February 2nd official results from the Democratic Republic of Congo’s elections were disputed by international and local observers saying the election was flawed when President Joseph Kabila and his allies gained an outright parliamentary majority. These were the first elections since the end of the war in 2003 that left four million dead. When the results were stated veteran opposition leader Etienne Tshisekedi declared himself president and called for a boycott of parliament, and the Congolese Roman Catholic Church challenged the credibility of election results. The recent backlash to opposition has used a nun’s death, three priests arrested and two nuns being assaulted. Unease heightened after police violently broke up a peaceful march the church organized to demand truth about the November polls. Two weeks earlier, Sr Mary Lilliane Mapalayi had been killed at a school in western Kasai province where she served as a treasurer.’

Pray: that the truth about the November polls will be revealed peacefully.(Pr.25:15)
