		Mukana is one of a string of villages in the north and center of the southern Katanga province to have been attacked by the Mai Mai -- local militiamen who were armed by the government to fight Rwandan-backed rebels during Congo's five-year war.
		Since Congo's war officially ended two years ago, the Mai Mai in Katanga have been left to their own devices and are attacking civilians across the province.
