DRC: Villagers take up arms against LRA

Congolese villagers are forming self-defence groups to protect homes and families from Ugandan LRA rebels. LRA rebels have killed 567 people and displaced 115,000 in northeast Democratic Republic of Congo's Oriental province since September, U.N. refugee agency UNHCR says. Attacks surged after Ugandan forces spearheaded an anti-LRA offensive in December.
