One lake, two worlds


Residents of the lakeside city of Goma walking in an area devastated in the fighting between government troops and the M23 rebel group.

ON one side of the lake, lovers glide on canoes, friends ride jet skis and families pose for pictures in the hazy sunset.

On the other side, some 3km away, dead bodies are washed ashore while ammunition and discarded weapons litter the water.
