## Resource

In tonight's edition: many people in Kinshasa stay home in protest against the possibility of their leader seeking a third term. Also, hundreds of Malawians and other foreign nationals flee their homes in South Africa as groups of xenophobic residents reportedly go door to door in the Western Cape issuing threats. And Senegalese football fans fear they may miss out on the World Cup after visa applications have been systematically rejected since the end of last year.
