THE United Nations World Food Programme reported widespread looting of food stores and warehouses in the key Congolese city of Goma today.
News of the deteriorating situation in Goma came a day after the country’s President Felix Tshisekedi called for a massive military mobilisation to help fight Rwanda-backed rebels who were attempting to seize more territory in the country’s east.
