I wonder what the UN is going to do about this...gg Orgy of killing as Congo teeters on brink of genocide opinion.telegraph.co.uk Wielding machetes and rocket-launchers, hordes of tribal warriors and drug-crazed children marauded through the Congolese town of Bunia yesterday, unleashing an orgy of killing and forcing tens of thousands of terrified refugees across the Ugandan border. United Nations officials warned the Security Council that the crisis was potentially a genocide in the making, drawing parallels with Rwanda, where between 500,000 and one million people, mainly Tutsis, were killed by Hutus in 1994. "Bunia is on the verge of a humanitarian catastrophe," UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan's spokesman, Fred Eckhard, said. As the situation spiralled out of control, international humanitarian organisations evacuated 50 aid workers and their families from the town.
