PhotoKINSHASA, Democratic Republic of Congo ? The emergence on Monday of several videos that appear to show uniformed soldiers shooting Congolese civilians has added urgency to calls for an international investigation of recently discovered mass graves in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Earlier this month, two United Nations officials ? an American and a Swede ? were kidnapped in the area along with four Congolese.
Now at least five new videos that appear to show members of Congo?s military shooting civilians are circulating on social networking platforms.
But in Congo, elected officials and human rights advocates are calling for an international investigation.
On Saturday, the United Nations mission in Kinshasa, the capital, released a statement expressing concern about reports of renewed fighting and restrictions on the movements of its peacekeeping forces.
