DR Congo President Joseph Kabila begins second term
The Democratic Republic of Congo's President, Joseph Kabila, has been sworn in for a second term in Kinshasa.
He reportedly promised to safeguard national unity, as tanks were deployed in the capital to prevent protests.
Mr Kabila's inauguration went ahead after the country's Supreme Court upheld his victory in November's disputed presidential election.
