Kalemie: Gunmen shot dead two Congolese aid workers last week in the DR Congo's southeastern province of Tanganyika where a conflict rages between Pygmies and Bantus, their employer said on Tuesday.
"We are devastated to confirm the tragic loss of our two staff members," Mike Meyers, head of the US group Food for the Hungry, said in a statement.
The two men were killed on their way to work last Thursday morning, 80 kilometres (50 miles) from the Tanganyika capital Kalemie, the statement said.
Food for the Hungry"has suspended all operations in the area and is engaging with local authorities in the ongoing investigation to seek justice," the statement said. (AFP)
