30 people sentenced to death in Congo after Eid Mubarak clash

Some 30 people have been sentenced to death in DR Congo.

They were sentenced on Saturday after clashes between two rival Muslim factions this week killed one police officer and injured dozens of members of law enforcement.

The fighting in Kinshasa, DR Congo’s capital occurred on Thursday during the Islamic holiday of Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan.
