A UN spokesperson, Farhan Haq, has told the BBC’s Newsday programme that the body wants “the perpetrators” of killings in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo) to be “brought to justice” after it confirmed the discovery of two mass graves in the Ituri province in the east of the country.
They found “bodies of some 42 people”, including “12 women and six children” in Nyamamba village and then the bodies of “seven men” in Mbogi village about 30km east of the city of Bunia, as we reported earlier.
There has been suggestion linking the deaths to the Codeco militia group, but Mr Haq said that cannot be confirmed and further investigation would be needed.
He also added that the UN is conducting “patrols” in the area and supporting DR Congo’s military.
