The Democratic Republic of Congo's (DRC) town of Mweso in Masisi, North Kivu Province is still reeling from the tragic deaths of 19 people following bombardments from a clash between the Congolese army and M23 rebel group on Thursday.
Both sides trade blame for the deaths with Congolese troops accusing M23 of turning on civilians after losing on the battlefield, claims the rebels denied.
