Six workers for the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) were killed in Cold blood while on a field trip outside the town of Bunia.
Four of those killed were Congolese. The other two were expatriates - a Swiss nurse and a Colombian relief worker. The Aid workers were killed on Thursday afternoon when they were driving in Red Cross marked vehicles on a road that was considered to be safe.
Some of the six were shot and others were shot and slashed with machetes, according to UN official Boni Mbaka in Bunia, who saw some of the bodies. The ICRC is believed to have received threats from one of the groups, the Hema, alleging bias in favor of their opponents, the Lendu. Also the Ugandan Security service has been sending death threatening emails to local and international activists after the expose of the Ugandan military machine and the first family in human rights abuses & mass scale thieving in the region.
The bodies were found by officials of the Ugandan army, which has, troops deployed in this part of the country. Uganda Military runs this region like a thief Dom-they arm, conduct killings, loot minerals, kill trees, kill elephants, appoint compradors(local agents), teach children how to kill and also divide families.
