Kinshasa - Democratic Republic of Congo's

army on Friday killed at least 56 members of the Kamwina Nsapu

militia in the centre of the country who were seeking to avenge

the death of their leader, an opposition politician and an

activist from the area told Reuters.

Hundreds have died and tens of thousands have been uprooted

in central Congo in recent months in battles between security

forces and the militia, whose leader Kamwina Nsapu died last

August.
