In Kasai Occidental, the clerics said "the Muetshi, Katende, Mashala, Munkamba, Kabuluanda and Benaleka parishes have almost none of their heritage left after odious scenes of theft, rape and the profanation of holy places." The communique from Major Leon Kasongo, spokesman for the Congolese Armed Forces (FAC), was not the first of its kind.
"Rebel statements that a boat transporting allied troops (forces backing Kinshasa) on the Sankura river (in Kasai Occidental) towards rebel positions are a psychological and media ploy to prepare public opinion for ceasefire violations they plan to follow through in the Kole and Lodja sectors," the FAC statement said.
In Kasai Oriental, "nine parishes have been systematically looted, the schools and health centres destroyed, religious objects stolen and churches profaned in the Tschumbe diocese," the letter added, while the "scene of death is similar in the Kole diocese".
