Rebels gang-rape almost 200 women in Congo attack

KINSHASA (Reuters) - Rebels in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo gang-rape
almost 200 women during a four-day seizure of a town, aid groups said.

Rwandan Hutu FDLR insurgents and Mai Mai militia haunt eastern Congo, terrorising civilians and raping thousands of women each year, despite a U.N.-backed campaign by the Congolese army aimed at neutralising the armed gangs.

On July 30, FLDR and Mai Mai groups attacked the town of Luvungi in North Kivu province, which they then controlled until until August 3.

"During the attack (the rebels) looted (the) population's houses and raped several women in Luvungi and surrounding areas," United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) spokesperson Stefania Trassari said on Monday.

"International Medical Corps (IMC) reported that FDLR systematically raped the population during its four-day stay in Luvungi and surrounding areas. A total of 179 cases of sexual violence were reported," Trassari said, adding all of the cases were of rape against women.

Humanitarian group the IMC said it was treating the victims.

"Nearly all reported rapes were described as having been perpetrated by two-to-six armed men, often taking place in front of the women's children and husbands," it said in a statement.

The United Nations has withdrawn 1,700 peacekeepers in recent months in response to calls from Congo's government to end the mission next year, but still supports operations against several armed groups in the east.

Roger Meece, the new head of the U.N. mission MONUSCO -- which replaced predecessor MONUC -- said last week the rebels were still a huge threat to the population and the United Nations would keep trying to wipe them out.
