protestors in several Congolese cities took to the streets to demonstrate
against the United Nations for failing to prevent Bukavu from falling to
Rwandan-backed RCD forces led by General Nkunda. About 16,000 women were raped
on a single weekend after General Nkunda told his troops "This city is
yours for three days." In September 2007 Nkunda, who had been persuaded to

troops with the Congolese government forces, again rebelled and started
attacking government troops north of Goma
