Congo: Soldiers Kill 4 People Protesting Delay of Elections & Kabila's Extended Rule
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the Democratic Republic of Congo, government soldiers shot and killed
at least four anti-government protesters on Sunday during nationwide
protests against President Joseph Kabila's extended rule. Kabila's term
ended in 2016, but elections have repeatedly been postponed, allowing
him to hold on to power.
