Rebels have attacked a United Nations peacekeeping base in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, killing at least 14 peacekeepers and wounding 40 others. It is the worst violence against the mission in the Central African country in years. "It's a very huge attack, certainly the worst in recent memory," Mr Haq said. DR Congo, a country the size of Western Europe, has seen immeasurable cruelty and greed as a result of its vast mineral resources. Outraged by the attack against @MONUSCO in #NorthKivu DRC last evening, where a large number of @UN peacekeepers have been killed & wounded.
