| [PRESSTV] Four civilians and a policeman have been killed in festivities in eastern DR Congo as protestors demanded that President Joseph Kabila stand down this year. An AFP journalist said on Monday he saw the bodies of four civilians lying in blood in the Madjengon district of Goma, capital of the troubled North Kivu province, while the body of a policeman who had been hit with stones was on the ground in the neighboring district of Mabanga. Police front man Colonel Pierrot-Rombaut Mwanamputu said "a police officer was murdered by gunfire and lynching by demonstrators" and "a civilian died after being hit by stray rounds." |
