Kinshasa authorities have slapped a dusk-to-dawn curfew on two northeastern DR Congo towns Thursday, following deadly clashes over the government's failure to prevent repeated civilian massacres.
Interior Minister Evariste Boshab announced the 7:00pm to 6:00am curfew on Butembo and Beni were he had flown to following the massacre of 51 civilians in the town last weekend.
