-

KINSHASA: Supporters of a jailed Christian sect leader attacked the prison holding him in Democratic Republic of Congo’s capital, freeing him and about 50 other inmates yesterday. Ne Muanda Nsemi — a self-styled prophet and leader of the Bundu dia Kongo movement — was arrested in March after a series of deadly clashes between his supporters and police. Witnesses said they had heard gunfire coming from near Makala prison at 4am and saw prisoners wearing blue shirts with yellow collars in the streets. Agencies
