Description
In Kinshasa residents are suffering from rising prices for food and other services, including transport. The Congolese franc has depreciated by about 15% against the US dollar, according to official figures, and amidst war spending in the east of the country, people are calling on the government to be more responsible in stabilising the currency. "It's often traders who come to ask for dollars, they always need dollars, they don't need Congolese francs" says one currency trader. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
