Violence in the Democratic Republic of the Congo goes unnoticed as eastern province of Ituri struggles with militia attacks
In this photograph taken on March 13, 2020, Moroccan soldiers from the UN mission in DRC ride in a vehicle as they patrol in the violence-torn Djugu territory, Ituri province, eastern DRCongo.
Bloodletting in this troubled region has already claimed some 700 lives since late 2017 –a tale of trauma and sexual violence blamed on a little-known militia. The injured man was flown by helicopter to Bunia, where he underwent lengthy surgery. A local priest gave him a room on the bishop's premises to convalesce, with both hands bandaged.Valerie, a Fataki woman of 44 going by an assumed name for her safety, said she cowered beneath a parish building as the priest was assaulted.
Tania does not remember the precise day of the attack, but places it in late May or early June 2019, during a long spell of violence that resumed in December 2017.
