DRC DEMOS AGAINST WEST ESCALATE

Protesters have burned US and Belgium flags on the streets of Kinshasa. Anger continues to rage over claims the West is fuelling worsening rebel violence in the eastern DRC.

Sadly, no one’s protecting the millions of civilians being killed and displaced in the east. As always, we’re interested in your comments.
