Pressure groups in the Democratic Republic of Congo have called on the 10 million inhabitants of the capital Kinshasa each to light a candle to protest against severe electricity cuts in the city. They say everybody should light their candles at the same time on Sunday evening to light up the city, which is often cast into darkness. Congo's hydroelectric dams are poorly maintained, and water levels are low.

刚果民主共和国压力组织呼吁首都金沙萨1000万名居民各举一支蜡烛反抗这座城市严重的断电。他说，每个人都应该在周日晚上同一时间点燃蜡烛，照亮这座警察陷入黑暗的城市。刚果的水电站维护状况非常差，水位也非常低。
