In Congo, president Felix Tshisekedi has been sworn in for a second term, following chaotic and contested elections. He was inaugurated in the capital Kinshasa - in a ceremony attended by some 20 African heads of state. Tshisekedi and his party won the vote by a landslide - but polling was marred by fraud allegations and logistical disruptions. His rivals have urged their supporters to voice their opposition on inauguration day.
