location: Walikale
notes: Simultaneous attacks led by FDLR [Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda] elements in four villages of Waloa Loanda grouping [eastern Nord-Kivu Province], in the territory of Walikale in southwest Goma left four FDLR elements and three civilians dead. The FDLR was caught in a stranglehold when Mai Mai Kifwafwa [tribal militia], came out and attacked the locality of Busuringi, said Walikale authorities. FDLR overpowered the Mayi mayi and after looting and burning the area, withdrew from the Ntoto forest, some hundred kilometres from Kando.
