The death toll in the Democratic Republic of Congo has risen to 110 as of Sunday, as rebels continue to attack the region. Eight additional deaths were reported over the weekend, spurring a protest Sunday, according to Agence France-Presse. People took to the streets of Beni, where the eight were killed, but the police fired shots into the air to disperse the crowd in front of city hall. President Joseph Kabila visited the region days ago when 14 others were also killed by the Allied Democratic Forces and National Army for the Liberation of Uganda. The Muslim rebels are using machetes to kill their victims, and officials in the country are looking for a stronger United Nations presence to help stop the slaughter.
