adminA Congolese army officer and four Ugandan rebels have been sentenced to death for the killing of a colonel credited with making great strides in restoring peace to the chaotic east of the Democratic Republic Congo.A military tribunal in North Kivu province concluded on Monday that soldiers plotted to kill Mamadou Ndala and that Ugandan rebels carried out the killing, its chief judge Colonel Joseph Maya Mokako told the AFP news agency.
However, the DR Congo is observing a moratorium on the death penalty, so the sentences will be commuted to life imprisonment. – AFP
