Four people have been killed in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)
in clashes between Congolese national park rangers and Rwandan rebels
in the east of the country, the park says.

The Virunga national park said in a statement on Sunday that one of
its rangers and three rebel fighters of Democratic Forces for the
Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR) were killed in a battle in the park on
Saturday morning.

Two guards were wounded and a rebel was arrested, the statement said.

The park, which is home to the country's only population of endangered
mountain gorillas, said the attack was believed to have been carried
out "in retaliation against the rangers' efforts to prevent the
militias from regaining control of an area close to the habitat of the
critically endangered mountain gorillas."

Founded in 1952, the UNESCO world heritage site is the oldest national
park in the African continent.

The eastern Congo has experienced interminable cycles of violence since 1998.

The African country has faced numerous problems over the past few
decades, such as grinding poverty, crumbling infrastructure, and a war
in the east of the country.
