Twenty-six people were electrocuted on Wednesday when an overhead high-voltage cable fell into a drainage ditch at a market in DR Congo’s capital Kinshasa, local authorities said, giving a provisional toll.
The Kinshasa tragedy occurred as news broke of a massacre in the troubled east of the DR Congo in which at least 40 displaced people were killed late Tuesday by machete-wielding militiamen, according to a monitoring group and local sources. The Congolese presidency said on Twitter that “all light will be shed on the causes of this tragedy and those responsible will have to answer for it,” adding that President Felix Tshisekedi had decided last month on “the rapid relocation of this market in view of the danger posed by its current location”.
