 Local authorities on Tuesday banned the circulation of vehicles with tinted glass in Goma, the capital of North Kivu Province, eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), where fighting rages between the Congolese soldiers and armed rebels.

"Following alerts and reports from special services, vehicles with tinted glasses constitute a source of insecurity in the city of Goma," said Peter Chirimwami, military governor of the province.
