         300 Congo villagers were raped by rebel forces, led by a rebel commander.  The commander's name was Lieutenant Colonel Mayele and was in command of the Mai Mai militia group.  Villagers who were rapped included 235 women, 52 girls, 13 men, and 3 boys.  Many of the victims were rapped multiple times.  The commander was given to the UN by his superiors because they did not approve of his actions.
