The Democratic Republic
of Congo senate has delayed a vote on a national census which has
sparked violent protests because it would delay elections.
Clashes continued on Thursday in the eastern city of Goma, with police reportedly firing live ammunition.Human rights organisations say dozens have been killed, although this is disputed by the government.
Protesters say the plan is a move to ensure President Joseph Kabila extends his time in office.
The BBC's Maud Jullien in the capital, Kinshasa, says mobile internet and text services have been cut although fixed-line internet connections have been restored.
