DRC: The moment Bukavu is rocked by a deadly blast - BBC Africa
Explosions during a rally held by a rebel group in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo have killed at least eleven people and injured around sixty others. The blasts happened just after the M23 leaders had addressed thousands of people in Bukavu. The Rwandan backed group recently captured the city from the Congolese military. The DRC government blamed what it said was a foreign army illegally present in the country - an apparent reference to Rwanda. The M23 rebels said grenades were the same as those used by the Burundian army (which has been fighting on the Congolese government side).
