CONGO-POLITICS/FIGHTING - Fighting between Hutu and Nande ethnic militias in the Democratic Republic of Congo have killed dozens of people in the past days. 

Burundian Army General Leonard Ngendakumana, who backed a failed coup in May and a deputy to the leader of the aborted uprising, speaks during a Reuters interview in the outskirts of Kampala Uganda, July 9, 2015. Ngendakumana said his group was still working to oust President Pierre Nkurunziza, accusing him of stoking ethnic divisions in a country still trying to recover from civil war. The president, whom Ngendakumana served as a senior intelligence officer in government and during the civil war as a rebel fighter, has plunged Burundi into its deepest political crisis for a decade by seeking a third five-year term. Opponents say the president's re-election bid violates the constitution and a peace deal that in 2005 ended the civil war, which had pitted majority Hutu rebel groups, like the one led by Nkurunziza, against the army, then led by minority Tutsis.

Burundi's opposition politician Agathon Rwasa, 51, speaks during a Reuters interview at his home in the capital Bujumbura, April 23, 2015. Any move by Burundi's president Pierre Nkurunziza to run for a third five-year term risks undermining a peace deal that has kept the African nation calm since civil war ended a decade ago and could stoke tensions in a region blighted by ethnic conflict. Rwasa who also once led a Hutu rebel force, said the army could "divide itself into blocks" in that situation. He said he would call for protests if Nkurunziza runs again.

Patrick Manyika, 33, of Rwanda poses for a portrait outside the University of Redlands where he will starting his second master's degree in Geographic Information Systems, in Redlands, California May 28, 2014. Manyika was born in a Ugandan refugee camp after his Tutsi family fled Rwanda. In 1983, unrest forced them back to Rwanda, where they lived first in a national park, then in the capital. Manyika survived the Rwandan genocide of 1994, in which 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus were killed, by sheltering in a UN-controlled soccer stadium. After doing charity work and teaching himself various languages, in 2009 he had the opportunity to leave Rwanda and pursue his education in the United States. He is now about to start his second Masters degree. June 20 is World Refugee Day, an occasion that draws attention to those who have been displaced around the globe. In the run-up to the date, Reuters photographers in different regions have photographed various people who have at some point fled their homes. Picture taken May 28, 2014.

Agathon Rwasa, who led the FNL (National Liberation Forces) during Burundi's civil war, addresses a news conference in the capital Bujumbura, September 13, 2013. Burundi has opened an investigation into claims that a former ethnic Hutu rebel leader ordered the massacre of Congolese refugees in an attack almost a decade ago, its prosecutor's office said on Friday. The Banyamulenge, an ethnic Tutsi tribe from neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo, in August accused Rwasa of ordering the killing of 166 Banyamulenge seeking refuge inside a camp in Burundi in 2004.
