DR Congo to shun its own donor conference in Geneva
The Democratic Republic of Congo says it will not attend a donor conference in Geneva next month, complaining the country is being given "a bad image".
...
The UN says more than 13 million Congolese need humanitarian aid.
Nearly 4.5 million people are currently displaced in the country, having fled violence, it says.
...
But Mr Makila accused the UN of overreacting and said that aid organisations were propagating a "bad image of DR Congo throughout the world".
