Security Forces: Burundian Refugees and Kivu Province

security forces: Another 117 people were wounded and one Congolese officer was killed, he said in a statement, according to CTV. Thirty-nine gravely wounded Burundian refugees were evacuated by helicopter to the city of Bukavu, the UN peacekeeping mission in Congo said. Maman Sidikou said he was deeply shocked at the violence. Friday's clashes erupted in Kamanyola in Congo's South Kivu province when Burundian refugees and asylum-seekers protested the expulsion of four of their countrymen from Congo, Sidikou said, citing credible reports received by the peacekeeping mission. The UN envoy called for a swift investigation and urged Congo's security forces to use force as a last resort. The death of the Congolese army officer led to the escalation of violence.
