Observers say DR Congo vote results 'lack credibility'

The Democratic Republic of Congo's tense election standoff
intensified Sunday after a team of international observers reported that
incumbent Joseph Kabila's win was so flawed it lacked credibility.
Kabila,
in power since 2001, was on Friday named the winner of the November 28
poll, but runner-up Etienne Tshisekedi immediately rejected the result
and declared himself president.
Violent protests and looting
erupted in Kinshasa after the announcement. Police said four people had
died in the unrest Friday and Saturday.
Protests also spilled over to the Congolese diaspora in London and Brussels.
