Two women accused of witchcraft and causing the deaths of several people were publicly stoned and their bodies burnt in the Democratic Republic of Congo's east, locals said Monday.
The people's Democratic Party, PDP chieftain, in a post that he shared on his page, said that he hopes the coup story in Congo will not unsettle the UN General Assembly that will hold in New York.
Despite the rapid expansion of Congo's economy driven by the flourishing copper industry, the nation grapples with escalating conflicts in its eastern regions, along with the management of Congo's substantial mineral wealth.
