Congo buried her death after the rebel assault

It was one of the bloody battles in decades in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

After Guma fell on a rebel group known as M23 last week, the International Red Cross said that civilians paid a heavy price, and that the death toll is expected to rise with more bodies.

Although the rebels are said that support from another boycott in Central Africa, Rwanda – the Rwandans denies this – there was fear that the conflict could grow into a wider war between neighboring countries and their allies.

Millions have died in the past thirty years in the Congo amid ethnic tensions and disputes over access to land resources and minerals. But many people were rarely killed in just a few days, experts Elian Billarier, the New York Times correspondent, traveled to Goma.
