Kinshasa - Fire broke out on Tuesday at the Democratic Republic of Congo's Supreme Court after clashes between police and supporters of Jean-Pierre Bemba, who had filed a legal challenge after losing the country's presidential election.
It was reported that thick black smoke poured out of the court building about 13:00 and the fire crew of the United Nations mission in DRC arrived to help the Kinshasa fire brigade, which was short of water.
