Rebels allegedly backed by Rwanda killed at least 140 people in eastern Congo (DRC) in July, nonprofit organization Human Rights Watch (HRW) stated in a report published on Aug. 20.
HRW stated that the civilians, mostly ethnic Hutus, were “summarily executed” by M23 rebels in 14 villages in North Kivu Province in the east of the Central African country.
