Violence has erupted on the streets of Kinshasa, the capital of Democratic Republic of Congo.
Multiple embassies have come under attack from protesters angry at the advance of M23 rebels in the east of the country.
The embassies of France, Rwanda, Belgium, Uganda and the US were all targeted.
A fire also broke out at the French embassy.
The government says the police are back in control of the capital, and security has been boosted at the embassies.
In the country’s east, M23 rebels say they have captured the region’s largest city Goma.
Thousands of people have fled the area.
The head of the UN peacekeeping mission says there’s no question that Rwandan troops are supporting the M23 in Goma.
The number of peacekeepers killed in the last week has risen to 17.
Al Jazeera’s Malcolm Webb is following developments from Nairobi, Kenya.

The French & Belgians murdered Lumumba in cold blood. Until imperialism ends, the world will not see peace. Congolese are suffering the barbarism of colonialism. Shame on Rwanda.
This is infuriating. Why is Rwanda allowed to continually destabilize Congo?

It's really not that big of a deal if the US is not wanted there then leave it's that simple after all it is their country but when we do leave that includes our foreign aid & humanitarian budget & months later when these people can barely feed themselves are dealing with outbreaks of s#@t like malaria & dysentery & so on don't return when they ask for help it's time of the United States is focused on our own country for once & stop trying to solve everybody else's problems and putting out a presence where it's not wanted!!!!
