Several people were wounded in the Democratic Republic of Congo's capital, Kinshasa, Wednesday as riot police forcibly dispersed a banned protest by the opposition, who are calling for a re-run of last week's chaotic national elections. Police surrounded the headquarters of Martin Fayulu, one of five of President Felix Tshisekedi's challengers who had called on their supporters to protest. The protests come as the national election authority continues to release partial results of last week’s election. From Goma, reporter Zanem Nety Zaidi has details.
