peacekeeping missions in the world protesters stormed this u.n. building and a few others. that was suffering a lot because of the killing and everyone for your entire lives i've lost my mother and father to the rebels on be honest about that the u.n. must start syllable the phillips un more and leave them we won't stop we're strong people who lost many of our brothers and sisters to the river killings was on saturday 8 people were killed in an attack and benny was blamed on the rebels that put up with the violence people caught the victims' bodies to the protests it was like this is my dead sister right here she came from her temple to visit me last week but the rebels killed the protesters set the town hall and maze office on fire there's been a weeklong shutdown of shops and businesses by. the congolese army to watch an offensive against the allied democratic forces in october but locals say it's not enough oh with roots in uganda the rebel group has been fighting in the

north kivu region for more than a decade. to vowell it's killed more than 1500 people in the area in the last 5 years and it's one of many armed groups fighting for control of the mineral rich border region. in solidarity with those in beni people in the eastern border city of goma also protesting was a member of the show that i can finish up we're blocking the road and we reject all of the u.n. is working because it remains silent that people are killed or better and other areas the u.n. does nothing but the u.n. mission here has defended itself saying it does not shoot at protesters and can also engage in operations in a war zone without strict coordination with the congolese army but it has also warned it will use force when needed to protect its stall. meanwhile the violence in benny's hampering efforts to contain an ebola outbreak that's killed more than

2000 people since august sort of hideouts al jazeera. well the u.n. says it understands why people are angry but insists violence will solve nothing the secretary general's special representative layla's took part today in a meeting of the national security council chaired by the president with ministers and military leaders she stressed that she understood the people's anger and frustration after further deadly attacks by militia known as the allied democratic forces otherwise known as the a.d.f. the mission will work closely with the authorities to jointly find solutions for the people of the ne. well mary's carney is co-founder and executive director of friends of the congo a group that advocates for peace he explains why the un has consistently failed. carlie's people across the border really calling for them to to leave because they

haven't been able to fulfill on their mission in. keeping the peace there hasn't really been a peace to keep since the end of the war in 2000 to 2003 there's been an ongoing conflict this simmering conflict. led of course by a multitude of militia groups but also backed by by congo's neighbors so there is a real question and no congolese are mobilizing to call for the u.n. to to retreat however once that happens. responsibility is certainly going to be on the congolese state and that's where the ultimate responsibility lies irrespective of the performance of the united nations and we must be very critical of united nations in its inability to bring about some. security for the for the people in the region. in lebanon supporters of the shia movements have been facing

with antigovernment protesters for the 2nd night running hezbollah and amal oppose protesters demands for a complete overhaul of lebanon's power sharing system the posts are divided on a city tarion basis but some of the worst violence since protests against the ruling elites began last month or scenes like these are put in lebanon's military and security forces into an increasingly difficult position they've gone to great lengths to protect anti-government demonstrators for more than a month now confronting the powerful iran backed hezbollah could ruin the neutral stance the military 6 to maintain and split its ranks the army is one of the few state institutions that enjoy white public supports it's seen as a unifying force in a deeply divided country well earlier my colleague for the better spoke to rami horry in boston he's a journalism professor at the american university of beirut she asked him what message hezbollah and its allies are trying to send by putting their supporters out

on to the streets. so one theory is that there's starr this show of force just before the negotiations begin to create a new government to maintain a certain role for them in the new government that striated another syria is that no this is not linked to any kind of political resolution this is the hezbollah and m l and some other people allied with them saying we're fed up with this kind of citizen protest. and the issues that is causing and we're going to send these people back home as as happened in the past or a little bit of rough handling by the. the young men of hezbollah and their mother and others has sent protesters back home so we'll see which way it goes yeah and the lebanese army meanwhile finds itself in the middle of this can it stay neutral if the situation way to degenerate if nothing's going to get worse is there a risk that the lebanese army could be facing off with has been

a spa full forces and no there's no risk of an army has been the face off that's never going to happen the risk is that the army would get pulled into the tensions on the street and some of the violence and then perhaps the army would would implode from within and would collapse and some share members some christian members some sunni members some group members would all leave the army and go from there on the mission this is what happened during the civil war when the army collapse but i don't think that's going to happen. on kong's chief executive has admitted that voices have delivered a rebuke to the territories leaders kerry landsman speaking of to prove democracy candidates won a landslide victory in district council elections she also said that the poll which is normally focused on very local issues was very different this time round but we will wear of the large number of voters coming out to cast
