 KISORO, Uganda (AP) - Mani Fosten's wife and three children are missing after the 35-year-old was separated from them amid the surging violence behind Congo's latest refugee crisis.
Now the farmer has only the clothes he wears and a small, battered Bible where he has scribbled his family's phone numbers — but there is no phone in his refugee camp.
Some 13,000 refugees like Fosten have fled into Uganda in the past 10 days amid one of the worst spates of fighting in Congo since elections last year. They're arriving with tales of rape and murder and looking set to stay permanently after years of deadly strife in eastern Congo linked to the 1994 genocide in Rwanda.
