U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called for an independent inquiry into the shooting death of a Congolese radio journalist and said the killing underlined the risks of covering news in the country's restive east. Didace Namujimbo, a reporter for U.N. radio station Radio Okapi, was shot in the back of the neck Friday night outside his home in Bukavu, the capital of South Kivu province, Associated Press reported. His killing «underlines once again the deep insecurity in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, particularly for journalists, whose work leaves them particularly vulnerable,» said Ban in a statement released late Monday.
