At least 30 people have been killed in an inter-ethnic attack on a village in the South Kivu region of the Democratic Republic of Congo, say local officials. Witnesses say the dead included women and children, some killed inside a church where they had been sleeping. All the victims were of the Bafuliru ethnic background. It was not immediately clear who had carried out the attack, but the region has seen ongoing conflict between the Bafuliru and Barundi communities. A Reuters reporter said the victims had been shot, stabbed or burned in their homes. South Kivu's Interior Minister Jean-Julien Miruho told Agence France Presse news agency that the attack had likely been revenge for cattle raids. Source BBC AFRICA
