Over 3,000 prisoners escape jail in DR Congo
This occurred in May last year after armed men attacked the Malaka prison but authorities said only 50 prisoners successfully got away. Scores of people were also killed in the process. Ne Muanda Nsemi, a self-styled prophet who was seeking to restore a monarchy in parts of DR Congo was said to be part of those who escaped. Prison authorities subsequently accused supporters of Mr Nsemi’s of being behind the attack. Two months later, over 900 inmates also escaped from Kangwayi prison in Beni after an attack from assailants believed to be from the shadowy rebel group, the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF). Eleven people were killed and dozens injured in the attack. Before this, in 2104, armed men raided a jail in the town of Butembo in the eastern part of the country, releasing all 370 prisoners. This was amidst violence that had already killed hundreds in the town.
