At least 11 people died after explosions rocked a rally organised by an alliance involving M23 rebel leaders in Bukavu, the capital of South Kivu province in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.
The details on the cause of explosions were still scanty but the government of the DRC was already trading accusations with the rebels. Kinshasa promptly accused a ‘foreign army’ of rocking the rally with bombs while the M23 accused the government of plotting the explosives.
