Gunfire breaks up Congo rebel leader’s rally in Bukavu, residents say | World News – The Indian Express

It was Nangaa's first public appearance in eastern Congo's second largest city since his forces seized control of it nearly two weeks ago.

Crowds fled as gunfire rang out at a rally held by the leader of the M23 rebel group, Corneille Nangaa, in Democratic Republic of Congo’s eastern city of Bukavu on Thursday, residents said.

There was no immediate information on who was shooting, or whether there were any deaths or injuries at the event organised by the force that has battled Congo’s army and seized swathes of territory in the east since the beginning of the year.
