Congo fighting sparks fears: Ive never experienced peace [Video]

There are still corpses in the lava-formed streets of Goma where militia troops patrol in vehicles seized from the retreating Congolese army as missiles screech overhead.

Once it was only the twin volcanoes rising above the largest city in the eastern Congo — most active volcanoes on the planet — that residents had cause to fear. Now it’s the Rwanda-backed M23, a Tutsi-led rebel army that has killed upwards of 3,000 civilians in the past two weeks. Mechanical diggers are excavating long trenches to bury the victims because hand-wielded shovels can’t penetrate the petrified ground, and the threat of a cholera outbreak looms.
