Drunk Soldiers Throwing A Grenade Into A Crowd,15 Die Instantly

In two separate attacks in the Democratic Republic of Congo’s east, two soldiers shot and killed 15 people.

This comes after six people were injured when soldiers attempted to carry out an arrest by throwing a grenade into a crowd.

Before being arrested, a drunk soldier on a boat on Lake Tanganyika killed eight passengers, including children, according to a South Kivu official.

In Ituri province, another soldier killed a colonel, his bodyguard, and five civilians on Sunday. As he fled, the killer, who was also said to be drunk, was shot dead by a colleague.

People in eastern DR Congo have been subjected to frequent attacks by dozens of armed groups for more than two decades.

Félix Tshisekedi, the president, has stated that ending the violence is a top priority for his government.

Almost a year ago, two provinces were placed under siege.

However, the rebels and sometimes ill-disciplined Congolese soldiers have continued to wreck havoc.
