A little-known conflict in the west of the Democratic Republic of Congo is raging close to the country's capital, Kinshasa... The initial spark for the conflict two years ago was a tax dispute between local ethnic groups, the Teke and the Yaka.
A militia pretending to defend some of the communities in the area has enlisted child soldiers, forced women to marry their fighters, and looted villagers' crops, sending people fleeing toward Kinshasa.
