Blast at weapons dump kills hundreds
Description
Flattened homes and debris after a series of blasts rocked Congo's capital.
Around 200 people were killed in Brazzaville, and as many are believed to have been injured after explosions at a weapons depot in the city.
Many are now destitute.
SOUNDBITE: Galo, Brazzaville resident saying (French):
"We are afraid today. We lost our mothers. We lost our children, and that hurts us too much. This is - this is what caused all this destruction (showing a shell). It's a bomb 21, we don't want any more of this here."
Living among munitions has been a reality for many in Brazzaville since the 1997 civil war turned the city into a battlefield.
