JOHANNESBURG — Rwandan and Congolese rebels gang-raped nearly 200 women and some baby boys over four days within miles of a U.N. peacekeepers’ base in an eastern Congo mining district, a U.S. aid worker and a Congolese doctor said Monday.
Will Cragin of the International Medical Corps said aid and U.N. workers knew rebels had occupied the town of Luvungi and surrounding villages the day after the attack began July 30. More than three weeks later, the U.N. peacekeeping mission in Congo has issued no statement about the atrocities and said Monday that it is investigating.
