At least three people have been injured in an opposition protest against President’s Kabila’s bid to run for office again in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The 44-year-old president took power in 2001 when his father was assassinated and won disputed elections in 2006 and 2011.

Some anti-government protesters were forced to seek refuge on the main podium as unidentified men attacked whoever was closest with batons and planks of wood.
