]]> The death told from rebel attacks in the Eastern Democratic Republic since Christmas has risen to 25.

In the settlement of Apetina Sana, near the city of Beni, fighters of the Uganda-based Allied Democratic Forces hacked civilians – including a  number of children – to death with machetes.

The attacks took place in what has become known as the triangle of death in which more than 200 people have been slaughtered since October.

Regional players are putting increasing pressure on Uganda to stop allowing the rebels to shelter there after incursions.

The attacks are making it nearly impossible to conduct vaccinations against and treatment  for the EBOLA  outbreak in the Beni region.

The World Health Organization fears it might be slipping out of control.
