An armed group in the eastern DR Congo has agreed to President Felix Tshisekedi's appeal to suspend attacks on its ethnic rivals, the militia and government said Sunday.
UN officials have blamed massacres they say are akin to "crimes against humanity" on the Cooperative for the Development of Congo (Codeco), which draws its members from the mainly farming Lendu people who have historically clashed with Hema traders and herders.
