In news from Africa, aid groups are reporting Rwandan and Congolese rebels gang-raped almost 200 women and five young boys during a four-day seizure of a town in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. The rapes occurred in early August after the rebels occupied the town of Luvungi. International and local health workers have treated 179 women, but the number raped could be much higher as some terrified civilians are still hiding.
