In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, security forces have killed dozens of protesters amid massive two-day demonstrations demanding President Joseph Kabila step down after his second term ends in December. Human Rights Watch says 37 protesters and six police officers have been killed so far during this week’s conflict. The protests were sparked by President Kabila’s announcement that this year’s presidential elections would be postponed.
