Troops from Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)
and United Nations peacekeepers are striving to foster peace in an Eastern
Congo town where a cattle-rustling dispute has claimed the lives of 3o
individuals.
The U.N. has ordered for an immediate
end to fighting between the Bafuliru and Barundi/Banyamulenge communities in
the South Kivu province, CNN reports.
The recurring violence has led to thousands of
families who cannot farm and have to abandon their homes for refugee
camps.
According to the U.N, some factors responsible
for the degenerating situation include a lack of government spending on
agriculture, health, education, and infrastructure.
