Police fired tear gas at scores of opposition supporters rallying in Kinshasa to demand that DR Congo's long-serving President Joseph Kabila step down this year, AFP journalists said.
Kabila, who has ruled DR Congo since 2001, is banned under the constitution from running again -- but he has given no sign of intending to give up his job in December.
Today up to 50 people have been killed in Kinshasa, after thousands-strong protests against President Joseph Kabila turned violent.
