Description
Muslims the eastern DR Congo city of Bukavu say that their holy month of Ramadan has been heavily impacted by the recent conflict and upheaval which includes the city being seized by the Rwanda-backed M23 armed group last month. "This war situation has disrupted our entire prayer programme," says Sheikh Musa Awam, an imam at the Nyawera mosque in Bukavu. "The lack of enthusiasm in our mosque for this midday prayer is due to the lack of security in our city," says Junior Saleh, executive secretary at the Nyawera mosque. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
