Election news from DRC...
by David and Tim Bayly on December 10, 2011 - 7:26am
For those interested in that troubled land that used to be called "Zaire" and now is the "Democratic Republic of Congo" or "DRC," here's a good news source. If you'd like to learn more, the blog's owner also wrote a good book titled Dancing in the Glory of Monsters: the Collapse of the Congo and the Great War of Africa. Years ago, Dad wrote Congo Crisis. The crises have never stopped.
Please pray for those servants of God in DRC now as the thunderheads build.(TB)

Thank you for the link to that blog! My church supports a local reformed denomination in the Katanga region of the DRC (Joseph and Laurent Kabila's home region). It is next to impossible to find any news about the Congo, so this is a great help.
You may be interested in a series of photos covering the elections in the DRC that are on the Boston Globe's Big Picture site, here: http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2011/11/taking_the_vote_elections_in_e.html
The first half of the photos cover Egypt, the second half, the Congo.
Thanks, Seth; very sad contrast.
Love,
Sad indeed, however, did you see the polling location on Picture 25?
Yup, almost posted it here. Funny sort of.
Love,
