KINSHASA: Most mobile internet connections in Democratic Republic of Congo's capital Kinshasa were down on Monday, residents said, the day after a presidential election that both camps suggested they had won.

Residents of the eastern city of Goma also said that their internet connections were slow or down completely. Government officials could not be immediately reached for comment.
