French ambassador to the U.N. Security Councill Jean-Marc de La Sabliere talks to the media in Bunia, Democratic Republic of Congo June 12, 2003. [Fifteen ambassadors from the security council are touring the Africa's Great Lakes region and stopped for a few hours in Bunia to see for themselves the devastation caused by more than a month of tribal fighting. Militias have killed hundreds of people and forced tens of thousands from their homes. The U.N. is sending an emergency intervention force to protect the civilian population, and to reinforce a small U.N. force already on the ground which does not have the mandate to intervene in fighting.]
