The festering conflict in Mai-Ndombe has been largely overlooked outside the Democratic Republic of Congo, as neighbouring countries focus on decades-long problems in the country’s east.

Nine people have died in an attack near DR Congo’s capital Kinshasa, where two ethnic groups are locked in a deadly dispute over land, villagers and a security official said. Are the foreign troops in DRC doing anything much to help contain the rebel groups ?
