Leading western powers on Tuesday called on the Democratic Republic of Congo to restore internet access, which operators say was cut on government orders a day earlier following presidential elections.
They also backed a request by the main Congolese election monitoring organisations to have access to the centres where the votes are being counted since Sunday's polling day.
