 JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP) - Angolan soldiers routinely and repeatedly rape Congolese women who have crossed the border illegally in search of work in the diamond fields, an international aid organization said Wednesday.
Doctors Without Borders said that over two weeks in October one of their teams saw 200 rape victims at their clinic in Western Kasai — a Congolese province bordering Angola.
Officials at the Angolan Defense Ministry were not immediately available for comment. Other Angolan government officials contacted by The Associated Press said they weren't aware of the allegations and could not comment until they had seen a detailed report. Congolese officials were not immediately available for comment.
