The Internet connection of AFP's office in Kinshasa started working after a lockdown of almost 48 hours, while police clashed with demonstrators over an electoral law before parliament that would enable Kabila to stay in office beyond 2016. The government authorised Internet service providers to put the network back online, without 3G technology, in a move that largely benefits big business, administrative offices and diplomatic missions, a source close to the case said.
