Shooting has been heard amid a police crackdown on a new student demonstration at Kinshasas university, AFP news agency says, following two days of bloody violence in the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo. At least 42 people have been killed in the violence, according to the International Federation of Human Rights, but these figures are disputed by the government. The authorities on Wednesday put the death toll at five. Protesters oppose a draft law that would enable President Joseph Kabila to extend his stay in power beyond his current mandate which ends in 2016. Anybody with more details on this political power struggle?
