• Irc Study Reveals 31,000 Die Monthly in Congo Conflict, 3.8 Million Died in Past 6 Years, When Will the World Pay Attention? Asks Irc

NEW YORK, Dec. 9 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Amid a rapidly deteriorating security situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) issued a mortality survey today which finds that more than 3.8 million people have died there since the start of the war in August 1998 and more than 31,000 civilians continue to die monthly as a result of the conflict.

• Tens of Thousands of Civilians Flee Conflict in East Congo

KILIMANYOKA, Congo -- Rebels vowing to take Congo's eastern provincial capital advanced toward Goma Tuesday, sending tens of thousands fleeing. Chaos gripped a separate area as government soldiers fired on civilians and aid workers trying to escape, the top U.N. envoy said. Alan Doss said peacekeepers were forced to "respond," apparently meaning they shot at troops who are supposed to be their allies, after the soldiers opened fire on those trying to leave Rutshuru, a strategic town north of Goma.
