Over 300 children have been arrested in the capital of Congo, Kinshasa as they have been accused of starting riots in the city.  The violence started on Saturday, between the two sides of rioters one of which supports the President of Congo, Joseph Kabila, while the other supports Vice President, Jean Pierie Bomba.  The people that have not been arrested after the riots are now hiding from the police as they are in fear of being pursued by the authorites.  The U.N's largest force, The Peacekeepers have sent reinforcements into the capital as the Congolese army have taken postions in the city.  The conflict is ongoing as both sides are waiting for the results of the election.
A Stewart from Nower Hill High School has quoted " I think the situation in Kinshasa is atrocious." This is a view that is felt strongly by many people all over the world as they feel that the children and citizens of Congo are being treated unfairly.
