KINSHASA, Congo — Police in Congo’s capital prowled opposition neighborhoods Saturday rounding up young men, who were seen being dragged out of their homes and shoved into waiting cars, a day after the government announced that the opposition leader had lost the disputed presidential election.
Public transport was suspended in this sprawling capital. Tires continued to burn in sections of the city that had voted for opposition leader Etienne Tshisekedi, and bus owners ordered their fleets off the streets, fearing vandalism.
But the tense city remained largely free of the violence that had been feared in the days leading up to Friday’s announcement of results.
