Manodje Munubai says that a UN peacekeeper from Ghana was fatally shot on Sunday while in a car. He says a UN civilian personnel died Sunday during fighting with a traditional militia in northern Congo known as the Enyele.
At least eight others, including policemen, an army officer and militiamen, also died in the clashes Sunday, according to the information minister in the northwest town of Mbandaka.
The Congolese army started battling Enyele militiamen in November after fighting started between the Enyele and Munzale tribesmen reportedly over farming and fishing rights.
