| A Belgian surveillance drone used by a European Union force crashed onto a street in Kinshasa, the Congolese capital, killing a woman. “We don’t know if it was a technical fault or if it was shot down like the last one,” said Lt. Col. Thierry Fusalba, a spokesman for the force, which was deployed to help a United Nations force secure elections in July. A drone was brought down by gunfire shortly before that round of voting. A runoff vote for president is set for Oct. 29. The force quickly removed the wreckage from the crash site, while a crowd of several hundred chanted anti-European slogans and hurled abuse at a convoy of United Nations vehicles that drove by. Many in the capital accuse both missions of bias toward the incumbent president, Joseph Kabila, over his challenger, Jean-Pierre Bemba. |
