In DR Congo, mourning and anger in Goma in the east of the country… Three weeks following the violent repression of an attempted demonstration by the army, families bury their dead. Nearly 60 civilians lost their lives according to the official toll. The government funded this burial but the families now want answers regarding what really happened.
