DR Congo protesters burn U.S. and Belgian flags

KINSHASA (War Watch): Police in DR Congo fired tear gas on Monday to disperse protesters who burned tires and U.S. and Belgian flags near Western embassies and U.N. offices in the capital Kinshasa, angry about insecurity in eastern Congo.

The demonstrators accuse Western diplomats of being accomplices to Rwanda, which they accuse of backing the M23 rebel group that is destabilizing the east of DRC.
