Fighting continues in the DRC

The U.S. election day and election results may have erased the conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo from news headlines for a few days, but don't let that make you forget. Gunshots and explosions from militia fighting have begun again, despite the ceasefire; aid workers have been forced to withdraw from the area; thousands of refugees are on the run yet again; and child soldiers are being recruited to fight on the front lines.
