KYANGWALI, Uganda (Reuters) - Nguna Abooki was getting ready for bed on the evening of Feb. 1 when men with machetes and guns ambushed his village in eastern Congo, killing two of his children and three of his brothers.

"They cut them using pangas. Others were shot," said Abooki, a 42-year-old fisherman whose words were separated by long pauses as he recalled the violence. "I don't know why they targeted us."
