Villagers returning home must make their way through Wednesday's frontline, where bodies still lie scattered on the road, amid empty boxes of ammunition.

Aid workers say two years of violence have forced nearly one million people from their homes.

Meanwhile, the UN peacekeeping force is preparing to send reinforcements to the city, which is considered an important trading center on the border with Rwanda.
