At least five people have been killed in widespread protests in the Democratic Republic of Congo, United Nations sources say.
Protesters are demanding that President Joseph Kabila – whose expected term of office expired more than a year ago – should step down.
Police have used teargas to disperse protesters in the capital, where UN peacekeepers have been deployed.
Similar demonstrations three weeks ago led to a number of deaths.
A spokesman for the UN mission to the country said 33 people were injured in Sunday’s clashes and that dozens had been arrested.
Jean-Baptise Sondji, a former minister, told AFP a 16-year-old girl had died in the protests.
“An armoured car passed in front of the church. They began firing live bullets… a girl who was at the left side door of the church was hit,” he said.
