Tshisekedi held "inauguration"

And it just keeps getting more interesting...

Today, Friday, Etienne Tshisekedi was sworn in to office, or he gave an oath to be a democratic president, in his home, since he is claiming to be the president of the DR Congo.

It's frustrating that text messaging is still not working in the country. It's hard for our friends to communicate with one another... In a country where phone calls are not very cheap, sending text messages can sometimes be the most affordable means of communication.

We need to continue to pray for the country, it's leaders, police, politicians and the international community... To act justly, with mercy and love for the Congolese people.
