Drunk soldier kills 12 people, injures 9 others in Congo

A Democratic Republic of Congo soldier stands on November 5, 2013 on a hilltop outpost in Chanzu in the eastern North Kivu region that was one of the M23 rebels' last stands. Rebels in the Democratic Republic of Congo's powder-keg east surrendered on November 5 after a crushing UN-backed offensive ended their 18-month insurgency in a region that has seen some of Africa's deadliest conflicts. Soldiers and UN peacekeepers sifted on November 6 through the materiel the rebels left behind -- including olive-green rockets allegedly used by the Rwandan military. AFP PHOTO / Junior D. Kannah
