Action urged to end Congo violence
Updated on 21 November 2008
Dozens of members of the Congolese community in Britain marched on Downing Street calling for Prime Minister Gordon Brown to "act boldly and act decisively" to protect people at risk from escalating violence in the country.
Around 100 people gathered in London dressed in black to symbolise mourning for the 5.4 million people estimated to have died as a result of conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo since 1998.
The protestors, who met on social networking site Facebook, were led by an 11-year-old Congolese girl - born in the UK - carrying a wreath of funeral flowers.
