Supporters of late former DR Congo Prime Minister and opposition leader Etienne Tshisekedi, react as his remains come past ahead of his burial on June 01, 2019 in Kinshasa. The remains of Etienne Tshisekedi, the Democratic Republic of Congo's revered opposition leader, arrived in Kinshasa on May 30, in an emotion-laden moment for the country after his son Felix became president this year. An opponent of authoritarianism in DRC, Tshisekedi died in Belgium in February 2017 at the age of 84, and he was unable to witness his son's victory in bitterly contested election at the end of last year.

The success rate excludes those who distrusted health workers and fled, or those who couldn’t be found in the first place. (Photo by Jerome Delay/AP Photo)
