Members of the Lendu group are responsible for the mass killings of Hema during inter-ethnic clashes earlier this month in Ituri province in the Democratic Republic of Congo, according to a preliminary investigation by the UN Joint Human Rights Office. Investigators report that at least 117 people were killed in a series of attacks on multiple villages in Ituri province between June 10 and 13. They confirm that at least 94 people were killed in Djugu territory and 23 in Mahaga territory.
