Rebels kill Malawi soldier in DRC
A 50 year old Malawian soldier under the United Nations peace keeping mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo has been killed in a rebel ambush.
The Malawi Defence Force identified the soldier as Dyson Mayao from Ntata village in chief Mabuka’s area in Mulanje.
The Malawi Defence Force says Mayao worked as a motorman in Erengeti when the rebels ambushed the UN peace keepers.
According to a report on BBC, Mayao was the only peace keeper killed in the ambush that also killed 29 other lives that include a nurse and villagers.
The rebels are said to be operating from Erengeti forest.

REST IN PEACE BRO
I am glad that people are making such comments. Mbuzi zina zakhala zikunena kuti palibe chimene MDF ikuchita. Let me school those goats that much of the forex this country is using is from the peace keeping mission. Stop talking nonsense when you are ignorant about issues.
