Catholic Church Backs Protests
The Catholic Church in the Democratic Republic of Congo has thrown its weight behind protests against President Joseph Kabila extending his rule.
It called on people to peacefully oppose his move to delay presidential elections until a census is held.
At least 11 people have so far been been killed in the protests.
It is the worst unrest in the capital, Kinshasa, since the riots which broke out after Mr Kabila won a second term in disputed elections in 2011.
Mr Kabila, who first took power in 2001 following the assassination of his father Laurent, is constitutionally barred from running for another term in elections due next year.

HH Haleisa Haleisa KWISA??? Zambians indeed we have rejected tribal politics. See how Tongas, voted for their HH in Southern Province. I can only conclude that indeed tribal politics has no place in Zambia. Zambians congratulation for rejecting tribalism!!! UPND has now failed 5 Times 2001, 2006, 2008, 2011, 2015.
