When looking up the latest on DRC elections forcast, I found the following post from yesterday on the Kofi Annan foundation’s website:

This is in the context where questions of the possibility of an election are being raised on the basis of both violence and funding:

And early last week we learned that “quickly” doesn’t necessarily mean “in the next twelve months”:

So please pray for Congo. Pray that they would have a just peace. Please pray specifically for an election soon. Pray against financial and insecurity issues, and against the objections of politicians. Pray for something that would give people some confidence that they live an a democracy, in which they are better off than if they were to fall back into war. And if it must be war, please pray that God would be merciful and that the church would grow, even in the midst of that horror.
