 More than 100,000 children have been displaced by the latest escalation in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, UNICEF said on Sunday, warning the numbers are expected to rise as violence spreads. Since Dec. 1, intense fighting has uprooted more than 500,000 people, with children accounting for over 100,000 of those displaced in South Kivu alone, the UN agency said in a statement released Sunday. It said since Dec. 2, hundreds have been killed in the fighting, and children have been among the victims, with four students killed, six injured, and at least seven schools attacked or damaged. The rapid escalation has forced hundreds of thousands of children and families to flee within Congo and into neighboring Burundi and Rwanda, it added.

 Former Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore to face arraignment

Former University of Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore is scheduled to make his first court appearance Friday in connection with assault allegations.

Moore, 39, has been in custody since his Wednesday arrest but has not yet been formally charged. Pittsfield Township police, near Ann Arbor, responded Wednesday afternoon to a call from a woman reporting that a man had been attacking her and had been stalking her for several months. Authorities indicated the incident does not appear to be random.

The University of Michigan announced Wednesday that Moore, a married father of three, was terminated with cause. The university stated that credible evidence showed Moore had engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member. University President Domenico Grasso addressed the campus community, urging anyone with information about Moore’s behavior to come forward and emphasizing that such conduct would not be tolerated.

Moore had been in his second season as head coach, taking over from Jim Harbaugh, and compiled an 18-8 record, including 9-3 this season. The Wolverines are scheduled to face the Texas Longhorns in the Citrus Bowl, which will now be led by interim coach Biff Poggi.
