10 Congolese students killed in Sudan fighting
KIGALI, Rwanda (AA): At least 10 Congolese students were killed and others seriously injured when their university area in Khartoum was bombed, an official confirmed Tuesday.
“The deaths occurred after shelling by the regular army on an area occupied by an unarmed civilian population, including foreign nationals on Sunday,” Communication and Media Minister Patrick Muyaya told Anadolu.
“The wounded Congolese are being treated at a military hospital in Khartoum,” he said.
Congolese Foreign Minister Christophe Lutundula summoned the chargé d’affaires at the Sudan Embassy in Kinshasa on Monday to express the government’s “protest.”
Authorities announced in early May a plan to bring back about 350 Congolese from Sudan. Congolese embassies in Kenya and Egypt have been tasked to ensure their evacuation to Cairo or Addis Ababa for repatriation.
