Politicians in the Democratic Republic of the Congo have voted to extend martial law in two eastern provinces.
President Félix Tshisekedi announced the state of siege in May last year.
Parliamentarians say the situation in the east is still volatile.
Armed militias and intercommunal violence have killed thousands of people.
The Congolese army, Ugandan forces, and the United Nations' largest peacekeeping mission, MONUSCO, are trying to stabilise the region - but the violence in North Kivu and Ituri provinces seems to be getting worse.
