MICHAEL HOLMES, WORLD NEWS: United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan wants Ugandan and Rwandan troops out of the Democratic Republic of Congo. He is urging the UN Security Council to pass a resolution to that effect, and suggests that the resolution be backed up by military force. CNN's Catherine Bond has more on this struggle, and we caution you that some of the images are graphic.</s>CATHERINE BOND, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Rwandan and Ugandan troops spent six days fighting for control of Kisangani, but in the end, it was Congolese civilians who suffered most, with relief workers counting more than 1,000 injured, and estimating at least 200 dead. Surgeons struggled to cope, forced by lack of medical supplies to carry out operations, including amputations, without anesthetic. Shocked and grief-stricken, people packed hospital corridors. "We are suffering for nothing," says this man. "These people come to kill us. We haven't asked these people to come here to kill us. We're not supporting the Ugandans, the Rwandans or the rebels." This video shows Rwandan soldiers on the banks of the Congo River. Ugandan troops were out of sight in a suburb. Observers say control of the dam in the center of Kisangani is a key issue politically, strategically and economically to the rival rebel groups which Uganda and Rwanda back. Caught in the middle of the battle, witnesses say shells rained down on the city, at one point, setting the Roman Catholic cathedral on fire, prompting people to try to put out the blaze by throwing roof tiles at it and to rescue church pews. A church compound used as a base by United Nations military observers was also hit by shells. Now fully in control of Kisangani, Rwanda says it could withdraw if the UN sends more peacekeepers to occupy it. Uganda has pulled out of Kisangani as a result of the fighting, but still holds positions nearby. Catherine Bond, CNN, Nairobi.
