At least 22 people were killed and several others injured in a devastating fire that swept through a wedding reception in *Kinshasa*, the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo. The blaze broke out on *Friday night* and continued into early *Saturday morning* in a building in *Lingwala*, a neighborhood in northern Kinshasa. As people tried to escape, several victims were laid along the roadside, both alive and dead, as others attempted to help the injured. The cause of the fire is still unknown, but it is not uncommon for deadly fires to occur in densely populated areas of Kinshasa where urban development has outpaced provision of basic services like firefighting. Congo's deputy prime minister, *Jacquemin Shabani*, visited the site on Saturday morning and described the tragedy as just that.
