Over 50 killed by army in central Congo clashes

KINSHASA (Reuters) - Democratic Republic of Congo's army on Friday killed over 50 members of the Kamwina Nsapu militia in the centre of the country who were seeking to avenge the death of their leader, an opposition politician and an activist from the area said.

Hundreds have died and tens of thousands have been uprooted in central Congo in recent months in battles between security forces and the militia, whose leader Kamwina Nsapu died last August.
