Rioting and deadly protests against President JOSEPH KABILA on Monday and Tuesday claimed at least fifty lives, according to the United Nations.

The dialogue was hit by the Catholic church freezing its participation.

A co-moderator of the opposition groups taking part, VITAL KAMERHE in a statement said the postponement was called in light of the tragedy of those that died during the protest.

The African Union-facilitated dialogue has struggled for legitimacy since the beginning due to the absence of the main opposition, the Union for Democracy and Social Progress.
