?The video shows shocking footage of killings and executions of civilians by uniformed personnel,? said a statement by the United Nations peacekeeping department. ?Look, they are dying,? the soldiers said in Lingala, the language of central Congo, as they blasted the civilians. Human Rights Watch, Western diplomats and United Nations officials said they were investigating the video, which was consistent with United Nations reports this week of Congolese government soldiers ruthlessly crushing a local militia in the Kasa?-Central Province. It seems the video was filmed as the government soldiers were approaching about a dozen Kamuina Nsapu followers who were standing together in a rural road, chanting. The video appears to have been filmed within the past 10 days, analysts said, during the government?s military operations to quash the Kamuina Nsapu militia.
