANDE killed in KYAGHALA.
