{UAH} Police open fire in DRC ahead of planned demo

Police wounded two students on Monday when they opened fire to disperse thousands of youths protesting against President Joseph Kabila in the Democratic Republic of Congo, witnesses and an AFP correspondent saw.

One student at a demonstration near the University of Kinshasa in the south of the capital was injured after a police officer warned his men would shoot if protestors failed to leave. Several witnesses said a second youth was also injured by gunfire.

Earlier, they teargassed several thousand students gathered on the day opposition parties had called a demonstration against legislation that would extend the president's mandate.
