Alot of dead bodies still littered in the bushes of kilorirwe

 The first victim of any war is the "truth".. But like I said up to 120 youths are said to have perished in the fightings in Kitchanga,kilororwe and petit masisi.We may witness more deaths as the wazalendo gets ready to take the fight to Rutshuru.None should be happy about this especially the parents of these young souls.It totally unfortunate that some politicians and military vagabonds have taken it a trade to enjoy over the blood of the new generation. What we may witness in Rutshuru may be worse.
