Authorities in the Democratic Republic of Congo are now laying blame on radical groups for fuelling violent protests against foreign peacekeeping missions including the United Nations.
This week, dozens of people were killed in Goma after new protests emerged against the Monusco, the UN stabilisation mission troops, and those from the East African Community Regional Force (EACRF).
