CONGO
Aid workers have recovered more than 150 bodies in the Congo town of Kisangani, where a rebel mutiny this month triggered a wave of reprisal killings.
Kisangani is under the control of Rwandan-backed rebels, the Congolese Rally for Democracy, who put down what they called a mutiny by dissidents who took control of a radio station.
The RCD has been fighting since 1998 against government forces in the vast, mineral-rich Democratic Republic of Congo.
