    The latest reports from the Democratic Republic of Congo speak of continued violence and unrest. 

    The AFP news agency is reporting that the headquarters of two opposition parties have been burnt down overnight. 

    On Monday the opposition said more than 50 people were killed during protests against President Joseph Kabila.
