Protestors on Thursday smashed the windows of the South African consulate in DR Congo's second largest city, Lubumbashi, and attacked South African-owned stores, in reprisal for attacks on foreigners in Johannesburg, an AFP reporter saw.
A demonstration called by a campaign group outside the consulate in Lubumbashi, southeastern DR Congo, spiralled out of control and protestors smashed the building's windows.
They then attacked and looted a store owned by the South African retail group MRP before police intervened, injuring one or two protestors.

I think I'd say, this is basically going on all over, all over that area that is.
There was one of these kinds of stories for Zambia, Zambia was a country I had to look up on the map, they are hardly ever in the news.
Bets on protests in London at the South African embassy? No, I wouldn't bet on it but possibly, we could see something like that. Even the USA?
Maybe I will open up a sticky African Crisis or South Africa Crisis thread....
