KINSHASA, Congo –  The United Nations says at least two people have been killed after attacks on the headquarters of five opposition political parties in Congo late Monday. The U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights statement also says riots erupted early Tuesday, with shots fired. Congos government has said at least 17 were killed Monday in clashes between security forces and demonstrators opposed to President Joseph Kabila. The U.N. says about 200 have been arrested. Congo has seen rising tensions as Kabila is expected to stay in office after his mandate ends in December. The electoral commission says Novembers scheduled presidential vote wont be possible. A court has determined Kabila can stay in power until another vote is organized. The U.N. notes reports of "excessive use of force" by security forces and demonstrators.
