DR Congo displaced numbers exaggerated, says government

Lambert Mende Oma-langa, spokesperson for the DR Congo government, disputes a figure released by aid agencies that more than one million people have fled their homes this year alone due to conflict. The displacement has been described as a 'mega-crisis' that is worse than the situation in the Middle East.
