Activities remained paralyzed the morning of Wednesday in Goma, capital of the North Kivu province in the eastern DRC. A mystical religious sect known as "Natural Judaic and Messianic Faith toward the Nations" had urged followers to enter United Nations (UN) bases and demand the departure of peacekeepers.
