Congolese troops fleeing the M23 rebels last November rap-èd at least 97 women and 33 girls, some as young as 6, a U.N. report released Wednesday said.
The U.S. Africa Command trained one of the units involved, Commando Battalion 391, in 2010 to be “a model for future reforms within the Congolese armed forces,” according to the AFRICOM web site.
The U.N. report covered “mass rap-è, killings, and arbitrary executions and violations resulting from widespread looting,” U.N. spokesman Martin Nesirky told reporters.
