    Congo-Brazzaville has protested to Kinshasa after the DRC authorities last week seized one of its boats carrying arms and passengers up the Congo river, news organisations reported. Some 242 passengers were later released, but the boat and crew are still being held in Kinshasa. The Kinshasa daily ‘Le Phare’ said the boat was transporting soldiers and loaded with four tons of ammunition. It was on its way from Brazzaville to Impfondo, 600 km upriver.
