Mutanga Sentenced to Death

As Kate Cronin-Furman notes, Congolese warlord Kyungu Mutanga was sentenced to death by a military court in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Mutanga was found guilty of crimes against humanity, insurgency, and terrorism, as a result of a campaign focusing in the Katanga province, where more than 100,000 people were forced to flee their homes and at least hundreds were killed.
